Then, you'll feel the atmosphere as you view the Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of All Nations, and the Kidron Valley with its ancient Jewish burial tombs.

Witness the transformation of the excavated Crusader shops, and stop at the Kotel, the Western Wall where Jews have prayed since the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE.
