Jerusalem Tour from Dahab or Sharm El-Sheikh

Discover the Holiest City

Jerusalem’s Old City holds immense significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, making it one of the world’s most prominent pilgrimage destinations. As you explore, you’ll step into the ‘living history’ of a city that has witnessed destruction twice and been captured and recaptured an astonishing 42 times throughout the ages. The soundscape is a symphony of church bells, the call of the muezzin, and the haunting shofar (ram’s horn), while the air is filled with fragrances ranging from church incense to the enchanting aromas of the spice market. This journey offers a sensory and spiritual experience like no other.

Stroll through the city’s ancient streets and behold iconic landmarks such as the Dome of the Rock, Temple Mount, the Western Wall (Wailing Wall), Al-Aqsa Mosque, and culminate your tour with a visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This revered site is where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, buried, and resurrected, making it the holiest location in Christianity.
