Jerusalem from Haifa

About

Tour Description

Our tour guide will meet you outside the reception hall of the Haifa port on the time stated after you have booked your tour and based on your ship’s arrival. We will leave the port and make our way towards Jerusalem.

Our tour in Jerusalem begins with a view at the Mount of Olives overlooking the entire city.

From there we will go and visit the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations, and from there drive through the Valley of Kidron and enter the old city through one of the gates.

We will continue and walk through the Via Dolorosa (Stations of the Cross), and arrive at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Church of Resurrection). We continue to explore the Christian quarter and we will break for lunch at one of the local restaurants.

After lunch, we will head to the Jewish quarter and make our way to the Wailing Wall (Kotel), the holiest site for the Jewish people. Departing the Old City, we will drive by some of the well known buildings, institutions and neighborhoods including the Knesset and the Supreme Court.

Finally, we will head back to the port in time for your departure or for your overnight stay.
