Old and New Jerusalem

We delve into panoramic views of Jerusalem from the top of the Mount of Olives and then descend from the mount passing through the Biblical Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of All Nations, and the Kidron Valley, which houses monumental Jewish tombs. In the Jewish Quarter, we see the Cardo, the main street of the Byzantine Era of Jerusalem. We stop at the Western Wall to place a prayer note among the ancient stones of the wall. The tour continues along part of the Via Dolorosa to the impressive Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Here, we see the site of Christ's crucifixion and his burial tomb. After a break for lunch and a walk through the Old City bazaar, we travel to new Jerusalem. Driving through the modern city, we arrive at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum. The museum's exhibits include authentic artifacts, original documents, photos, and videos of Holocaust survivor testimonies.
