Duration: 9 Hrs

Description:

After pick-up from your hotel, we transfer to Mount Scopus for a scenic overview of the entire City of Jerusalem. This mountain ridge is east of the Old City and named for the Olive groves that once covered its slopes. According to the Gospel, a number of important events in the life of Jesus took place here, including where he ascended into heaven. The Mount has been a site of Christian worship since ancient times and continues to be a place of pilgrimage for Eastern Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant believers. From here, we see the Dome of the Rock at the Temple Mount Esplanade. It has been said that this is where heaven meets earth.

We continue past the Garden of Gethsemane, where it is believed that Jesus prayed on the night he was arrested by Roman soldiers. Continue to the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem and see the famous Western Wall or Wailing Wall, one of the holiest of all Jewish sites. Then in the Christian Quarter, walk along the Via Dolorosa, the street that Jesus travelled on the way to his crucifixion. Here, we look for the 14 Stations of the Cross while retracing Jesus’ steps to the Hill of Calvary, now the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

We then continue onto Cardo, the main thoroughfare of Byzantine Jerusalem, where the coach will provide transportation for the short trip to Bethlehem.

Explore the Church of the Nativity, where the birth of Jesus of Nazareth is said to have occurred. Manger Square is where the majority of religious activity in Bethlehem takes place, with the Church of the Nativity and the Mosque of Omar, the oldest and only mosque in the Old City of Bethlehem. See where Jesus was placed in a manger after his birth.

Stop by the Greek and Catholic Churches here and then board the coach for our return trip back to your Jerusalem hotel.
