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.

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. 

Herodium

Herod the Great built this fortress with grandeur. He ruled over Judea from 37 to 4 BCE, and this place served not only as a stronghold but also as a summer palace for the monarch and a "capital" of the district. Later, it became the final resting place of the king and his monument. Herod the Great was a prolific builder, but only Herodium bears his name in its title.

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.

Получили огромное удовольствие от поездки благодаря великолепному экскурсоводу Алексею Миллеру и водителю Алексею. Отличный тайм-менеджмент (побывали в Иерусалиме практически "в одиночестве" до волны туристов) и блестящее знание всех мест и интереснейших историй с ними связанных. Спасибо!

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip thanks to the excellent guide Alexey Miller and driver Alexey. Excellent time management (we visited Jerusalem almost “alone” before the wave of tourists) and brilliant knowledge of all the places and the most interesting stories associated with them. Thank you!
