Be sure to see…
The Southern Wall excavations – there are tours with an indoor video presentation. Seeing this makes the Kotel 100 times more meaningful.
Ir David… Just outside Shaar Ha’Ashpa’ot (Dung Gate – where taxis coming to the Kotel leave from) Amazing new discoveries there from the time of David HaMelech – and if the weather isn’t too cold you can walk throught Chezkiyahu’s Water tunnel (about a 20 minute walk with a flashlight thru water up to your knees)- the kids will love it!
