Teresa BovellAugust 30, 2016I stood watching as people scribbled fears, hopes dreams & regrets on2 scraps of paper, folded them &tucked them in2 the tiny crevices of the wall. Skeptic or believer. There is power in this place.
The TelegraphMay 14, 2014The holiest shrine in the Jewish world. If you’re lucky, your visit might coincide with a Bar Mitzvah celebration, which regularly take place here. Read more at http://bit.ly/1iLmYRx
Regardless of your feeling towards (any) religion this location has been heralded for centuries and there is some feeling of spirituality in the air
EL AL USAJune 7, 2012Did you know that the Western Wall is the last remains of the second temple? This is a site that our passengers love to visit!
Corrie DavidsonNovember 17, 2013Men on one side, women on the other. Bring a scarf to cover your head. Walk backwards away from the wall to a respectful distance to leave.
Isaaq AJune 18, 2014This place has beed taken hostage by the Ultra Orthodox Jews. And they're the ones who makes the rules here. Reform Jewish Women are discriminated here. Only the Superior Men have shade & women "0".
Phillip MastersJune 6, 2021Well, you have to thank the great one when you’re near the holy of Holies. Amazing place thousands of years of history
- EL AL USAJanuary 20, 2012Check out the Western Wall on a Friday at dusk... although you won't be able to take pictures, the Shabbot celebration is truly magical.
Andrew CJune 29, 2016The holiest site in Judaism!! It is always so impactful, powerful, and inspiring to pray here & simply think about life, being Jewish, and just being in the Holy Land.
Lukas MartiniApril 21, 2012There's an airport-like security check before you get in, but definitely worth the hassle. Great place.- M.MJanuary 27, 2015Emotional and breathtaking even though I'm not Jewish. I went there on Shabbat and I did touch the wall and stuck my prayers in it.
Cenker KöseApril 21, 2019Even you don’t feel anything, when you pray here you will be full of peace and happiness!
Kathi MatSeptember 24, 2019Regardless of religion or belief, a place full of spirituality. Mind blowing like the whole city
violetaAugust 24, 2015Nice to visit, but they keep separated man and women, which nowadays is senseless.
Martin AssmannDecember 2, 2012Please respect the local rules! Proceed to the Wailing Wall only if you wear a hat.
Kathrin KoebelOctober 2, 2011no photos allowed on sabbath (saturday), never the less maybe the most impressive time to visit the western wall
Viator.comJanuary 23, 2012The plaza in front of the wall is divided into 2 sections, one for men, the other for women. Read more
Mens side left corner- there is an area where you can go in that has amazing AC in the back!
Chabad LubavitchDecember 12, 2011After the liberation of the Kotel in 1967 a half-million Jews observed the Mitzvah of Tefillin at the Western Wall: Read more
Hot SandMay 4, 2014Dress conservatively, saw people walking backwards 😒. The men and women areas are seperate. Don't ask for directions to masjid- aqsa😀. You will get dirty looks if not get ignored. No smoking.
Arthas ChuDecember 24, 2012Guys go from the left and girls go from the right, don't make the mistake like me.....

The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple's courtyard, and is arguably the most sacred site recognized by the Jewish faith outside of the Temple Mount itself.
