Church of the Holy Sepulcher
Jami al-Aqsa
I suggest visiting early, around 7 AM, to beat the crowds and catch the beautiful morning light for photos. It was way less hectic at that time!
My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, and trust me, it's no fun if your feet hurt!
If you can, bring straws for the Jerusalem sun. It can get unbearably hot, and the shade can be hard to find. I leve it behind last time - big mistake!
The First Station
Wall of Tears
My advice is to bring a small piece of paper to stick between the stones with your wishes or prayers. It's a nice personal touch and adds to the experience.
I suggest checking out nearby attractions afterward, like the Western Wall tunnels or the markets. It makes for a packed but fulfilling day!
Basilica of the Annunciation
Clock Tower
Habima Square
Port of Jaffa
Take a moment to sit by the water and just soak it all in. I rushed around trying to see everything and missed out on the relaxing ambiance. Trust me, chilling by the waves is part of the experience!
Tel Aviv Port
Be prepared for surprises! I accidentally stumbled upon some amazing street performances in the evening. I think checking out the schedule of events ahead of time could save you from missing out!
I recommend trying the local ice creams from those small vendors. They have unique flavors that you won't find elsewhere. Trust me, it's worth the few extra shekels.
Public transport makes getting there easy, so my advice is to download a transit app and skip the hassle of parking. It can get super busy!
Dome of the Rock
I recommend checking if you need dress codes to enter. The last thing you want is to be turned away for not being properly dressed. A light scarf for women helps a lot.
