Monday, December 7, 2026

07:00–19:00

Yad Izhak Ben Zvi

On this tour we visit three compounds sacred to both Judaism and Islam and see the changes they went through between the periods: At Nebi Samuel, the tomb of the prophet Samuel, we get to know the site and the formation of the traditions attached to it in the three religions. In central Jerusalem we visit the site of Nebi Ukasha, which in recent years has begun to develop as a Jewish holy site, and finish at Sheikh Badr, a Jewish cemetery from 1948, one of whose graves has become a pilgrimage destination over the past decade. Meeting point: Yad Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, 14 Ibn Gabirol Street Recommended parking: 14 Ibn Gabirol Street and car parks in the area Low difficulty level: includes site visits and short walks in urban and natural terrain.
