Day 2
Jerusalem's Old City lanes
Old City Bazaar (Shuk ha-Tsaba'im)
Wander the historic covered markets of Jerusalem's Old City, next to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, taking in the colours, scents and history of the ancient lanes.
Covered lanes right beside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre; wander before the midday crowds build.
Morning · 3 hr
Western Wall (Kotel)
Iconic ancient wall and plaza in the Old City, a few minutes' walk from the bazaar. Great for kids to see up close, with plenty of open space.
The plaza is wide and open, easy to visit with children, and a few minutes from the bazaar.
Morning · 1 hrOld City Shawarma and Falafel
Casual family-friendly eatery on David St serving shawarma and falafel - quick, easy lunch that kids love, right by the bazaar.
A quick, casual lunch on David St that keeps the day moving without much waiting.

Day 3
A slow float at the Dead Sea
Dead Sea Beach (Ein Bokek)
Relaxed morning float in the buoyant salt water of the Dead Sea at Ein Bokek's public beach - the signature, light activity for the final day before heading home.
Bring water shoes and rinse off right after the float - the salt stays on the skin.
Morning · 2 hrGo early for calm water and easy parking, and leave the rest of the day for the drive home.
Good to know
Is the Dead Sea float safe for children?
The water is buoyant enough to hold everyone up, but it stings if it gets in eyes or mouth, so keep fresh water and water shoes on hand.
How much time should we allow for Jerusalem's Old City?
The bazaar, the Western Wall and lunch all sit within a few minutes' walk of each other, so a relaxed morning covers them.
Is Jaffa easy to walk with a family?
The stone lanes climb from the port, but the Sea Walls Promenade is flat and open, with benches and room for children to roam.
What is November like for this trip?
Soft light, thinner crowds and mild temperatures - easy walking weather for the Old City and the Dead Sea alike.
