Day 3:
Full day private guided tour of Jerusalem
We’ll meet at Jaffa Gate, one of the city’s original gates from the Ottoman era. Once inside the city walls, we’ll be immersed in history, diverse architectural styles, and multicultural neighborhoods.
We will explore the Armenian Quarter which is one of the four sections within the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. 
The Armenian compound is enclosed by an inner wall within the Armenian Quarter and includes St. James, a convent, school, churches and residences. Along the walk from the Jaffa Gate past the Zion Gate and to the Jewish Quarter are many small shops displaying the beautiful hand-painted Armenian pottery which is made locally. Armenian ceramics can be seen adorning many parts of the Old City including the Dome of the Rock and neighborhood street signs.
In the Christian Quarter, we’ll visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected. Continuing on through part of the route of the Via Dolorosa, we’ll retrace Jesus’ carrying of the cross following his condemnation by Pontius Pilate. 
Security allowing, we may visit the Dome of the Rock, a 7th-century Islamic shrine at the Temple Mount. Of utmost significance for both Muslims and Jews, our local expert will delve further into the narrative behind one of the holiest spots in the world. We’ll then take some time to walk through the Arab Shuk, a winding market with a distinctly Arabian feel and characterful buzz. At a suitable point in our day, we’ll stop for a local lunch, using the time to talk about typical Israeli dishes or the intricacies behind hummus recipes.
Then we will discover the Ramparts Walk.  It is a gem hidden from locals and tourists alike. Hard to find, the Ramparts Walk is one of the most rewarding activities in terms of history, beauty and a greater sense of the Old City as a whole.
Our day may also take us to tour lesser-known sites in the Jewish, Christian, Muslim or Armenian quarters, adding to our foundational knowledge of the Old City. 

Day 4
Full day private guided tour
Our day begins at Jaffa Gate and our route may take a number of different directions depending on group interests. We may start with a scenic lookout over the both Old and New Citycity from the David Citadel, a fitting point to set the scene for the day. Our route will take us to David’s Tomb in Mount Zion, the burial place of King David,a sacred location for visitors. Our private tour will continue on to the Jewish Quarter, entering through the Zion Gate, which is riddled with bullet holes from the War of Independence in 1948. We’ll discuss the important history of the gate, the site where Jewish residents were forced out by the Jordanians, and later where the IDF forces entered to reunite the Old City with West Jerusalem during the Six Day War. Once through the gate, we’ll visit some Sephardic Synagogues, stopping to discuss the centers of religious life in the Jewish Quarter over the centuries before walking through the ancient Cardo. As our day draws to an end, we will visit one of the most important locations for Jews: the Western Wall. We’ll discuss the significance of the site, including the stories of the Temple Mount. Depending on the interests of our group, we may choose to visit the Davidson Center (at own expense), which holds an extensive range of archaeological artifacts from the Second Temple to Early Islamic periods. 
After walking in the footsteps of former Jewish pilgrims and rabbis, we will emerge from the day with a comprehensive understanding of Jewish history and heritage in Jerusalem. We will have gained appreciation and insights into the waves of immigration in and out of the city, the stories of well-known Jewish figures, and current and past events in the holiest of cities. 

Then by car, we will reach

The Ancient Caves of Beit Guvrin
The ancient inhabitants dug caves in the limestone rock not only to quarry the chalk but also to use the caves as water cisterns, storage space,, dovecotes, tombs and to keep live stock.
