The experience

You're picked up from your Amman hotel or the Dead Sea in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle and driven across the border with your driver handling the logistics. An English-speaking Jerusalem guide meets you in the Old City and walks you through the stops at your own pace, starting at the Mount of Olives: a sacred hill overlooking the entire Old City where you'll see the Church of the Ascension, Dominus Flevit, and the Russian Church of Mary Magdalene with its distinctive onion dome. From there you descend into the Old City itself.

The route takes you through the Via Dolorosa, the 14 Stations of the Cross that trace the path Jesus walked toward Calvary, and ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre: the holiest site in Christianity, believed to mark where Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. The church dates to the 11th century and holds the final five stations inside its walls. You'll also visit the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock, one of the world's most sacred places revered in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and climb to the rooftop of the Tower of David Museum for panoramic views of the Old City walls and gates. Mount Zion, with its Last Supper Room and Church of the Dormition, rounds out the spiritual core of the day.

Entry fees to all sites are included, as are bottled water and onboard Wi-Fi during the drive. The 11- to 12-hour day is structured but flexible: your guide adjusts the rhythm to how you want to move through each place. A Jordan Pass must be obtained before your travel date.
