You will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, The Western Wall and the Temple Mount/Golden Dome of The Rock, no other day tour from Tel Aviv visits the Temple Mount (not possible on Fridays, Saturdays and religious holydays).

This is NOT a pilgrimage tour, we do visit the holy sites, but do not stand in line to enter the Tomb of Jesus or Golgotha. Your amazing guide will guide you from an historic perspective, not from one of the holy books.
