Interesting fact about Jerusalem tours
Jerusalem is perhaps the only city of the modern world that is considered to be an ay place by pilgrims of three of the most well-known monotheist religions on the planet - Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Jerusalem is home to shrines and monuments considered holy by all the three faiths. The Dome of the Rock is a sacred place for the Islamic faith. The Christians come in large numbers to visit the Church of Ascension, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the tomb of the Virgin Mary. The most sacred place of the Jewish faith, the Wailing Wall is found in Jerusalem.
Dead Sea has been a popular place for the tourists who want to spend some relaxing time in Jerusalem. Due to the existence of high level of salt content in the sea, the sea does not support any water life forms. More interestingly, no one drowns in the Dead Sea. The high amount of salt content allows everyone to float in the sea no matter how heavy that individual is. The breakthrough of the Dead Ocean scrolls from the surrounding caverns during the late forties and mid 50s has made Israel tourism gain immense popularity over the years.
The Masada is the ruins of a fortress situated on a plateau. Located in the Judean desert, the Masada overlooks the Dead Sea. It reminds the Jews of their revolt against the Roman Empire and in modern times it is an oath taking place for the recruits of the Israeli army.
