4-Day Private Tour of Jerusalem for Seniors

Comfort & Inspiration

Exploring Jerusalem can be a profound experience at any age. This 4-day private tour is designed especially for seniors and those with limited mobility, combining accessible routes, meaningful sites, and a relaxed pace. From sacred churches and synagogues to vibrant markets and modern memorials, the program highlights the city’s most inspiring landmarks while ensuring ease of access throughout. Each day is carefully balanced, offering opportunities for reflection, discovery, and the chance to connect with Jerusalem’s unique spiritual and historical character without the strain of long walks or steep climbs. There is also the option of setting up a folding wheelchair or renting a golf cart for touring parts of the Old City.

Start the day at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, revered as the site of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. The interior and tomb can be accessed with assistance, and time is allowed for quiet prayer and exploration. Continue along portions of the Via Dolorosa, focusing on accessible sections and possibly using golf cart, reflecting on “the stations of the Cross” that tell the story of Jesus’ Passion.

In the afternoon, experience daily life with a visit to the bustling Mahane Yehuda Market, where fresh produce and delicacies await.
