[PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

For some people, a simply walk around Jerusalem’s Old City just doesn’t do it and they need something a bit more extreme. If you are counted among this group, perhaps rappelling the walls or crawling through a secret tunnel or entering the guard tower of Shar Shechem would do it for you.

The historic family trek will be available on Chol Hamoed Pesach (April 11-16) from 9:00AM to 5:00PM.

Following are options availalable as per the Jerusalem Municipality
