Tours In Jerusalem By Yoav Hasson

The history of Jerusalem literally goes back to time immemorial

, and we only have the written word as reference to what actually went on here back in BC and AD. This history, along with the sheer enormity of the tales we are told have made this high on many peoples wish lists of places they want to visit in their lifetimes. Whether you are religious or not, Jerusalem intrigues all of us and visiting it is a unique experience for all.

Those interested in History will feel like they have reached Utopia when they visit Jerusalem, which was the venue of, amongst many other major historical events, Crusades in Medieval times. Whether you choose to book your tour through a travel agent, or choose a specialist tour operator such as Yoav Hasson, you will have the choice of encompassing both the new and old cities of Jerusalem, and what a trip you will have.

There are three broad categories of Jerusalem tour which take into consideration the three main Abrahamic religions; the Jewish Jerusalem tours, the Christian Jerusalem tours and the Islam Jerusalem tours. It's absolutely fascinating when you think about how one city can be considered to be of such holy importance by the followers of such three influential and worldwide religions.

The Wailing Wall, Temple Mount and Yad Vashem are the most important sites for the Jewish quarter. Those followers of Islam also revere Temple Mount, as well as the Al-Asque Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. A holy place shared by the Islamic followers as well as Christians is the Chapel of the Ascension. Other places sacred to Christians are the Tomb of the Virgin Mary, The Church of the Sepulchre and the Last Supper room.

The city of Jerusalem is split into two areas, the new city and the old city. Tourists will get the chance to experience the unique now and then experiences of the two sections. While many cities across the world have similar new and old areas, there are none quite as contrasting as Jerusalem.

Check with your tour operators to ensure you are dressed appropriately for the sites included in their itinerary. Some have particularly stringent dress codes and won't allow you to join the tour if you are wearing shorts or tops that have no sleeves. Head coverings are mandatory for religious sites, so make sure you have a scarf with you.

While, for obvious reasons, the majority of Jerusalem tours have religious connotations, there are tours available for those who are interested in the non religious history of the city. These will generally touch on areas of the old city but without all the religious commentary that are synonymous with these types of tours.
