TRAVEL TIPS

Comfortable Shoes

Comfortable shoes are a must – there is a lot of walking on cobblestones in Jerusalem, and a decent amount of hills and stairs.

Weather

Jerusalem is HOT in August, so pack accordingly.

Dress Code

All holy sites require modest attire, which for women means shoulders and legs covered.

Important Note

From sundown on Friday night, until sundown on Saturday night, Jerusalem ushers in the holy Sabbath, and almost all activity in Jerusalem grinds to a halt. It is a magical and spiritual experience that we hope you will enjoy. But that also means that most shops and restaurants are closed, and cabs are scarce. Of course, the hotels all have food and concierges that can assist with any needs that pop up over the weekend. We will be hosting events over the course of the Sabbath that will keep you well occupied and fed.
