Jerusalem Dual Narrative Tour
Our unique Jerusalem Dual Narrative Tour exposes the complex history and current reality of one of the most celebrated and controversial cities in the world. Will you have a definite answer in the end? Probably not.
In this multi-narrative experience, see Jerusalem presented by one Jewish Israeli and one Palestinian guide in tandem. Visit the Temple Mount or “Al-Haram A-Sharif” (meaning “The Noble Sanctuary”), the complex ascribed special meaning in biblical tradition, and holy for both Judaism and Islam. Move to a viewpoint overlooking Old City rooftops and the valleys beyond its walls – which points are emphasized in each guides’ narrative? Do the two relate differently to the city’s thousands of years of history? Visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a window into the diversity of Christian faith and living example of a tenuous truce. Pass through the Old City’s main arteries and small pathways. Who lived here hundreds of years ago? In 1929? 1967? How is it changing today? Understand deep religious and national ties to Jerusalem, consider recent tensions, and ponder the city’s future.
