The City of David National Park opens a window 2,000 years back in time, to the hidden world beside the massive stones of the Western Wall.
We will explore the story of Jerusalem from the period of the Return to Zion in the days of the Second Temple, when the city became one of the most beautiful cities in the East. The tour continues through an underground tunnel that is part of the Pilgrimage Road excavations, leading toward the Western Wall, where we will walk along the central street of ancient Jerusalem.
As part of the tour, you will watch a fascinating 3D presentation revealing the story of the conquest of Jerusalem by David’s men and illustrating dramatic events from the period of the United Monarchy through the Babylonian conquest.
The route ends with an exit from the foundations of the Western Wall, right beside the two-thousand-year-old stones.
