The Night Spectacular, a 45-minute show, uses trompe l'oeil technology---the stones of the walls and structures fade into the scenes and the screened images envelop the viewers, whisking them off to a one-of-a-kind multi-sensory experience.
Innovative techniques and a sophisticated computer system operate 20 projectors, 10 video players, 14 computers and 14 loudspeakers.
The Night Spectacular is the first of its kind and is for everyone---tourists, families, speakers of all languages and for all who love Jerusalem.
Details
The show takes place outdoors in the Citadel courtyard so it is best to dress warmly.
With minimal wording---other than a few biblical verses---this show is suitable for speakers of all languages.
Dates are subject to change. Please check the Tower of David website for current showings.

I booked tickets for the night show which was amazing, around 30mins it was good fun, although it was cold so come prepared. Earlier in the day I went around the museum, but note most of it is closed at the moment.
