Attractions

Wailing Wal

The Western Wall or the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is the wall preserved after the destruction of the First and Second Temples of the Jews. The Arabs, who saw how the Jews grieve over the destruction of the temple, called this place the Wailing Wall. Currently, there is a tradition: when you standing at the front of  Wailing Wall you can  make the most secret dreams. You can also put a note between the stones of the Wall with a cherished desire, which will certainly come true. When you are planning to visit the Wailing Wall, it should be remembered that this is possible only in modest clothing that covers the knees and shoulders.

Yad Vashem

Since the mid-twentieth century, the Yad Vashem National Memorial has been located on Mount Pamyat in the city of Jerusalem. The complex was built in honor of the memory of Jews who became victims of Nazism in 1933-1945, as well as in memory of people who fought against fascism and saved the lives of Jews, endangering their own.
The complex has a memory hall, in the middle of it there is an eternal flame, and next to it is a stove, under it is stored the ashes of the Jews burned in death camps. Also in the complex there is a cave in the rock, made in memory of the children who died at that terrible time (one and a half million children).
The complex also has a partisan panorama and a large monument, on the walls of which you can read the names of the destroyed Jewish communities (several thousand names). At the end of the tour, visitors get to the observation deck, from where Jerusalem and the mountains surrounding the city are clearly visible.

Rose Garden

Rose Garden

The luxurious kingdom of flowers, spread over an area of 7 hectares, was founded almost four decades ago, in 1981. The garden has a huge collection of flowers - almost 400 species. If you are looking for coziness, go to the section dedicated to Japan. But be sure to check out the Garden of Nations as well. Here are planted flowers that have come to Israel from many different parts of the world - they were donated by the governments of friendly countries.
