Experience It! Jerusalem's Old City: A Confluence of Faiths

Enter its sacred gates and meander its labyrinth of winding cobblestone streets

densely packed in an area covering less than one square mile. In spite of its

diminutive size, the walled Old City is of great symbolic importance for Judaism,

Christianity and Islam. Your journey with Collette includes venerable locations

which have existed for thirty centuries. Walk along the Via Dolorosa or Way of

Sorrows to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site of Jesus Christ’s

crucifixion, burial and resurrection. Observe the solemnity of the Western Wall,

the only surviving remnant of Judaism’s most sacred shrine, the Temple Mount;

and gaze in awe at one of the world’s great architectural masterpieces, the Dome

of the Rock. To the Muslims it is where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to

heaven.
