After breakfast, we leave our hotel for Jerusalem. Jerusalem or The Holy Land - 'Al-Quds', is the third holiest place for Muslims, where we will be visiting Al-Haram Al-Sharif or the 'The Noble Sanctuary'. The Al Haram Al Sharif houses the Dome of Rock and the Great Al-Aqsa mosque.

Then we will proceed to drive to Hebron, a city identified as holy by Muslims, Christians and Jews due to its association with Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his family. We will visit the Al-Haram Al-Ibrahimi Mosque, which houses the tombs of Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Ishaq (Isaac), Prophet Yaaqub (Jacob) and their wives, Sarah, Rifka (Rebecca) and Lanika (Leah) respectively. Al-Haram al-Ibrahimi is one of the most imposing monuments of ancient Palestine and considered to be the fourth holiest site in Islam. According to Arab legend, the mosque walls were built without mortar by Prophet Solomon (pbuh) with the help of Genies or spirits.

The city of Jerusalem also has many other important historical burial places and we will be paying a visit to Prophet Dawud's (David) tomb in Abu Tor and then we will be visiting the hill of the Mount of Olives where Virgin Mary's tomb is. This sanctuary is regarded as the holiest for both Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land.
Walking outside the walls of Al-Haram Al-Sharif, we will be visiting the Western Wall (which is also called the Buraq Wall), and this part of the wall is considered a holy site for both Muslims and Jews. The Old City of Jerusalem has its own magic and a walk through the Old City will take us back into history.
