This tour covers many of the highlights of Christian history, presence and influence in Jerusalem's Old City. Less than a square kilometer in area, the Old City is bustling with thousands of residents and visitors, and filled with markets, sacred sites, places of religious learning, modern cafes, archaeological excavations, and hidden gems. I will take you to the important churches and monuments. Along the way, we will connect the sites to the stories in the Gospels and the general history of Jerusalem. I will also share local stories of daily life in Jerusalem, take you to my favourite out-of-the way viewpoints and alleys, and to taste local treats. I'm passionate about this city and have lots to share with you! This is a customized tour, so the specific route we take and sites we visit will be personalized to your interests and pace.
- We start with an orientation from a panoramic viewpoint. - Then we will enter the stone alleys and explore the Christian highlights of the Old City learning about its foundations and history, sources and sects. - It is a packed day that includes a lot of walking. We would aim to include the following: * Mount of Olives & panoramic lookout * Churches - Dominus Flevit, Garden of Gethsemane/Basilica of the Agony (this is mostly a downhill walk) * Cross the Kidron Valley * Enter the Old City through the Lions Gate (uphill walk) * Via Dolorosa ("Way of Sorrow") pilgrimage path and several of the churches en route * Western Wall & Jewish quarter views * Church of the Holy Sepulcher - if crowded, we will need a lot of time here * Arab Market * Mt Zion (Cenacle "Upper Room" and David's Tomb), time permitting ** Access to all sites is not guaranteed due to different opening hours and closures for special events.
