Visit the holiest place for the Jewish people, the "Kotel"- the Western Wall known as the Wailing Wall, where we can write a wish on a piece of paper and stick it in the cracks of the wall.

Overlook of the area where the Temple Mount is. Continue to the Christian quarter to visit the holiest place in the world –the Church of the Holy Sepulcher –where we'll visit the last station of the cross of the Via Dolorosa.

On to the Muslim quarter to see one of the holiest places to the Muslim people –the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque and learn about the Islamic history of those sites.
