Hezekiah's Broad Wall - Water and Wine Tours

Hezekiah’s Broad Wall

A glance at this impressive structure, excavated several meters below the modern street level in Jerusalem’s Old City sets the mind to wondering. What if we let the archeologists have their way? Imagine the entire city dug up? What treasures would be revealed, questions answered, biblical verses confirmed. But Jerusalem is a living city and a balance is struck, homes above, antiquities revealed, too an extent, below. Here King Hezekiah spared nothing in his attempt to save Jerusalem from the Assyrian onslaught, 2700 years ago. Note the remnants of the homes he had to destroy to save the city. Let your guide tell you the full story about this place.

How to put together your Water and Wine tour of Israel

On our Water and Wine Tours website you will not find standard tours.

Don’t worry. We’ll make sure that you experience the must-see sites in the country. But we’ve also included a comprehensive list of sites, by region for people with many different interests, with enough description for you to ascertain whether it’s the sort of place you want to spend your time.

You know your budget and how much time you have to spend here.

So here are our recommendations, based on years of leading all sorts of tours throughout the country.

Ask yourself if this trip is a vacation. Do you want to see sites but also feel really relaxed at the end of each day? So that you don’t need a few days of sleep upon your return home? If this is the case then try to restrict yourself to three major sites per day. Between the sites, travel and lunch 8-10 hours will pass quickly.
If you’re more inclined to describe yourself as a pilgrim or someone who wants a survey of sites, then expect to visit up to five sites per day. You’ll be spiritually satisfied but you’ll also need to get a good night’s sleep every night.
