Overview
Experience Jerusalem’s Old City on a walking tour through the Four Quarters, exploring the shared heart of the three monotheistic religions. We begin at Jaffa Gate, one of the city’s main historic entrances, and continue into the Armenian Quarter to learn about Jerusalem’s ancient Armenian community, including a visit to a traditional Armenian ceramics workshop.
From there, we walk through the Jewish Quarter, discovering its layered history and narrow streets, before reaching the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism. Along the way, we take in breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives, offering a deeper understanding of the city’s religious and historical significance.
The tour continues through the lively markets of the Muslim Quarter, filled with color, aromas, and daily local life. We then follow the Via Dolorosa, tracing the path of Jesus’ final journey, and arrive at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Christianity’s most sacred site.
We conclude by walking through the Christian Quarter and exiting at New Gate, completing a journey through Jerusalem’s history and traditions, an introduction to one of the world’s most remarkable cities.
