Driving across the Resurrection Valley, we'll descend to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested. This garden's ancient olive trees might have been saplings when Jesus was here. Next stop is the Church of All Nations or the Basilica of the Agony, where Jesus prayed on the night of his arrest.

At the Mount Zion, you'll visit the Last Supper Room where Jesus had his Last Supper with his disciples and just below, the tomb of King David. We shall walk along the bustling Arab Market of the Old City and shall walk through the Damascus Gate following St. Paul steps on his Way to Damascus.
