We were advised on how to dress.No shorts for men and women must be covered from ankles to neck. We were able to enter through security near the Western Wall. There are many interesting structures on the Temple Mount. We were not able to enter the Dome but appreciated the beautiful tile work on the exterior. We were able to... More

Very beautiful and peaceful place, quite a contrast to busy streets below. In my opinion one of the most beautiful places in Jerusalem. To my information the Temple Mount is opened at 7.40 and 13.40. Note that they can close it at any time (without pre-notice and any explanation). Make sure you are dressed modestly (no bare shoulders and knees)... More

Haram As-Sharif as this large site in the Old City is called is a peaceful refuge with two historic mosques, the more important one for Muslims is actually not the stunning Dome of the Rock but the smaller Al Aqsa one. Non-Muslims have to enter through the wailing wall plaza and go through 2 checkpoints. We weren't allowed into the... More

we went with my wife on mai to the temple mountain and as non muslims there is only one entry point, near the western wall. They have strict schedules to let non muslims go inside the temple mountain. I remembered we passed around 1:30 pm, and it was crowwwded, so my advice is to start making the line about 1:00... More

Even getting information about crossing over to the Temple Mount proved difficult, and the lines and security checks were annoying, but the Dome of the Rock is exquisite (we could only see the outside) and the entire area is a peaceful park. I am so happy we went. Be sure to cover your legs or you will be forced to... More

I was in Jerusalem on the 25th April in order to attend Anzac Day Commemoration services in the Commonwealth Cemetery on Mt. Scopus. After the ceremony, and towards late morning we moved to the old city for a walking tour which included the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Temple mount. Off the Via Dolorosa we... More

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
