Jerusalem from Old to New - a hidden corner of the city
Tour description
Are you looking to discover more of Jerusalem than the Old City? Interested in learning about how the Old City turned into modern day Jerusalem? On this tour, we will see a lesser known corner of Jerusalem, and we will learn about the transition from Old Jerusalem to New Jerusalem, see one of the most important archaeological sites in the country (that most people don't even know exists!), and hear about the 19 years that Jerusalem was divided between 1948 and 1967.
We will see the following places:
Mt. Zion: the Room of the Last Supper and King David's Tomb

The tour will end on David Remez street, in walking distance of the center of town, and easy access public transportation.
