At the top of the Phasael Tower at a height of 777 meters above sea level, sits the most beautiful observation point in Jerusalem, offering a 360° expansive view over the east and the west.

From the top of this tower built by King Herod about 2000 years ago, there is a commanding view over holy sites, neighborhoods, and major buildings in Jerusalem – the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives and Mt. Scopus. This is the opportunity to see from one vantage point the places that spawned the stories that made Jerusalem into an important, holy city for so many people.

There are 100 steps to the summit of the tower, prepare yourself to climb them!
