Jerusalem Underground - Quest Tour |
|
Jerusalem is jokingly called the "celestial real estate". As we know, this city is the sacred place for three major religions of the world.
|
|
The Muslims say that one prayer in Jerusalem is worth 40,000 similar prayers in any other place. The Jews believe that from the ten beauty measures of this world, nine got Jerusalem. The Christians believe that in this Holy City the spiritual center of the planet is placed.
|
|
The most amazing thing is that Jerusalem has absolutely no claim to such universal fame because of its geographic location. Unlike other famous cities of the antiquity, Jerusalem is far from the sea, has no mineral deposits, has never been a part of major trading routes and in the terms of strategic importance is completely useless. Not to mention that at all times it was very difficult to reach Jerusalem.
|
|
The fame of Jerusalem is created by the images and people, such as Abraham and Muhammad, the kings David, Salomon and Herod and Jesus Christ. Historically, every known ancient and modern civilization left its "fingerprints" on the city. Every stone in Jerusalem has its own unique story.
|
|
So, unique stories are exactly the purpose of our adventure tour in the undergrounds of Jerusalem.

The underground world of the Holy City has preserved for our generation all that multi-faceted beauty of the centuries-old architecture, which on the surface has been ruined for a long time or completely changed its appearance.
