The thematic tour "Roofs and Walls of Jerusalem"

Do you know what the Old City looks like from the highest point of Jerusalem? Have you ever seen the holy sites of Mount Zion from above, where the birds rule the sky?

We invite you to witness the city without a top or a bottom, to reach for the stars, and to stroll along the city walls.

We will talk about the creation of the city and the sanctity it holds for three religions from the rooftop of one of the hotels in the Old City. This is one of the highest points in Jerusalem, offering a magnificent panorama of the Old City.

We will ascend to the rooftop of the Upper Room and see the major holy sites of Mount Zion, the separation barrier, and the road of Abraham to Mount Moriah.

We will walk along a fragment of the 16th-century city wall and immerse ourselves in the history of that time.

We will visit the Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, and explore the Jewish Quarter.

On the rooftop above the Arab market, we will listen to the story of the coming of the Messiah.

In the Christian Quarter, we will climb the tallest bell tower. The Church of the Savior. From there, Jerusalem will unfold before us like the palm of our hand!

This journey will spin your head and give you the opportunity to feel like Carlson, walking on the rooftops of Jerusalem.

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.

David Tower

Tower of David

The inner fortress, located near the Jaffa Gate, can be considered a concise biography of Jerusalem. In the Tower of David, or simply the Citadel, a history museum of this city was opened 30 years ago (in 1989). It encompasses the period from the Canaanite era to the present day, allowing visitors to learn about the entire history of Jerusalem.

Be sure to enter the inner courtyard. The arches have witnessed the presence of Crusaders, and the archaeological artifacts collected by scholars span 14 centuries of the city's history, from the 2nd century BCE to the 12th century CE.

After exploring the exhibitions, ascend to the fortress walls. They preserve the same essence as the museum: ancient and modern Jerusalem. From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Old City and its newer part.
