Israel, Old Jerusalem and the Temple Mount
Wondrous Destinations
History weighs heavily on the Old City district of Jerusalem, site of many violent conflicts over the past 3,000 years and a place that holds deep spiritual significance for followers of the Muslim, Jewish and Christian faiths. As you pass by ancient mosques, synagogues, churches and bazaars, and navigate the labyrinth of narrow lanes leading up to the Temple Mount, look for glimpses of sunlight glinting off the Dome of the Rock and reflect on the astonishing span of events that have shaped in this city. For all the blood that has been spilled on these streets and ramparts, there is unmistakable beauty here, and a powerful sense of sanctity for all to revere.
