Day 2: Jerusalem Old City
Today, you will discover the variety of cultures, customs, tastes, and smells of the Old City in Jerusalem.
Discover who really owns the Church of the Holy Sepulchre: what is the story behind the maps hanging on the walls of the Armenian quarter; why is there an Austrian enclave in the center of the Muslim quarter; and learn about the 'third dome' of the recent renovated synagogue in the Jewish quarter. We will visit also the Western Wall. As you will see, every area has a unique history, secrets, architecture, cuisine, and atmosphere.
Visit the Oriental Bazaar and buy yourself and your family a souvenir.
Return to the hotel and freshen up.
Eat dinner with former soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF is a huge part of Israeli culture and influences our colloquial language, our jokes, folklore, food habits, and much more!
