The ultimate Jerusalem travel experience. Pulsing with cultural diversity, this 5000 year old city is frequented by millions of travelers annually. Yerushalayim (as it is known in Hebrew) draws each and every visitor into an experience of intense spirituality.<\/strong> ‘Jerusalem of Gold’\u00a0 is considered holy by the three major religions – Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The city offers an experience unlike any other in the world. It also happens to be the capital of Israel.<\/p>\n When in Yerushaliyam – you can visit:<\/strong><\/p>\n Visiting the city, especially for the first time, can be a very overwhelming emotional experience. I clearly remember my first visit as a 16 year old on summer camp from Britain. Our group planned to spend the Jewish holiday of Passover<\/a> in the old city. As it is traditional to read the Haggadah<\/a> Jewish prayer book and pray for the ‘next year in Jerusalem’, you can imagine my anticipation was great. To this day I still remember how I felt walking around the old city; It was as though I had been transported back in time 3000 years as I wandered the stony alleyways and streets. One of the unique characteristics of this city is the architecture and use of Jerusalem stone. You will notice that all the buildings in the city have a similar look as they are all built from the same local stone – from the Western Wall<\/a> built 3000 years ago to today’s modern buildings. I would definitely recommend hiring one of our preferred tour guides<\/a>\u00a0to show you around the city. <\/p>\n Jerusalem travel – This holy city also attracts many Jews from around the world who come to the Western Wall to celebrate the coming of age of their sons and daughters at\u00a0the Bar\/Bat Mizvah <\/a>ceremony. Particularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you can visit the Kotel<\/a> and see families celebrating this traditional and meaningful occasion. As a traveler to the Israeli capital, no amount of time you plan will ever be enough. There is so much to see and do and so much to learn historically. I do suggest you plan carefully to get the most out of your time in the city. Top recommendation<\/strong>:<\/span>\u00a0I strongly recommend you check out Things to Do in Jerusalem<\/a> with the best one two and 8 day private and group guided tours available. If you spend more than a day in the city, check out my recommendations for Jerusalem\u00a0hotels<\/a> in the capital.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Take your time around Alquds (as the city is called in Arabic) if you can. There is so much to take in historically. If you have the time, visit and wander around the old neighborhoods:<\/p>\nJerusalem of Gold<\/h2>\n
