Default Re: Jerusalem hotel for 5 nights

Jerusalem is a holy city and has many churches, synagogues, and mosques. The historic and holy sites which you must visit are Garden Tomb, Western Wall, Yad Vashem Museums, Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock, Ein Kerem and the Temple Mount.

Ein Kerem is a town which is located on the edge of Jerusalem nestled by the hills. Here is where John the Baptist was born and you can visit monestaries and churches here. The Bus number 17 will take you to Ein Kerem from the city center.

The Tisch Family Zoological Gardens is one among the attractions and a good place for children. It covers sixty-two acres and a zoo is situated in a wonderful valley location. The main two attractions of the zoo are various species and the animals that are spoken in the Bible. This zoo is also called as "Jerusalem Biblical Zoo". There is a safari-style refreshment facility available here.Also there is a train to ride around it, so visit this zoo during your Jerusalem vacation.

Some other points of interest are Jordan River, Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee. Also you can go for a boat cruise in Jerusalem.

For any Jerusalem travel info just contact "D.D.Travel LTD", one of the travel company that offers travel and vacation packages, discount hotels, tours and car rental for groups and individuals. Just call them on 0-800-028-5283 and get more details. hope this helps!
