Why go

The tunnel route reveals how much of the retaining wall continues beyond the section seen in the open plaza. Excavated masonry and nearby remains show changes in the streets and buildings along the Temple Mount's western edge. The Great Stone is the route's standout example of monumental construction. This is a more focused archaeological visit than simply viewing the wall above ground.

What to look for

  • A long buried section continues the Western Wall beyond the exposed plaza.
  • The Great Stone shows the scale of ancient masonry beneath today's streets.

Useful to know

  • Reserve the Great Stone Route through the operator and confirm the specific route before visiting.
  • If wheelchair access matters, arrange the partially accessible route with the operator in advance.
