here you go!

Church of the Annunciation

Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Western wall

I forgot where this is, Akko I think. The significance of the door being so short is to bow or show reverence to the Lord as you enter.

This is the Israeli main battle tank. The night we were supposed to port in Ashod in the south there were rocket attacks from Gaza so we had to port in haifa. As we were heading back after our tour of Masada and the dead Sea many tanks were being trucked south, a reminder of life there

Thanks jacketwatch

That picture that you are not sure of., the second from the bottom with the small door entrance, well....

You took that picture standing in the Church of Nativity Plaza and the small doorway is the entrance into the Church of Nativity.,

Manger Square is at you back ( West) you are looking East. !!!!

Hi Philip, my husband and I are headed to Israel and Jordan in October 2020. We opted to take our first ever tour trip. There is so much information about religion and history that I felt me wandering around would miss so much. Our tour is 14 days so that may not work for you, but they run tours and they book up very fast. The tour is not cheap, but you stay in very nice hotels and schmerl above has also taken this tour and said it was fantastic.

This is the link to their website. If you want to travel on your own, you might want to check out Tauck's itinerary and hotels and follow that path. Then you can hire guides. Good luck in your planning!
