Mount of Olives Walking Tour

At the appointed time we'll meet at the Jaffa Gate. From there we'll travel by bus to the Mount of Olives, a symbol of Jerusalem. We will first stop at the foot of the Mount to visit the Jewish cemetery, which is considered to be one of the oldest cemeteries in the world. Afterward, we will climb to the top of the Mount of Olives to enjoy the panoramic views of Jerusalem and learn about its significance for Christians. We will continue our tour around the Mount, visiting the Chapel of the Ascension and the Church of Dominus Flevit.

The next stop will be the garden of Gethsemane, where, according to the New Testament, Jesus prayed before his arrest. Then, we will proceed to the tomb of the Virgin Mary, another significant site at the foot of the Mount of Olives.

Finally, after a three-hour tour, we will conclude our visit to the Mount of Olives at the Lions' Gate.
