In many religious practices, circumambulation or walking around a temple or mountain is a significant act. This tour will take us around the Old City of Jerusalem along the walls built by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman in 1540. We will enter each of the gates and learn about their stories. For those who are interested it is also possible to walk on the ramparts, on top of the Old City walls.

  TESTIMONIALS
A million thanks for being a great guide. Your high energy but mellow demeanor was perfect for our group and your deep historical knowledge kept it all interesting and in context for us.

The tour of Herodium was awe-inspiring, largely because of Shmuel Browns, our guide. He is highly knowledgeable, and comes equipped with graphic documentation that fills the gaps of what one sees. He gave us a taste of the detective work of archaeologists. Further, Shmuel is very professional and a real “mensch”.”
