israel touring reservations/suggestions
Hello,
My husband and I will be in Israel for about 2 weeks in May. Does anyone know how to make reservations for the Palmach Museum in Tel Aviv and the Western Wall Tour and the Knesset in Jerusalem?
Which of the Ministry of Defense museums in Tel Aviv besides the Palmach do you find interesting?
I am interesting in finding guided or self-guided walking tours of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. We are going to take the Bahaus Center's tour in Tel Aviv. I understand that they have an Orange Trail Map.
We are touring the country part of the time on our own and part of the time with a guide/driver.
Thanks,
Bonnie

Knesset Session Times:
Monday - 16:00
Tuesday - 16:00
Wednesday - 11:00
The site for the Kotel (Western Wall) is: http://english.thekotel.org/
On Saturday's in Jerusalem, there aref ree tours run by the Muncipality. They leave at noon sharp from Yaffo Road oopposite Zion Square, one tour in English and a different one in Hebrew. The tours change every week, last about two hours, and are basically history/archaeology. They are listed in the "Capital Calender" column in the "In Jerusalem" supplement that comes with the Jerusalem Post if you buy it in Jerusalem on Fridays, or you can ask at the tourist office.

Thanks so much. I now have tours scheduled for the Palmach and the Western Wall Tunnel Tour.
Does anyone know if it is possible to visit the Temple Mount and if so, the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Bonnie

If you mean to actually go up into the square where the Dome of the Rock Mosque is located, then usually tourists are permitted in the morning hours on most days.
Never on Friday.
Also it can be closed without notice at any time. Worth your while to give it a try, but be aware that it may not work out.
The entry is from the Dung Gate - the same place you enter to go to the Kotel, but there is a ramp going upwards on your right as you approach the Kotel. Go up there and ask.
DO NOT carry any form of religious material with you. Bibles will be confiscated!
