Western Wall, Jerusalem | A Soul-Stirring Experience


⏰Visiting hours: The Western Wall is open all year round, 24 hours a day. We recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the evening from Monday to Thursday to avoid the crowds on the Sabbath.

🚗How to get there:
✔️Take public transport to the Old City of Jerusalem, enter through Jaffa Gate, Dung Gate, or Zion Gate, and walk to the Western Wall.
✔️You can also take a taxi or rent a car, but be aware of parking issues.

✅Visiting route:
➡️After passing through security, observe the square before heading to the Western Wall.
➡️The prayer areas are separated by gender, with men on the left and women on the right.
➡️You can participate in prayer or watch from the side. Afterward, visit the Western Wall Tunnels to learn about the history.

📝Tips:

1️⃣Dress code: Dress appropriately and modestly. Women should cover their shoulders and knees, and can bring a scarf or shawl; men should wear a hat, and free paper hats are available at the entrance.

2️⃣Respect customs: Respect local religious customs and regulations, keep quiet, and avoid disturbing those praying. Electronic devices and photography are prohibited on the Sabbath.

3️⃣Behavior: Running, jumping, laughing, smoking, spitting, and other uncivilized behavior are prohibited. Do not write or draw on the wall.

When visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem, please follow local regulations and respect religious beliefs for a better experience.
