Israel, and particularily Jerusalem, has been a sacred site for 3 different religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, since the 7th century. Each having a holy site located a very short distance from one another. Making this a remarkable place to visit since it has been fought over so heavily, for so many years, and is still being fought over, today.
I highly suggest visiting,* Qubbat Al-Sakhra, the third most holy site in Islam, next to Medina and Mecca. It’s believed that Mohammed after ascended to heaven on a winged horse that he returned to this very spot to tell his followers what Allah had spoke to him.
From there you can go to the bottom of the Temple Mount and see the *Western Wall, the most sacred site in all Judaism. The wall itself was built by the Romans during their occupation from the ruins of a temple built by King Solomon.
A stone’s throw away is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, believed to be built on the cave where Jesus was laid to rest after his crucifiction, and was resurrected three days later.
