About this activity

Holy Jerusalem is a complex city, thousands of years old, a place of yearning and identification for Jews, Christians, and Moslems. Join me on a walking tour during which we will meet and talk with people from the wide variety of cultures and religions who live in the Old City. We will visit holy places of the three religions: the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and more. As we wend our way through charming narrow streets, we will enjoy hidden courtyards, view the city from concealed roofs, be intoxicated by myriad scents in the colorful markets, taste authentic foods, and hear stories of the past and present that provide food for thought.
