Old City of JerusalemThe first step of the tour brings us to the Old City where you will receive a detailed briefing, learning about one hundred years of history from the late Ottoman period to the present time. You will also get a brief introduction to Israeli occupation and settlement efforts in the Old City and the nearby Holy Basin. The morning tour will focus on the centrality of the Old City of Jerusalem to the three monotheistic religions while we explore some of the visible icons of the Israeli Occupation including Jewish settlements in the Christian Quarter and Muslim Quarter, with discussion of their history and implications.
-
Western WallThen we'll take a walking tour of the Old City, entering at Damascus Gate through the bustling markets and learning about the division of the city while also visiting some of the sites. We visit the Western Wall Plaza in the core of the Old City which was created over the site of the destroyed Mugrabe neighborhood in the aftermath of the 1967 war. You will also learn about the Temple Mount's and Al Aqsa's holiness in Judaism and Islam, and it's centrality to the conflict.
-
Jerusalem DistrictAfter lunch there will be another short briefing, followed by a ride to learn about the facts while driving through East Jerusalem settlements and Palestinian neighborhoods.
-
West BankNext up, you will have an up-close look of the infamous West Bank Wall - sometimes called the Separation Barrier - which divides not only Arabs and Jews but in many places, Palestinian communities. This is also an opportune time to learn about the reasons for the wall being built, how well it prevented terrorism and the surveillance of the Palestinian residents.
-
The final stop gives visitors a chance to see the Palestinian village of Anata which is surrounded by the Wall. You will find out about Ma'ale Adumim, one of the biggest settlements in the West Bank, and we may visit the outlying outposts of the town, and learn about the displacement of the local Jahalin Bedouin. Some of the lookout points include captivating views of the Judean Desert and the 'E1' planning zone that is set to be filled with new settlement neighborhoods and tourist hotels.
