Jerusalem is such a unique city that three religions intersect here. For tourists, this news is good because they will discover the diversity of cultures, architecture and spiritual mysteries.

Old Town– we will walk through the Jewish quarter, the Christian quarter, and touch the memories of representatives of all three faiths. Each quarter of this ancient district is different in its own way.

Mount Zion is located south of the Old City of Jerusalem. At the time of the Savior Zion was within the city walls. The mountain is mentioned in the Old Testament as a place chosen by God. It was here, in Zion, that King David, having conquered the city of Jebus, erected a palace where he transferred the Ark of the Covenant. Here is the religious synagogue named after David. Nabi-Daoud Mosque.

The Path of Sorrow (Via Dolorosa) – here we will take a walk along the last journey of Jesus Christ in freedom. It passes through the neighborhoods of Christians and Muslims, thanks to which you can see a bizarre combination of different cultures.

Church of the Holy Sepulcher – a key sacred site in Christendom. The temple is divided by six currents within Christianity.

Western Wall – the most important shrine for the Jews, a place of memory of the First and Second Temples and dreams of the Third Temple. It also plays a vital role because of the memory of the victims of repression.

Добрый день. Вчера были с сыном на экскурсии в Иерусалиме. Пребываем в совершеннейшем восторге! Экскурсовод Александр просто великолепен! Он потрясающе интересно провел экскурсию. Чувствуется, что он обладает просто энциклопедическими знаниями о тех местах, о которых рассказывает. Мы с сыном влюбились в Иерусалим благодаря Александру. Когда экскурсия завершилась, мы очень расстроились, нам хотелось продолжения :) Спасибо компании Атлантис и Александру за чудесный день!
