Jerusalem: A Total Experience
The sound of church bells ringing, the call to prayer from the Muezzin, or the soft whispers of Jewish prayers at the Western Wall — these are part of the magical atmosphere of Jerusalem, a city that is 3,000 years old. Add to that the scents of oriental spices, incense, and local food as you walk through narrow streets or along the Via Dolorosa, passing through different quarters. Armenian, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish — why is the city divided this way? Who built Jerusalem? From the Kings of Judah to modern-day Israel, you’ll uncover layers of history, with remnants from diverse peoples forming a unique cultural mosaic. Here, history, archaeology, human life, and spirituality blend into a single, unforgettable experience.
