The show includes simultaneous translation with the use of earphones in a number of languages: English, Spanish, French, Russian, and Chinese.

Testimonials

Loved the show and surroundings. The show tells you the history of Jerusalem. In fact, I could have watched more. While the show is predicated on not having narration, narration would probably enhance the experience. Definitely recommend if you have a family, are looking for an evening experience and don’t want to break the bank.

We got tickets but had some worries this show would be shallow and a bit hokey. No worries, it was amazing! The “screen” is actually parts of this historic city. And the show uses not just one wall, but the entire area for a fantastic visual impact. Very well done, glad we went.

A show about the history of Israel was fantastic. Every wall of the stunning runs of King David’s City told a story in spectacular lights and special effects. Absolutely loved this one!
