Jerusalem of Below - A tour of Underground Jerusalem

Jerusalem of Below

A tour of Underground Jerusalem

Every day, exciting historical findings and sites are revealed which tell our story. Most of us are unaware of the vibrant life that thrives beneath the surface. Underground Jerusalem is brimming with life and tells a story that has been unfolding for years and continues to this day. We will visit King David’s palace, sites and tunnels newly opened to the public, and one secret tunnel that runs beneath the walls of the Old City and culminates in a hidden underground entrance that leads directly to the Western Wall.

In this tour we will hear why Jerusalem is sacred to each of the major monotheistic religions. We will visit their holy sites and receive an impression of daily life and the imprint they left in architecture and urban design throughout historical periods. In addition to attempting to understand Jerusalem’s sanctity in the eyes of each of the major monotheistic religions, we will visit the new excavations and tunnels in the City of David, enter recently opened lesser-known sites, and conclude at the Western Wall Plaza.
