You don’t have to travel to Petra to see impressive rock-hewn structures. Right here in the Kidron Valley, at the foot of the Mount of Olives, you can find massive stone formations that have been extraordinarily well-preserved, even by international standards.
Absalom’s Pillar, remarkable in both its size and unique shape, sits beside the Tomb of Bnei Hezir and the Tomb of Zechariah.
The Kidron Valley is a beautiful and picturesque place, full of lush vegetation which changes colors according to the season. It is possible to walk from the valley to a variety of City of David sites, making it the perfect location for a morning picnic before visiting the City of David.
Access to the Kidron Valley by private vehicle or public transportation is possible up to the Information Center on the Mount of Olives. From there, you can descend the stairs located to the right of the Information Center to reach the Kidron Valley.
Organized parking is available by the Information Center at Derech Yericho 5, Jerusalem
