The Israeli authorities do very little to make any visit easy. A classic failure to recognise that not all visitors enjoy being categorised into one of two groups. However, when the muslem authorities impose their restrictions just to show that they can the position shifts into the realms of farce. It is a difficult place to visit and even if... More

This is what I came to Jerusalem to see, having a love of Islamic Architecture, well worth the 45 minutes que time. Its the third most holy place in the Islamic world, and the only one of the three a non Musluim can enter...Its a big site...But you cannot access the Mosques or the Museum due and incedent in 2001,...

Being on top of the Temple Mount was surreal and amazing. Actually there are no words to describe the experience. We were all overcome and completely blown away. There were muslim Palestinian guards at the entrance with guns. Our group walked by them, and I found out later one lady was told to cover up more because her skin was... More

The Dome of the Rock is a beautiful edifice which stands out most prominently in the city of Jerusalem, but only Muslims can get close to access it. The Temple Mount itself is of great importance to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Very impressive and it would have been nice to go inside the Dome of the Rock (as some people have indicated was possible). In fact the Dome has been closed to the public since 2000. Lovely from the outside but can't understand why we were kicked off the grounds when the people went into the Mosque to pray? We didn't... More

The Temple Mount with it's golden dome dominates the Old City of Jerusalem. This is Islam's third holiest site, and sits above Judaism's holiest. The entire Temple Mount is surrounded by walls. Access is via 11 gates of which Muslims can use all gates, unfortunately for other faiths, access is allowed only on the Marokkanertor at the Wailing Wall. Entrance... More

The Temple Mount has to be the most Magnificent place in the World....it seemed unreal that I was finally there and just to be able to smile and say I was there is enough..I loved my visit to Israel and I look forward to returning and doing it all again.

The Temple Mount is the epicenter of the earth and has such religious, historical, and cultural significance. It was an amazing experience and I was overwhelmed. I would definitely go through all you have to go through to get to go there. The security checks and lines and rules were worth the views and being on such a holy sight.

To get access, you must, of course, pass security. Avoid, if possible, the wooden path next to the Western Wall. There are other entrances! It's only open a few hours daily and if you are a couple - remember to not touch each other. They "watch-men" will tell you "No touch". It seems like the hours could change with whenever... More
