A visit to Santa's House

Accessible
Santa’s House is one of Jerusalem's most unique and magical places. Situated in an old stone house in the Old City of Jerusalem, Santa's House spreads love, joy, and peace to children in the Holy Land.

Visit Santa's House in the Holy Land

This is where children (and adults) can experience the magic of Christmas and meet Santa Claus. The house is open for visitors from all around Israel and from all around the world.

Spread Christmas Cheer

This unique place belongs to the Kassissieh Family, and they have been living here for the past 700 years! Inside the house, you'll find stone walls and arches, a domed ceiling, and a even fantasy room. You will also find plenty of hand-made decorations and a magical holiday atmosphere. Issa Kassissieh is the Jerusalem Santa, and he has been spreading Christmas cheer in the Holy City for over 10 years now. Santa’s House is a volunteer non-profit project. The project relies exclusively on donations and contributions to provide gifts and treats for the children.

    You have to visit this place with your children during the winter holidays. There is the Santa ready to take pictures together with you and a souvenir shop.
