Traveler reviews
Visit of a lifetime.
An unhurried tour of the Temple Mount early before the masses of visitors come up from Ashdod. Many of the shops were still closed. My guide got me into a private office with a view of the Dome and Al Aqsa Mosque. I didn't tour the Dome as my guide was a secular Jew. He would have arranged a Muslim guide if I had asked for it.
Essential.
Another of the must-see places in Jerusalem, although the place is sacred to Muslims and Jews, only the former can pray there, all others can go as visitors, but you cannot enter inside mosques and have strict hours, it is curious to access through a wooden bridge that passes over the Wailing Wall.
Free activity in Jerusalem
When you exit the Lionsgate in Old Jerusalem its not far to the mount of Olives and the Garden of Getsemane located on its slope.
