Kidron Valley

Separating the City of Jerusalem and Mount of Olives, this valley contains many ancient tombs such as those of Absalom, St. James, St. Zacharias and Jehoshaphat.

Reviewed By Love2pioneer - Maple Ridge, Canada

A deep valley that separates Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives and runs first southeastward and then southward along the city. It's was about a 15 min walk from the old city down into the valley up to the garden Gethsemane... it is a surreal feeling to realize you are walking where, King David, when fleeing from rebellious Absalom, crossed the Kidron Valley on foot, up to the mount of Olives or the valley that Jesus traversed on his way to the garden of Gethsemane

Garden of Gethsemane

Located outside the walls of Jerusalem, this beautiful garden among a grove of olive trees is thought to be the place where Jesus particularly enjoyed prayer and contemplation.

Reviewed By pedjaspasojevic - Belgrade, Serbia

Nice and small garden with lots of old olive trees and a large number of flowers. In the garden there are olive trees that are old and after 2000 years.

Tisch Family Zoological Gardens (Biblical Zoo)

This 62-acre zoo contains more than 140 species of animals with two major themes: animals mentioned in the Bible and endangered species from around the world.

Reviewed By jillmclain

This zoo is lush with green and color. The animals are mostly visible without fences are bars to look through. Birds were nesting in the trees. Loved the raptor house and so many other animals in this zoo. Plenty of places to have a picnic and sit in shade. Highly recommend it.

Tayelet Haas Promenade

The most panoramic view of Jerusalem, together with the Judean Desert, this is the perfect place to end the #99 bus tour, especially at the twilight hour, when the light gives real meaning to the description "Jerusalem of Gold."

Reviewed By phresharona - Buffalo, United States

Overlooking the old city and mount of olives is this gem- lavender bushes everywhere and walking paths down the side of mount.. it is well worth finding for a time out from hectic touring. Not to be missed. Plus the Muslim call to prayer is electrify if you catch it at the right time . For some reason the cab didn’t know how to get me there and when we got off a few blocks away nobody could point to where it was - like they hadn’t heard of it.

Herodyon National Park

Reviewed By 722vital - Chicago, United States

Guide Helen Cohn with IsraelDaysOut picked us up at our hotel and guided us through Herodyon, pointing out West Bank and Territories sites en route. The depth and breadth of her knowledge about Herodyon as well as the current political situation was most enlightening.

Nahal Og

Reviewed By fotodive - Canton of Geneva, Switzerland

Nahal Og is a beautiful canyon hike . Easy reachable. Near Kibbutz Almog close by the Dead Sea are sign which point to Nahal Og. From the parking lot leads a easy trail to the canyon. Once in the canyon awaits the hiker a incredible landscape. Best is to do the hike upward and the loop back to the parking lot. Bring some picknick along, water, and take your time to rest at numerous beautiful spots where you can take lots of great pictures. This hike includes climbing some ladders to overcome high rock formations, waterfalls. In my opinion, a must do when passing near Kibbutz Almog.
