Experiencing the unique energy that looms in every corner of the city, we’ll visit the holiest sites that are cherished and respected by all three main religions.
The Jewish monuments—King David’s Tomb and the Western Wall, which is the last trace of the Temple that used to be here thousands of years ago.
The Muslims -the Dome of the Rock, the place where Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven, as well as the beautiful Al Aqsa Mosque.
