2018 Oct 12. Jerusalem with Camel

Jerusalem without a break

In mid-October, I prepared another walk - a marathon around Jerusalem. This will be the most intense route from those that I spend in the holy city. The walk will be with the option of spending the night on the roof of the hostel Citadel. The roof is located in the heart of the old city. It can accommodate up to 40 people. For us, this will be a unique opportunity to spend the night and meet the dawn in the heart of Jerusalem.
Overnight on the roof of the hostel will cost 50 per person. It will be possible to spend the night from Friday to Saturday or from Saturday to Sunday. I will need to pre-book a place. Closer to the date of the event, I will ask the participants and reserve. You can also just arrive in the morning at the starting point of the route.

Unlike past “marathons” in Jerusalem, it will be possible to choose one of 3 days. Similar walks will be held on Friday and Saturday.
The most interesting and the route will be on Sunday morning. On this day, you can climb the Temple Mount. For those who wish, there will also be night routes around Jerusalem. On Friday, I plan to negotiate with the Hasidim. If we succeed, we will visit Saturday Tish and Mea Shearim. On Saturday, visit the Hasidic family.

On Friday and Saturday, the walk starts at 8:00 near the Garden of Gethsemane. In the morning we will visit the Ethiopian street in Jerusalem and several secret churches in the Christian quarter. Then we will continue to the Tsidkiyakhu quarry under the old town, the Basilica of St. Stephen and the Armenian Balyan ceramic workshops. We also climb to the observation platforms and roofs of the old city. The program is scheduled to attend the Ethiopian church, the Schmidt school and the department of St. George.

The route includes several paid objects:
1) Zedekiah Cave, 15 Shah
2) Those who want to be able to climb the bell tower of the Church of Christ the Redeemer, 15 Shah
3) The roof of the Ethiopian church, 10 shah
