You can choose from a wide range of handcrafted accessories, clothing, designer jewelry, and bags at the various stalls. Unique works of art, interesting gifts for holidays and celebrations, and original vintage items for collectors are also available.
All Year Round…
The activities we covered are seasonal, but Jerusalem always has something going on, and these activities don’t even begin to cover the main sites. The Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the City of David are just a few of the attractions that can be visited. You won’t know where to start when you see the bustling markets and tempting foods! How do you prioritize the things that matter most to you when you have so much to see and so little time?
When you are a first-time visitor, it may be challenging to reach all of the must-see attractions. Jerusalem tours enable you to fully appreciate what you see while also allowing you to explore the city in the way that best suits your interests. You don’t have to worry about missing out on any of the sights you want to see. We have wonderful options for guided Israel tours, but our three-day Jerusalem tours are ideal for experiencing Jerusalem to its fullest: either classical Jerusalem or Christian Jerusalem.
This winter season, there is more to see than ever before. Our Israel day tours show you the best of what this country has to offer.
