What travellers are saying
- Christopher SFort Collins, CO68 contributionsVery immersing experience complete with open markets. You get to see the mixing of multiple cultures and religions in one place... fascinatingWritten 2 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Christopher SFort Collins, CO68 contributionsWhy would you come to Jerusalem without seeing this iconic sight!! It's super cool and clean also... one of the only places I've been in this city that isn't covered in trash. The wall is a must see, especially on the Sabbath.Written 2 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Angel LazarJerusalem, Israel58 contributionsOrthodox Christians certainly have to visit the Mount of Olives, from where Jesus ascended! There are also a few Orthodox Monasteries & Churches, very important Biblically! The Mount of Olives Hotel makes perfect sense for your stay while there! xo~AWritten 23 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- CimmerianblokeRixensart, Belgium430 contributionsThe Church is the shelter to Christ's crucifixion and burial sites. It protects the Golgotha rock where Jesus was nailed to his cross, died and also the place where he was buried before resuscitating. It has a very spiritual meaning to Christians, and the Middle Eastern vibe of the decorum makes it all the more so special. However, the way the place is administrated (you can read about it in any guidebook) means it's almost dereclit in places. It can also be very crowded and queues to visit the Tomb of Jesus can strech over an hour. Do not hesitate to come back at different hours of the day as the light can change the atmosphere quite drastically.Written 5 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ra Bux11 contributionsThis peaceful, beautifully maintained garden is the perfect place to reflect on Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection.
The Garden Tomb is a place for Christian worship and witness.
Staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable.Written 11 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Christopher SFort Collins, CO68 contributionsWorth a visit on the way up the mount of olives. The garden is well maintained and not trashed which I appreciated. Looks just like you would imagine! There are several can drivers at the entrance that will drive up to the lookout for pretty reasonable amounts. I paid 50 shekels for my group of 3 top to bottom with a short visit at the top for some pictures.Written 3 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- cstayedatcoolspringsWashington DC, DC315 contributionsExcellent experience to walk thru tunnel. We had bright headlamps which helped greatly. We took our time and had a good size group. No rush. Just enjoy the sights.Written 12 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Angel LazarJerusalem, Israel58 contributionsThis just has to be done by foot, carrying a cross from the very Garden of Gethsemane to Calvary and the Tomb of the Holy Sepulchre! This is the single most important part of our pilgrimmage journey!Written 23 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Karen WLong Island, NY12 contributionsUnlike the Arab quarter, there isn't as much shopping but it can be just as confusing to walk around. Although, there are some shops this is more residential than the Arab or Armenian quarters. There are some very interesting old market streets that have been uncovered and on display here.Written 21 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Angel LazarJerusalem, Israel58 contributionsThis is what I've waited for all my life, to visit this! I kept returning every chance I got! This is the holy of holies!Written 23 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Angel LazarJerusalem, Israel58 contributionsThis is a special place to visit whether you be Jewish or Muslim or Christian, as I am! Because the place is holy & awesome! Stunning architecture, as well....Written 23 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Karen WLong Island, NY12 contributionsThis is one of the main entrances to the old city and the Arab shuk. You may be called to buy vendors. If you are looking for souvenirs, you can find them here but be aware that the market continues if you keep walking straight. There are some historical areas here and the entrance to the Ramparts Walk. On the outside of the gate, down the steps, is the Mamilla Mall, also a great, shopping area with fancier type stores and restaurants.Written 21 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Christy MenendezGypsum, CO159 contributionswhere the virgin mary was buried they believe. its beautiful, big, open, calming. a sense of serenity somehow. very much worth seeing. i actually visited March 2018.Written 12 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tommy_Bar11 contributionIt was our second time at the ‪Temple Mount Sifting Project and surely not the last!
Its educating and interesting for adults and little kids alikeWritten 5 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - FredPurdueSeattle, WA2,239 contributionsA holy place, visited by pilgrims such as we were, but this review focuses on the problems of photographing the site. Two primary issues are crowds - which means long waits for access and a short time at the site - and lighting. Regarding the lighting, plan on using high ISOs for exposures. As to the crowds, travel light - good use for a pocket camera - and plan ahead, pre-programming your settings so that you can grab a few pictures. Consider taking pictures while in line or just afterwards. And using flash may not be appropriate.Written 2 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
