Jerusalem Sightseeing

Welcome to Jerusalem! Our representative will wait for your arrival at Ben Gurion International Airport and pick you up. Our driver will send you to the hotel in downtown Jerusalem in around an hour driving. Then you'll have a free afternoon to visit local markets or just relax yourself.

Accommodation: Grand Court Hotel

Today your English-speaking driver-guide will greet you at the hotel lobby and take you to the New City of Jerusalem. We’ll visit Yad Vashem - the memorial hall of the Jewish holocaust by Nazis. There’re many relics including the picture wall of victims and videos of survivors' interviews. Then we'll go to Israel's National Museum, which is like a huge white porcelain lid of a jar in appearance, showcasing a variety of versions of the Bible. The Dead Sea Scrolls as well as a model of the Second Temple are the most distinctive collections here. Next, we'll go for a visit to Mahane Yehuda Market, the largest market in Jerusalem, where we can experience local people's daily life and taste local snacks. The driver will take you back to the hotel afterwards.

Tips: Yad Vashem is closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays; and picture taking is prohibited insides.

Jerusalem Old City is today's highlight. Your professional driver-guide will first show you around the Garden of Gethsemane, which is said that Jesus Christ often prayed and meditated here. The 8 giant olive trees in the garden are said to be there since the time of Jesus. We're then going to Mt. Zion, a holy place for Christians, to visit Dormition Abbey, King David's Tomb, and Room of the Last Supper. In the afternoon, we'll go to Church of the Holy Sepulcher, an iconic place in the Old City of Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was killed, buried and resurrected. Meanwhile, we will walk along Via Dolorosa, the last section of the road that Jesus walked on before his death, to reach Western Wall - the only remains of the Second Temple to be the most important sanctuary of Judaism. For thousands of years, when Jews come to Jerusalem from the world, they would get to this stone wall to pray and complain tearfully about the sufferings of their exile, hence the wall was named as "Wailing Wall", too.

Picking you up from the hotel, your English-speaking driver-guide will drive you for 40 minutes or so to the lowest spot on the globe - the Dead Sea. It has been in high concentrations of salt, and you can experience floating on the water and beauty treatment with Dead Sea muds if you are interested in them. After that, your driver will escort you to Ben Gurion Airport this afternoon as this Jerusalem tour comes to an end. The driver will drop you off at the airport on time for your flight homeward. Have a nice trip!
