Attractions

Old town in Jerusalem

At this part of the city located  its main attractions are concentrated. In the Old City are the main shrines of three religions: Muslim, Jewish and Christian. There are also several quarters in which Jews, Arabs, Christians and Armenians live. Despite the fact that Armenians also are Christians, separate services are held for them in temples, and they live separately. In the Armenian quarter there are practically no tourist excursions. Everyone can see the stunning monuments of ancient architecture, just a walk through the Old Town. The Tower of David, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the preserved Roman shopping street, the Wailing Wall and many other sights of Jerusalem are open for tourists.

City of David

This archaeological park is located on the site wich consedered the place of  formation Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This status was given to the city by King David, capturing it in a battle with the Eusebians. Archaeological excavations in these places began a long time ago, but stopped for various reasons. The city of David was literally buried under the mountains of garbage, neglected and abandoned. And only in the second half of the twentieth century, excavations resumed, after which the park was open to tourists. But so far, archaeologists have not stopped working, finding more and more ancient monuments. As part of the excursions, you can explore the ground part of the city and the underground tunnel.

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.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Church of the Resurrection) - the main shrine and place of pilgrimage for all Christians around the world.  It is the place of the convergence of the Holy Fire, were Jesus Christ was crucified,  buried and resurrected. 

Jerusalem

Jerusalem is not only the capital of modern Israel, but also a city which, for many centuries, has been the "center of the world" for Jews, Christians and Muslims.

No other city on the planet can  compare with it, because only Jerusalem has such a rich spiritual and historical attraction.

Шалом! Очень рада, что съездили на экскурсию, всё прошло великолепно! Дорога комфортная, людей из нашего автобуса разделили на мини-группы и экскурсия проходила в группе 11-17 человек, гид Шауль, очень интересный, внимательный, грамотный, рассказ о 6 тысячах лет, провёл логичную цепочку событий, на этом прекрасном кусочке земли. Пошутил, что после экскурсии можем сдавать экзамен по истории. Увиденные места стоят того, чтобы их посмотреть воочию. Прогулка построена очень хорошо, наш путеводитель выбирал для нас местечки в тени, и безлюдные. Было здорово!

Shalom! I’m very glad that we went on the excursion, everything went great! The road is comfortable, the people from our bus were divided into mini-groups and the excursion took place in a group of 11-17 people, the guide Shaul, a very interesting, attentive, competent, story about 6 thousand years, carried out a logical chain of events on this beautiful piece of land. He joked that after the excursion we could take a history exam. The places you see are worth seeing in person. The walk was built very well; our guide chose places for us in the shade and uninhabited. It was great!

Огромное спасибо экскурсоводу Александру, очень душевно и с большой отдачей рассказал историческую часть, а также водителю, за отзывчивость и помощь во всем! Основное замечание компании! Вменени и мест достопримечательности посещении стало меньше! Я не первый раз бываю на этих экскурсиях! Надо больше времени давать как у стены плача и в храме гроба господа! Огромное спасибо экскурсоводам и водителю за работу!

Many thanks to the guide Alexander, who told the historical part very sincerely and with great dedication, as well as to the driver for his responsiveness and help in everything! The main note of the company! There are fewer places to visit and places of interest! This is not the first time I have been on these excursions! We need to give more time both at the Western Wall and in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre! Many thanks to the guides and driver for their work!
