You step from a cool, air-conditioned vehicle onto a sun-warmed overlook above the Old City; below, stone streets fold into courtyards, domes, and minarets that have watched centuries of passage. The Mount of Olives opens the day with a sweep of cityscape—gold, ochre, and the distant flash of the Dome of the Rock—before the group threads through lanes where pilgrims and vendors meet.
