Visit Israel for its religious significance and its historical heritage that is testament to early Christian times. A spiritual city where three major monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam each have religious sites based there.

Passing through alleyways, lined with bazaars and cafes you will arrive at the Armenian Orthodox and Polish Catholic Churches, the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Charalampus. The iconic Temple Mount, the Wailing Wall and the Tower of David are only a few steps away.
