Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and Palestine and its largest city in both population and area. It is one of the oldest cities in the world with literature on it dating back 3000 years. Reflecting both its wonderful charm and a cause of much conflict, Jerusalem is holy to the three main monotheistic religions of the world - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The “Old City” of Jerusalem is less than 1 km2, and is home to various sites of key religious importance, among them the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Israeli Flag Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque. Whatever your views, even a short visit to this city is, without doubt, a most moving and spiritual experience.
