Western Wall

The remains of the Second Temple of Jerusalem and a place of prayer sacred to the Jewish people.

Reviewed By PeterWJr46 - Poughkeepsie, United States

It was hard to believe that part of the temple that existed when Our Lord walked the earth, is still there. The West Wall is sacred to the Jewish faith and a testament to the life of Our Savior and His teaching in this very temple. The wall, itself, is divided by a separation for men and for women. It was interesting to see how this divide is so prevalent in this religious atmosphere. Security was ever present around the entrances and within the courtyard leading to the West Wall. It is a holy site and should be treated as such.

Citadel of Acre

The Hospitallers, the Order of the Knights of St. John, built this impressive fortress more than 700 years ago.

Reviewed By MiriamBee - Tel Aviv, Israel

Though I have visited Acre (or Akko, St Jean d'Acre) several times, Wisam Kharouf's guided tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site brought new discoveries and historical facts to light. The benefit of spending time with a local guide was immediately apparent. Wisam is a native of the city (his family have lived in Akko for several hundred years) and he wears his considerable knowledge and academic background lightly, making the highlights of our visit accessible and interesting to three generations! We saw several aspects of the City in all its unique grandeur. Wisam guided us through the old city with its remarkable excavations and restorations of the Halls of Crusader Knights, the magnificent central courtyard and the Khan Al-Umdan, the 18th century caravanserai near the port. We also visited the Ramchal (or Rabbi Luzzatto) Synagogue with its connections to this poet and Kabbalist who arrived in Akko in 1743. We strolled through the atmospheric Market Street and heard the call to prayer from the El-Jazzar Mosque that dates from 1782. Altogether, this proved to be an exciting and informative day for our family group, thanks to Wisam, who patiently answered questions and offered generously of his valuable knowledge and experience as a Tour Guide.
