About this experience

The tour starts with a view across Jerusalem from Mount of Olives. We descend the mount passing Jerusalem’s oldest Jewish cemetery dating back 3,000 years. We walk through the Kidron Valley where there are Jewish tombs dating back to the 1st century AD and enter the Old City via the Dung Gate. We continue to Temple Mount, a sacred site once home to the ancient Jewish Temple and today home to the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. At times entrance to Temple Mount is limited by the authorities and under those circumstances we will visit the Tower of David instead. Next we visit the Davidson Center, an archaeological park adjacent to Temple Mount with excavated First and Second Temple Period structures. We tour the excavated site and see ancient remains from various historic periods. At the end of the tour you are returned to your hotel.

Sacred place

A unique experience, visiting the sacred place where the Temple stood. Today, the Al-Aqsa architectural complex stands there, composed of mosques, towers, and minarets, with the central symbol being the Dome of the Rock mosque or the Golden Dome mosque. The entire place is impressive and sacred to the three monotheistic religions.

Response from the operator: Thaks very much for sharing that this was a n enlightening expereince to you to visit such a unique location. wee are glad it has been a memorable tour to cherish

Visit of a lifetime.

An unhurried tour of the Temple Mount early before the masses of visitors come up from Ashdod. Many of the shops were still closed. My guide got me into a private office with a view of the Dome and Al Aqsa Mosque. I didn't tour the Dome as my guide was a secular Jew. He would have arranged a Muslim guide if I had asked for it.

Response from the operator: Thanks very much for this complimentary feedback fo the ;tour and of your guide.We are so pleased to read that he made very effort to accomodate this wish of yours under the circumstances. Yes there are certain operational requirements for a visit inside. Clearly this was a memorable tour experience for you. Great for other readers to read.

Essential.

Another of the must-see places in Jerusalem, although the place is sacred to Muslims and Jews, only the former can pray there, all others can go as visitors, but you cannot enter inside mosques and have strict hours, it is curious to access through a wooden bridge that passes over the Wailing Wall.

Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your favorable impression of this significant location. It is clear you had an enlightening and meaningful visit there Not sure this is for our services?

Free activity in Jerusalem

When you exit the Lionsgate in Old Jerusalem its not far to the mount of Olives and the Garden of Getsemane located on its slope.

Response from the operator: We are presuming the text of this post was cut off... We do this walking tour in the Footsteps of Christ

Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.

How much does Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock cost?

+

Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jerusalem is not rushed.

Is Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jerusalem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Jerusalem Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jerusalem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Jerusalem?

+

On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Jerusalem: Dual Narrative Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Jerusalem?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Jerusalem?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
