On Monday December 13th take A Walk on the Walls from the Citadel to the Dung Gate. The tour starts at the Tower of David and follows the Ramparts Walk southwards past the Armenian Quarter, Mount Zion and the Jewish Quarter to the Dung Gate. Leaving the ramparts near the Western Wall, it winds its way back through the markets and the Jewish Quarter to the Jaffa Gate.
Meet at 9.30 a.m. just outside the Jaffa Gate. On Wednesday December 15th tour Rechavia.

Meet at 9.30 a.m. at the corner of King George and Keren Kayemet Le'Israel Streets (just outside the Zionist institution buildings). Coming up in the following week: On Monday December 20th at 1.30 p.m. follow the Rebuilding of Jewish Jerusalem from 1267 - 1860.
