Jerusalem Adventure Hike
A 4 hour fun and fascinating hike through valleys and up hills around the Old City.
This unique tour has become one of my most popular. You’ll come out of this tour with a completely new understanding of the history and symbolism of Jerusalem. If you are with kids, they’ll love running free in the open areas outside of the city.
This tour is 4 hours on foot with lots of ups and downs. Not recommended for those with mobility issues
What you’ll see:
Givat HaTanach
Stand in the exact place where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David and the Maccabees stood.
The Mt. Zion Cable Car
Used secretly by the heroes of the War of Independence kept the Jews on Mt. Zion supplied even while they were cut off from West Jerusalem
Ben Hinnom Valley
Gehinnom is named after this valley where there was a Temple to Molech in ancient times. Today it’s a beautiful nature reserve in the middle of the city.
Kever David
For generations scholars have argued about the authenticity of this site. Learn about new evidence that supports the traditional location of Kever David as the actual tomb of King David.
Second Temple Mikvahs
In the time of the Temple Jerusalem had thousands of Mikvahs to serve the locals and pilgrims. Some of them are still intact around the city.
Hulda Gates
See the gates through which our ancestors entered the Temple.
Kidron Valley
