Jerusalem
The heart of global faith and the historical coexistence of three religions

In its four quarters (Jewish, Armenian, Muslim, and Christian), you will experience the coexistence of religions in every stone. Discover every aspect of the site’s historical wealth with a visit to its renowned museums such as the Israel Museum, the Archaeological Park, the Bible Lands Museum, and the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum, all of which impress every visitor with their rich variety of exhibits, offering an unforgettable cultural experience. Jerusalem is an experience of the soul, historical knowledge, and identity.
Highlights
Citadel (Tower of David)
The Citadel (Tower of David) actually has no connection to David, as it was erected by King Herod to protect the palace he built around 24 BC. It was successively reconstructed by the Crusaders and the Turks of Egypt during their reign in Jerusalem.
Old City
The Old City houses many of Jerusalem's most sought-after attractions. The Old City includes four distinct quarters: the Jewish, the Muslim, the Christian, and the Armenian. Each quarter exudes its own unique atmosphere, with religious sites and shops.
Western Wall
The Western Wall is the surviving wall of the First Temple of Jerusalem. It is called the Wailing Wall due to the people's laments over the loss of the temple in 70 AD; today, it is the holiest site in Judaism and has been a place of pilgrimage for the Jewish people since the Ottoman era.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
For Christians, it is the holiest site in Jerusalem and is said to be built on the site where Jesus was crucified. The original church (built in 335 AD) was destroyed in 1009, and the large church standing today dates back to the 11th century. The interior of the church is an exceptional example of religious architecture.
