The Old City of Jerusalem is one of the most special places on Earth! At the heart of the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religions, this one-kilometer area in the center of Jerusalem is beyond words and cannot be missed. The Old City is home to the Western Wall (aka Wailing Wall and in Hebrew Kotel). This is the last remaining wall of what was once the Jewish Temple. It is today the holiest site in the world for Jews.
Above the Western Wall lies the Dome of the Rock, which is important for Muslims as the site where the prophet Muhammad was thought to rise to heaven. Just a few minutes’ walk away lies the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is where some believe Jesus was crucified and buried.
Jerusalem is the religious and historical epicenter of the world. A surreal and vibrant city, Jerusalem is holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians - over one-third of all the people on the earth. The ancient place is as unique as she is special. Beyond her religious and historic significance, Jerusalem is the capital of modern-day Israel and an advanced, dynamic city. The intricacies and beautiful contradictions - ancient and developed, religious and secular - that make up Jerusalem have to be seen to be believed.

Exploring Jerusalem solo is fantastic, and if it’s your first time visiting this glorious place, a tour of Jerusalem is a must.
THE OLD CITY
jerusalem
The Old City of Jerusalem is full of the historic and religious elements that make this city so special. The one-square-kilometer walled area is central to Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The Western Wall in the Jewish Quarter is the last remaining wall of the Jewish Temple compound, and is the holiest site in Judaism. Jesus died, was buried and resurrected in Jerusalem. The Church of the Sepulchre in the Old City is shared between many denominations, with hundreds of thousands of Christian pilgrims coming to see the incredible site. In Islam, Jerusalem is said to be from where Muhammad rose into the heavens. The Dome of the Rock makes this city the third holiest for Muslims.
There are four quarters in the Old City: Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Armenian. Each contrasts with each other, yet what remains bizarrely constant is the way in which the residents of this surreal place rush about on their daily business. As one of the most sought after places in the world, the Old City of Jerusalem is a must see for anyone visiting Israel and the Middle East.

The word Zion occurs over 150 times in the Bible. It essentially means “fortification” and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.” Zion is described both as the city of David and the city of God. As the Bible progresses, the word Zion expands in scope and takes on an additional, spiritual meaning.The word Zion is also used in a theological or spiritual sense in Scripture. In the Old Testament Zion refers figuratively to Israel as the people of God (Isaiah 60:14). In the New Testament, Zion refers to God’s spiritual kingdom. We have not come to Mount Sinai, says the apostle, but “to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22). Peter, quoting Isaiah 28:16, refers to Christ as the Cornerstone of Zion: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame” (1 Peter 2:6).
