The Western Wall Tunnels


Then we walked underneath the Muslim Quarter for a walk along the newly-excavated tunnel that abuts the entire length of the Western Wall of the Temple precinct. It was a warm, narrow, confining walk along the almost 300 meter perimeter wall. Above us was the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, and below us through Plexiglas floors we could see the original street outside the Wall from more than 2,000 years ago.

The sign here reads "danger, entry forbidden."
