Temple Mount

Haram Al-Sharif – A Sacred and Iconic Site Follow in the footsteps of centuries of pilgrims at Haram Al-Sharif, one of the holiest sanctuaries on Earth. Revered by both Jews and Muslims, this site is historically significant as the place where Abraham is said to have offered his son as a sacrifice, where Solomon built the First Temple for the Ark of the Covenant, and where the Prophet Muhammad is believed to have ascended to heaven during the early years of Islam. The wide plaza above the Old City is dominated by the glittering Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem’s most iconic landmark. Beneath its golden dome lies the sacred stone revered by both faiths. On the southern side of the plaza stands the Al-Aqsa Mosque, first established in 705 CE, making it one of the oldest mosques in the world. Haram Al-Sharif is a place of profound spiritual significance and a must-visit for those seeking to understand Jerusalem’s religious and historical heritage.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre – Jerusalem’s Holiest Christian Site For Christian pilgrims, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is Jerusalem’s most sacred site, believed to be built on the location where Jesus was crucified. The site was identified by Saint Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, during her tour of the Holy Land, and she declared it to the Byzantine world as Calvary (Golgotha). The original church, built in 335 CE, was destroyed in 1009, and the grand structure seen today dates from the 11th century. Though often bustling with pilgrims, the church interior is a magnificent example of religious architecture, housing various holy relics. It marks the end of the Via Dolorosa pilgrimage, with the last five Stations of the Cross located inside the church. The interior is shared among different Christian denominations, each maintaining specific quarters within the church.

The Way of the Cross - Via Dolorosa

Via Dolorosa – The Way of Sorrow For many Christian visitors, the Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrow) is the highlight of a visit to Jerusalem. This historic route traces Jesus Christ’s path after his condemnation, as he carried the cross toward his crucifixion at Calvary. The walk is marked by fourteen Stations of the Cross, some based on Gospel accounts and others on tradition. The route begins on Via Dolorosa Street (1st Station, east of Al-Wad Street), then proceeds west, south onto Al-Wad Street, and west again onto Via Dolorosa Street through eight stations, culminating at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which houses the final five stations. Visitors can follow the route independently, or on Fridays, join the traditional procession led by the Italian Franciscan monks. This spiritual journey offers a profound connection to Jerusalem’s Christian heritage.

Mount Zion – A Hill of Spiritual Significance Mount Zion, the small hill just south of Jerusalem’s Zion Gate, is home to Jewish and Muslim shrines as well as several historic churches. Since the Byzantine era, it has been revered by Christians as the site where Jesus celebrated the Last Supper and, according to some traditions, where the Virgin Mary spent her final years. For Jews, Mount Zion holds special significance as the location of King David’s Tomb. From the tomb’s courtyard, visitors can climb the stairs to the Last Supper Room, which has historically served as both a church and mosque. Nearby, the Church of the Dormition marks where the Virgin Mary is believed to have died, while the Church of St. Peter of Gallicantu, just east of the site, commemorates where Peter denied Jesus.

Old City of Jerusalem

Jerusalem Old City Walls & Gates The Old City fortifications of Jerusalem date back to the Ottoman period, featuring nine magnificent gates that provide access to different quarters of the city.

For Christians, it is the site of the Church of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born, attracting pilgrims from around the world, especially during Christmas. At the northern entrance of Bethlehem lies Rachel’s Tomb, a sacred site for Jewish visitors.
