The Old City of Jerusalem holds the origin story of the three Abrahamic Faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll get to know the rich history of the city that’s become sanctified in the eyes of over two billion followers worldwide.
The tour starts at Jaffa Gate, one of the open gates in the Old City walls. From there, you’ll make your way to the Armenian Quarter via the Tower of David museum, where you’ll find out who built the tower (it’s not King David!). As you wander through the Jewish Quarter, you’ll learn about its redevelopment following the Six-Day War of 1967. You’ll see the Old Yishuv Court Museum and the Hurva Synagogue, and I’ll tell you how the Jews were expelled from the city, returning en masse two thousand years later.
