Decided this was our last chance to see the Tower of David Museum before the Gathering started, so we hiked to the Old City in the morning and spent several hours at the old fortress, enjoying the interesting portrayal of Jerusalem’s long and eventful history. It included spectacular panoramic views of the city from the citadel towers. We learned that the citadel that everyone refers to as David’s Citadel is actually a Minaret, or Muslim tower, that was mistakenly identified as part of David’s City when it was first rediscovered. David’s City is actually quite a bit farther south, but the name of the tower stuck.
In the evening we went back for the light show in the same place which was fantastic. This is a definite ‘must see’ for anyone coming to Israel. The entire history of Jerusalem is projected onto the rock walls via lights and music.
