"Where the Sacred Past and Present Meet The Western Wall (also called the Kotel) is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple’s courtyard in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism, outside the Temple Mount itself. The plaza in front of the wall is divided into separate sections for women and men. Some worshipers wedge their prayers, written on small scraps of paper, into crevices between the stones in the wall, while others stand and pray, sometimes for hours. Archeologists have uncovered layers of the wall underground through years of excavation, and via a guided tour, visitors can walk through areas of this original, unrestored site that dates back to the 1stcentury C.E."

It was a holyday eve and half of the floor was closed due to cleaning precess. Me and the kids were excited to see the western wall - the only real memorial of the 2,000 years destroyed temple

A place unlike any other in the world. Standing before the ancient stones of the Western Wall is a deeply moving experience — a blend of history, faith, and emotion that words can hardly describe. You can feel the prayers of generations that were whispered here. Whether you come to pray, reflect, or simply witness the atmosphere, it’s a moment that stays with you forever. The site is beautifully maintained, safe, and open to visitors of all backgrounds. Come early in the morning or at sunset to feel the serenity and power of this sacred place. An absolute must-see when visiting Jerusalem.

Open air synagogue in old city of Jerusalem. Close on Sabbath. You can visit and pray in this area. Please bear in mind this area very high security access. If you are man choose left side wall and women right side wall. There is segregation in between

The holiest site in Judaism. haKotel, the western retaining wall of the Second Temple Mount where Jews and non-Jews come to pray. There are two separate sections for prayer for men and women. Dress modestly to be able to get to the wall (no shorts, no short skirts, covered shoulders - shawls are provided).

Well, since most ppl know what it is, I will just say I had a very strong spiritual experience, you do feel closer to God by the wall. You do have lots of bathrooms and cold water to drink.

Second-most important Jewish holy site. Difficult in full sun during the hottest parts of a summer day, but of course, not to be missed on any visit to Israel or Jerusalem. On special days, be prepared for a crowd. Wait patiently and you will get to the front to touch the wall. Plenty of fresh water for hand washing and drinking, nice (if busy) bathrooms open almost all the time. Access to Jewish quarter is up a lot of stairs, so be prepared to sweat a bit of you're heading there next...

I entered on myself. Once or twice, I was asked either I am Jewish, and then, after I sad NO, I was wished a good day and I was left in peace to do whatever I was willing to. Of cause I was respecting all the rules described at the entrance.

The Western Wall was absolutely one of the most beautiful and exotic places I’ve ever seen! It’s truly a place you should definitely visit if you go to Israel!
