The Western Wall Tunnels

  The Western Wall Tunnels stretch beneath the Old City of Jerusalem, revealing a fascinating glimpse into the city’s layered history. Dating back over 2,000 years, these tunnels allow visitors to explore the original structures from the Second Temple period, featuring large stone blocks that weigh up to 6 tons each. As you wander the winding pathways, you can see sections of the ancient wall and even the hidden chambers that have been unearthed, providing insights into the city's archaeological significance. The tunnels are especially popular to visit during the cooler months of November to February, when the crowds are lighter. Visitors can join guided tours to learn about the historical context and view remnants of the city’s past.
