Tour Description: People have been writing about Jerusalem for the better part of its 3,000 - year history. This tour contains none of the annoying advertising or bias found on free downloads. Defying warfare and time, Jerusalem’s architecture remains in remarkable shape - visitors can spend days (or weeks) getting lost in its labyrinth of alleys and bustling bazaars. The Old City is surrounded by both relics of ancient and modern times. To the south lies the City of David (the original Jebusite city). Predominately Palestinian East Jerusalem is home to consulates, museums and the Garden Tomb (the possible crucifixion site), while West Jerusalem has the Israeli capital building and a patchwork of secular and religious neighborhoods. Jerusalem, or Al-Quds as its known in Arabic, has an inevitably powerful effect on its visitors, breeding political activism, religious fanaticism or simply a greater appreciation of the magnificent tide of human history. A quick run through the main tourist sights will not do it justice, so plan on staying a while, and see what it does to you.
With 60 tracks and almost four hours of recorded content, this is the most comprehensive Jerusalem City tour available anywhere. It offers the user different options to cover a wide variety of unique sites across the city, based on different themes - historical, religious, ethnic, contemporary - or you can choose a general tour. The two major sections of the city, West and East, are quite different from one another. The Western side is modern, while the Eastern side contains ancient sites that are holy to pilgrims of the three major Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This city tour offers the best of both sides of the city.
