Hiking

Short but very steep climb from the Kidron Valley to the Mount of Olives. The effort is rewarded again and again by magnificent views in the direction of the Temple Mount with the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa and the burial ground under the Mount of Olives.

Hiking

Much quieter than in the old town, always great views and interesting places along the way. The view from the Mount of Olives is breathtaking when there aren't tons of drones in the air.
