The Mount of Olives is a site of profound significance, offering stunning panoramic views of the Old City of Jerusalem. Revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims, it is home to a variety of important religious landmarks. The ancient Jewish cemeteries on its slopes are a testament to the enduring connection of the Jewish people to this sacred site. The Church of All Nations, located at the foot of the mountain, commemorates Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed before his arrest. This garden, with its ancient olive trees, remains a place of reflection and pilgrimage for many. The Mount of Olives serves as a historical and spiritual crossroads, making it an essential destination for visitors seeking to understand the deep religious and cultural heritage of Jerusalem.

Mount of Olives

The Mount of Olives offers stunning views of Jerusalem and key religious sites, including Jewish cemeteries and the Church of All Nations.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of Christianity’s holiest sites, located in Jerusalem’s Old City. Believed to be the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, the church attracts millions of pilgrims and tourists each year. Its intricate architecture features several chapels and shrines, each significant to different Christian denominations. Visitors can experience the profound spiritual atmosphere as they reflect on the events of the Passion, making it a pivotal destination for those seeking a deeper connection to their faith.
Highlights of a visit include the first century exterior façade of the Church built by the Crusaders, the Stone of Unction, there to commemorate the preparation of Jesus’ body for burial, and behind this a mosaic depicting the scene. The Rotunda features surviving 4th century columns, and marks the site of Christ’s tomb, an area that is now surmounted by a large dome. 



Church of the Holy Sepulchre

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s Old City is one of Christianity’s holiest sites, believed to be the location of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.

When visiting Israel, the Armenian Quarter is generally included on a tour. It covers a sixth of the area contained within the Old Walls. Some Christians believe it is the site of Mount Zion and one of the gates of the Old City to the southern end of the quarter is called Zion Gate. A large section of the Armenian Quarter is occupied by an Armenian Monastery, while there are also a number of churches situated here belonging to various Christian denominations which is why many Christian tours to Israel include this in the itinerary. The Syrian Orthodox church of St Marks is of particular interest and visitors are recommended to take in the spectacular views from the top of the Maronite Patriarchate. The Cathedral of St James is the largest Armenian Church in Israel.

The Armenian Museum is housed within a former Armenian Theological Seminary. The collections include archeological artifacts relating to the Armenian presence in Jerusalem including mosaic pavements and 1st century frescoes. The Gulbenkain Library contains rare manuscripts as does nearby St Toros Church.



Armenian Quarter

The Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City is home to key Christian sites, including the Armenian Monastery, St. Mark’s Church, and St. James Cathedral.

The Via Dolorosa, or “Way of Suffering”, is a path in the Old City of Jerusalem believed to trace the route Jesus took on the way to his crucifixion. Pilgrims and tourists walk this historic path, marked by the Stations of the Cross, which commemorate significant events from Jesus’ final hours. Along the route, visitors can explore various religious sites, including churches and chapels, each holding deep historical and spiritual meaning. The Via Dolorosa offers a unique opportunity for reflection and understanding of the events that shaped Christianity.
The traditional route

The traditional route starts just inside Lion’s Gate, or St Stephan’s Gate, close to the location of the former Antonia Fortress. The first and second stations commemorate Jesus’s encounter with Pontius Pilate where there are three churches, the Church of the Condemnation and Imposition of the Cross, Church of the Flagellation and Church of Ecco Homo. Next to the Church of the Ecco Homo is an arch built by Hadrian. Subsequent stations are said to represent the times Jesus stumbled on his way to the place of crucifixion. The first fall is represented by the third station where the Polish Catholic Chapel resides. The second fall is represented by the seventh station at a crossroads, adjacent to the Franciscan chapel, while the third fall is the ninth station located at the entrance to the Ethiopian Orthodox Monastery.

Other stations

Other stations of note include the point at which Jesus met his mother Mary, a station commemorating the place where Jesus met Veronica and a station where Jesus was said to have met with pious women.

Each Friday a Roman Catholic procession walks the route, headed by Franciscan monks, while there are also frequent re-enactments en-route, some of which are more professional than others. Israel tour operators will be able to identify the best days to visit.

Via Dolorosa

The Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem’s Old City is the historic path believed to trace Jesus' route to his crucifixion, marked by the Stations of the Cross and significant religious sites.

A Jerusalem tour simply wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Jewish Quarter in the Old City. The walled Old City is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with the Jewish quarter situated to the southeast corner. In 1948, the Old City was occupied by Jordon and most of the ancient buildings were destroyed. In 1967, however, when Israel regained control of the Old City, the remains were excavated and buildings reconstructed.

The Hurva Synagogue which dominated the skyline prior to its destruction in 1948 was not initially rebuilt because of disagreements. Instead, a commemorative arch was erected here and it was only in 2000 that work finally began on the reconstruction of the building - which was opened to the public in 2010. The Western Wall is located in the Jewish quarter, the remains of a temple wall built in the times of Herod. The Burnt House is the site of the remains of a house burnt down by the Romans in 70 AD. The house is also known as Katros House because of the inscription ‘bar katros’ which was discovered on weights in the house. The Cardo, or ‘Cardo Maximus’ is a Roman-Byzantine street featuring colonnades dating back to the sixth century AD. The Broad Wall is what remains of the thick city walls erected by Hizkiah at the time when the first temple existed, and visitors can see 45 meters of wall on display here.

The City of David
The City of David, named after King David, is the oldest settlement in Jerusalem. King David established the city 3000 years ago, in order to unify the tribes of Israel, and his son, Solomon, built the First Temple on the northern border. The area is home to many archeological sites of interest including an intact underground water system.



The Old City Jewish Quarter

The Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City, located in the southeast, was rebuilt after its destruction in 1948 and offers a glimpse into the city’s rich history following its restoration in 1967.

The Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, is renowned for its hyper-saline waters and mineral-rich therapeutic mud. Visitors come to float effortlessly on its surface, buoyed by the dense salt concentration, which creates a unique and relaxing experience. The minerals in the water and mud are known for their healing and rejuvenating properties, often used in skincare treatments that soothe and refresh the body. Surrounded by the breathtaking desert landscapes of the Judean Desert, the Dead Sea offers a tranquil escape for those seeking relaxation, wellness, and natural beauty.

Masada, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an iconic symbol of Jewish resistance perched on a plateau above the Dead Sea. Built by King Herod, this ancient fortress was the final stronghold of Jewish rebels against the Romans in 73 CE. Visitors can hike the Snake Path or take a cable car to explore its ruins, including Herod’s palaces and storerooms. With stunning views and deep historical significance, Masada offers a powerful glimpse into resilience and history.

The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall or Kotel, is one of Judaism’s most sacred sites, located in Jerusalem's Old City. It is the last remnant of the Second Temple, built by King Herod in 20 BC, and symbolizes Jewish resilience and spirituality. Visitors come to pray, leave written prayers in its ancient stones, and connect with Jewish heritage. The site now welcomes thousands of worshipers.
