Soul Cleansing. Witnessing the Sanctities of Jerusalem before the Great Day of Atonement.
Yom Kippur is a day of Redemption and Forgiveness. According to Jewish tradition, on Yom Kippur, the Almighty weighs all of a person's deeds from the past year and renders a final verdict, determining their fate for the next year. Although Yom Kippur is a solemn fast that lasts a little over 24 hours and is observed by all Jews, it is considered one of the most important, solemn, and luminous holidays in Judaism. Yom Kippur is a day of repentance, prayer, purification, and the forgiveness of sins—a day of complete unity between the Creator and the Jewish people.
Even for those who do not adhere to religious beliefs, the approach to this day prompts reflection on one's life and whether they are living it correctly. One desires to visit the Western Wall with its extraordinary energy and contemplate the most intimate aspects of existence.
You will have the opportunity to do so on our excursion through Jerusalem, which will take place in anticipation of Yom Kippur. You will witness an extraordinary nighttime spectacle at the Tower of David, the burial site of King David. You will walk through the old Jewish quarter and the tour will culminate at the Western Wall, where everyone can pray for what matters most to them. We believe that all prayers addressed to God at the Western Wall are surely answered.

Attractions
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.
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.
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.
