The tour of the Old City begins at the ancient walls that surround the city, entering by the Jaffa Gate. Back to the Old City and through the Lion Gate to the Via Dolorosa, walking all the way through the colorful old market to the impressive Holy Sepulcher church. |

Overlooking the Dead sea, the reined village of Oumran was deserted for almost 2000 years. The hidden Scroll found in the caves in 1947 exposed the secret life of the isiyim, a small ultra religious sect, who hid there from the roman enemy. In the harsh Judean desert they led a tried survive and during the long nights they copied the bible onto scrolls. When the Roman came they hid the scrolls in the caves and some the sect joined the rebels at Massada. The sect regulations of the Isiyim are one of the most intriguing items of the scrolls to be seen in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. |
