Join us on a special journey back in time, to the ancient days when Jerusalem was renown across the world for its grandeur. Stand under the remnants of the magnificent Robinson's Arch, and visit the ruins of the shops that stood on the side of the road, as the ritual baths used by the pilgrims going up to the Temple are revealed before your eyes. On the journey you will travel along the wide steps King Herod built that led to the Temple Plaza, and see the remains of the Umayyad palaces that were erected in all their glory several centuries later, as well as the impressive Byzantine rooms that stand till today.
