Acquaintance with the City

After breakfast, we will go to the business capital of Israel Tel Aviv («Hill of spring»). Lonely Planet included Tel Aviv in the list of «10 best cities for travel». Rich cultural life, unique architecture, world famous nightlife, friendly informal atmosphere and excellent beaches are waiting for you.

Visit the ancient port of Jaffa, founded about 4000 years ago (according to legend - son of Noah, Jaffet), and operating until 1965. These walls still remember Perseus, who saved here Andromeda, with the cunning and severed head of the Medusa-Gorgon, the Old Testament prophets, the ships of Solomon or the stern conquerors of the world - Alexander the Great, Richard the Lionheart and Napoleon...
For the record, gourmets - Jaffa is also proud of the beautiful fish restaurants, located right in the port, and offering with a knife the freshest seafood, caught at dawn by fishermen.
In Tel Aviv, many secluded corners for walks, for example - go to Neve Tzedek - Tel Aviv island of the 30s, a kind of local Montmartre, with cafes and restaurants, art galleries. Also worthy of note is a spacious and renovated promenade with 13 unique beaches. On the promenade you can just walk or ride along the «green» path along the sea on a bike. Walk in the center of the city - July 3, 2003 UNESCO added the center of Tel Aviv - the so-called «White City» - in the list of architectural monuments. There is the world’s highest concentration of houses built in the "bauhaus" style (4000). In addition, in Tel Aviv, there are unique buildings in the styles of Arabeska and Art Deco (times 1918-30), as well as in the International Style (30s and early 40s), which defined in due time the ultramodern look of the city.

In the evening - a free program, which we will make together with you. You will find an unprecedented amount of entertainment for every taste. Opera and ballet performances at the Tel-Aviv Opera House, classical music concerts, as well as performances of international and Russian pop stars in the hall «Gehal a-Tarbut», theatrical meetings at the theater «Gesher» and dance festivals at the Art Center «Susan Dalal». In addition, Tel Aviv is not only a hub of finance, fashion, industry and trade in Israel, but also an entertainment center with an unimaginable number of cafes and restaurants per square meter sidewalk, and clubs open until dawn... It is no coincidence that the newspaper "New York Times" proclaimed Tel Aviv "the capital of the Mediterranean high» ....

Day 3

Jerusalem

To someone sweet sound «Yerushalaim» will remind the novels of Bulgakov or Lazarchuk, someone will hear a song from «Assa» in his head, or a picture of praying at the Wall of Lament of Hasid will appear... It is impossible to understand the significance of Jerusalem without having lived here for years, but the attraction of the Eternal City, bordering on the miracle, is felt from the first steps of the pilgrim.

In our program - visits to the famous Jerusalem temples - the church of Ascension with the bell tower in the name of John the Baptist, («Russian Candle»), and the Russian Orthodox Orthodox Olive Monastery, as well as the church of Holy Equal Apostles Mary Magdalene, with characteristic Moscow maces and kokoshniks. Next to it, in the rock, at the entrance of the Gethsemane Garden, there is the greatest Christian shrine - the underground tomb of the Virgin Mary - the Dormition Church of the Blessed Virgin, and the Russian Gethsemane Convent.
On the Mount of Olives (Mount of Olives), Christ liked to gather with his disciples, so that almost the entire western slope of the Mount of Olives is occupied with Christian relics. The Temple of the Passion of Christ (Church of All Nations) in the Garden of Gethsemane is the place of Prayer for the Cup and the Arrest of Christ.They came to a village called Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, sit here while I pray».(Mark 14:32). According to legend, the ancient olives standing in the monastery garden are witnesses to these events. Here begins the Via Dolorosa (The Way of the Cross)«And dressed Him in His clothes and led Him to the Crucifixion» (Matthew 27:31). We will pass through the Armenian quarter and the Arab market to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - to the Frontal Place (Golgotha).
Then we will examine the Wailing Wall - a sacred place for any Jew. Right above it - Kubbat as- Sahra, the golden dome of the Rock, built on the ruins of the Temple of Tsar Solomon. Inside the dome is a ledge of rock from which, according to legend, the prophet Muhammad made a mirage - an ascension to heaven to meet the Supreme. Be sure to look at the Russian Compound - in one of the oldest districts in the center of Jerusalem, near the Old City. Moscow Square appeared on the map of Jerusalem in the mid-1990s. And, of course, its main decoration - Trinity Cathedral. Further our way lies in Ein Karem - a picturesque place, which stretches at the foot of Mount Ora in the Judean Mountains on the western slopes of Jerusalem, where above the place of birth of John the Baptist there is a Russian Orthodox Goren monastery.
Will complete (optional) the Jerusalem program, the trip to the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem (Hebrew: Bethlehem - «Bethlehem» - «House of Bread»), where the midnight Christmas service takes place. The Basilica was built in the 6th century above the birthplace of Jesus, and is the oldest functioning Orthodox Church in the Holy Land.
