ISRAEL: From The City Of David To The Western Wall

Jerusalem during the end of the Second Temple period was known internationally for its beauty and grandeur. Thanks to recent excavations one can now walk its streets and be amazed by its splendor. Join us on a fascinating tour of sites that were just uncovered. Be amazed by the excavation in the Central (Tyropoeon) Valley where we will walk through a section of the Herodian Channel that is approximately 500 feet long. The tour will reach its climax as we behold the impressive foundations stones of the Western Wall at the foot of the Temple Mount. From there we will climb and exit onto the grandiose road where the Jewish pilgrims walked, two thousand years ago.

Come join in the excitement as Ancient Jerusalem comes to life, before our very own eyes.

The tour is approximately 1 ½ hours long and is appropriate for people of all ages, except those with extreme difficulties walking.
