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!
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.
Montefiore Windmill
My advice is to check the opening hours before you go; I didn’t and arrived just as they were closing on a Saturday, which was a bummer.
I suggest visiting in the early afternoon when the light is perfect for photos. Plus, it's less crowded then, so you can really enjoy the views without feeling rushed.
