We offer you a sightseeing tour of sacred places, during which you can see all the main historical monuments, sacred to many believers. The tour starts with a visit to the observation deck on the top of the Mount of Olives. The stunning view will leave you unforgettable impressions - you will feel like a part of something great. You will see the panorama of the Old City, the dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, as well as the Muslim mosque “Dome of the Rock” and “Al-Aqsa,” located on the territory of the majestic Temple Mount.
After the observation deck, the group goes to the base of the western slope of the Mount of Olives. You will visit the famous Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus Christ’s Agony in the Garden took place on the last night before he was taken into custody. In the Church of All Nations, each visitor will be immersed in a mysterious blue twilight, which serves as a reminder of the night when Christ was arrested. The altar of the church keeps a stone, near which Jesus performed the Agony. In this sacred place, visitors should remain silent and are allowed to photograph the shrine.
After visiting the Church of All Nations, we head to the cave Christian Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Mary, where the Tomb of the Virgin Mary is located. Near the altar, everyone can come up to kiss the miraculous image of the Mother of God of Jerusalem. Then, we head to the Western Wall, the Cenacle, and Mount Zion, where King David is buried in a massive stone sarcophagus, hung with a thick cloth with the symbolics of the prophet. At the Western Wall, you can leave a note with your most intimate desire and explore the central street of the Old City of Jerusalem called Cardo in the Jewish quarter.
Being in Jerusalem will allow everyone to feel a part of magnificent history, see how the three largest religions were born, and get many impressions for the rest of their lives. Touch the origins and feel how faith was born!
