Jerusalem four quarters tour
The Old City of Jerusalem is made up of four quarters, the Jewish Quarter, the Armenian Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, and the Christian Quarter.
Starting the tour at the famous Jaffa Gate, we will take you through a journey of different faiths and cultures co-existing in one enclosed square kilometer and the complex social makeup that makes it unique.
Our first stop will be the Christian Quarter. Our route takes us through the colorful Christian market and from there the tour will make its way to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This 1000-year-old Crusaders Church stands on top of an older Byzantine Church and is where Jesus is recognized to have been crucified and resurrected back to life.
From here we will make our way into the Muslim Quarter to experience their famous spices market. We will experience some of the Islamic cultures, art, and food they have to offer and then make our way into the Jewish Quarter. We will make a stop to visit the Western Wall, a holy site of prayer where many different sects of the Jewish faith gather, providing a true introspective experience into their practices and beliefs.
Our final stop is the Armenian Quarter, while it is the smallest, this quarter is said to be the oldest living Armenia diaspora community. Finally, we will return to the Jaffa Gate for the end of the tour.
