"Where the Sacred Past and Present Meet The Western Wall (also called the Kotel) is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple’s courtyard in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism, outside the Temple Mount itself. The plaza in front of the wall is divided into separate sections for women and men. Some worshipers wedge their prayers, written on small scraps of paper, into crevices between the stones in the wall, while others stand and pray, sometimes for hours. Archeologists have uncovered layers of the wall underground through years of excavation, and via a guided tour, visitors can walk through areas of this original, unrestored site that dates back to the 1stcentury C.E."

I entered on myself. Once or twice, I was asked either I am Jewish, and then, after I sad NO, I was wished a good day and I was left in peace to do whatever I was willing to. Of cause I was respecting all the rules described at the entrance.

One the holiest places on Earth for Jews. Hard to describe the feeling, atmosphere, impressions that surrounds you while trying to go back thousand years in time. Usually crowded, quite frequently a bit overcrowded because of tourists, yet magical, mysterious place. Must see to believe. (PS: it'd deserve 10*).

The Western Wall was absolutely one of the most beautiful and exotic places I’ve ever seen! It’s truly a place you should definitely visit if you go to Israel!

Beautiful place of worship that no one should miss. After passing the security check point, you will get to the main plaza and from there you can observe the remaining part of the ancient retaining western wall of the old Jewish temple that is used now for reading of scripture, meditation and prayer. There is a different section for man and woman. For man, anyone can visit it without charge. Washing your hands and wearing a kippa is recommended. Wonderful experience to see how other faiths worship and understand God. Highly recommend.

safe and everything in order, it’s an interesting place to visit, even you are not a believer. It’s a unique site of the world. Convenient to visit, security check is everywhere, soldiers are around. Nothing to worry about. It’s also easy to find a toilet and changing room.

This place is very special. It’s one of my favorite places in Jerusalem. It’s a great place to connect and pray to God and interact with the people. If you’re tourist: This is a top attraction for many tourist. It is located in the old city in the Jewish quarter. This place is considered the holiest site in Judaism. It is the remaining wall that was in the court yard which surrounded the second temple. If you decide to go the wall and pray, men go on one side and the woman go on the other. All men are required to wear a kippah or a head covering like a hat. There is a information booth before you get to the wall.

No word can describe my feeling when see this magnificent wall. For those who like me who are not believing in the religion, this is a very worthy place to visit and feel the culture with the Jewish people.

This 2,000-year-old city wall is all the remains of the ancient temple built by Herod. I saw the Wailing Wall, a world cultural heritage, and it was very special that the meaning behind the Jews was truly understood. I saw many Jews come to pray, and I became reverent in my heart when I stood in front of the Wailing Wall .
