The Archeological Park - Davidson Center
Adjacent to the Western Wall lies an impressive archaeological park. The park contains artifacts from different periods: the First and Second Temple periods, the Byzantine Muslim period, the ancient Crusades period, as well as others. The most exciting findings are: the walls of the city from the First Temple period, the steps leading up to the Temple, the original street from the time of the Second Temple period, shops, ritual baths and more. The Davidson Center is a museum within the archaeological park, with presentations and exhibitions related to findings from the site. You can watch a video about the pilgrims that will bring you back in time. In addition, a virtual model with local guidance will take you on a journey in time to the days of the Second Temple.
History
Excavations conducted after the unification of Jerusalem adjacent to the Western Wall and the southern wall (yes that’s right, there is a southern wall) yielded amazing and exciting findings. Adjacent to the Western Wall was a large and impressive street from the Second Temple period, which was actually the main street of Jerusalem at the time. Everyone strode there, pilgrims and tourists and the greatest Jews of the time - Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai and even Rabbi Akiva. You friends, if you come to the archeological park, can also walk on the same tiles! Use your imagination, and you can feel the atmosphere felt when hundreds of thousands of Jews 2000 years ago, walked in the street before their arrival pure and trembling before ascending Temple Mount.
In 70 CE the Romans destroyed. Giant stones that fell from the walls of the Temple Mount landed on the street. An enormous arch that was spread across the street and led to the southern part of the Temple Mount (with its remains visible on the Western Wall) also fell on the street and caused a huge hole. An impressive drainage channel was discovered beneath the street and inside it were amazing finds from the time of the destruction. This is where the fighters fled, hoping to escape from the Romans’ sword. Next to the southern wall, climb a staircase carved into the bedrock of Mount Moriah (an original part of the Second Temple period) that served the immigrants to the Temple Mount.
The Davidson Center has a museum showing artifacts found in the excavations. As well as an impressive three-dimensional model that allows you to tour Jerusalem and go up to the Temple together with the pilgrim. To walk with him on the street, to buy a sacrifice with him, to immerse with him in the mikveh, and from there to accompany him on the ascent to Temple Mount. Viewing the unique 3D model completes the pilgrimage experience.
Many of the structures that are seen in the area date back to the Byzantine period, when there was a large construction boom in the area. Among the ruins of one of the shops is a large gold medallion bearing the image of a menorah and other Jewish symbols. Interestingly, during the Byzantine period, Jews were not allowed to enter Jerusalem. From the Early Islamic period remains of the Umayyad palaces were found, impressive in size (the finds date to the Persian occupation at the beginning of the seventh century CE). The most important of them was a bridge that connected the upper floor of the palace to the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The bridge served as a private passage of the Sultan to the mosque. A massive earthquake in 749 CE caused the collapse of buildings that were never rebuilt. Remains from these palaces are scattered throughout the site and can be seen at the entrance.

Shalom My Brother,
Many thanks for letting people who are either less fortunate or disabled like me be able to view and learn about the many wonderful places .
Thanks a lot was able to see the places, the temple during the time of Jesus. AmaZing
Thank you for showing us all you do in your vedios. To me in what you show just clearly show Jesus and his words are true. Thank you again
Ditto!
Thanks for sharing this video. I’m a Chinese Christian. I love Israel,pray for the peace of Jerusalem.and i believe Temple location is just right at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.Jewish will rebuild the Temple right on it.God will helps them.
I believe very soon.. GOD IS SO GOOD 💙🙏🏽🙌🏽🕊
No stone will remain on another. The stones he is showing are of Fortress Antonio that houses the 10th legion of 10000 men. Josephus confirms that after Titus destroyed the city the only remaining foundation was the Roman fortress. The 1st/2nd temple was located in the city of David beside the Gihon spring.
It's not in Bible to build third temple
Just anew jerusalem
To you, & any fellow Christians from China, I pray for you, too! Are you in danger for being a Christian there? Blessings from Christians in America! You are right. As a Christian, we believe Biblically the 3rd temple will be built.
God bless you dear Zahi,for giving us a virtual tour of the Holy Land.Blessed be the God of Israel.
Thanks for the tour, it makes me feel warm inside, trying to visualize the accounts of the Bible as you explain .
Your live video woke me up around 4:30 in the morning in Alabama, USA. I watched part of it before falling back to sleep. I just now watched the rest, all of it, with my coffee. Thank you so much.
You said you would pray for us. Well, I am praying for you. Your time, your knowledge, your persistence in difficult times is MUCH appreciated. I pray God will bless you, protect you and those you love, will continue to give you strength to continue your work of blessing and teaching, will enhance your knowledge of Israel and of who He is. Isaiah 33:5-6 שלום
God bless you for the giving us a virtual tour of the holy land.
I got my holy spirit shivers as you walked thru and I found myself to be emotional through out the walk.
Me as well 💙🙏🏽🕊🙌🏽
I enjoyed the whole video. It's so exciting to see so many places I read about in the Bible! Thank you!
It's a pure pleasure to see the massive structures the tons of stones blocks excavations tunnels and incredible things in Jerusalem. I have been studying Biblical Archaeology for many years now and investigating all things Religious or Philosophical Mythological and am enthralled especially by the Holy Land. Thank you Zahi Shaked for your beautiful work.
I love these videos...the only way i can see Jerusalem
I’m one of the brave ones! My wife and I were supposed to take our honeymoon here but we’re unable. Thank you for walking with us and showing us the very ground that our Lord Jesus walked on! Amazing! I found myself saying “wow” for the whole 40 minutes haha blessings!
OH I AM SO VERY VERY BLESSED TODAY. Found you walk thru the temple area, July 12th, and I was hypnotized with awe. what an excellent tour. PLEASE do this again and again. I am here in the USA and so desire to visit Jerusalem, for years, new things happening every day. Cannot keep up with all the news of the digs and the findings. the excavations, the original stone from the time of Jesus, it is almost as it I am there. It literally gives me goosebumps. God bless you for this visual. What a treasure to view this virtual tour passing by walls, tunnels, gates, roads of the 1st century Jerusalem. And a nice long one. it is 40 minutes long. I am playing it over and over.
This is the most detailed tour of Jerusalem I have ever seen, and I am totally happy taking the journey with you,
Will try to find out more
Blessings.
Thanks
I was blessed to be able to visit the Holy Lands back in the 80's. Your video brings back so many beautiful memories of my time I spent there! God bless you for taking the time to do this for so many people!
Thank you for an excellent tour, thank you for your enthusiasm and effort through the summer heat, to show people around the world one of the most important places of the Promise Land, God bless you and keep you and your family through this perilous times. 🙌😊
Absolutely beautiful! To think that I am witnessing this right where our precious Lord came to this second temple. The history of these things that took place is right before our eyes. Praise be to God 🙏
Thank you for this tour. I won't ever be able to afford a trip to the holy land, this is the next best thing. Thank you.
I visited Jerusalem on July 2019 and truly live the city. - never made it to the Davidson center. Thanks for this. Hope God soon everything will be normal again.
Thank you for the tour. I always wanted to visit Israel but won’t likely be able to in my life time. I am a senior and cannot afford to go nor my health to do all the walking up and down all those stairs. I pray for peace in Jerusalem. Soon Messiah will come.
Yes indeed 👍💯👍💯👍💯
THANK YOU FOR CURRENT UPDATES TAKING PLACE IN ARCHEOLOGICAL BIBLE FINDINGS ""OUTSTANDING ""👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯
Thankyou so very much, I love Israel, and I pray for Israel. I am a 80 yr old Christian who has visited Israel 2 times I would love to visit again, but with the Virus19 and I am getting older every day. I think it is possible I will not make it again. So I really do appreciate this video visit, and your lovely commentary. You point out things that I would miss. Thank you so very much, for showing me where Jesus walked. May you be Blessed.
Love the long videos of the Holy Land! Thank you for all the hard work and please continue showing us more of Jerusalem, God Bless you!
Thank you so much, I feel like I am there! You are fantastic!! God bless you and all of Jerusalem🙏
Bless you brother for taking us on a tour. I have never been there and probably never will be able to now thanks to the current situation. God mightily bless you for what you are doing my brother. This was fascinating.
Thank you for sharing with us. I'm an American and this is so very precious to me.
Beautiful and awesome sights you have taken me all the paths biblically. I thank you, appreciate and feel your joy. How I wish to be there. Adonai Elohim bless you, anoint you, strength, rejoice and stay healthy, Zahi. By the way, I am from Indonesia, churches of Indonesia LOVES and BLESS YISRAEL, Shalom.
Thank you for sharing! My heart is for Israel, the apple of God's eye. AMEN
Thank you for sharing this amazing tour. I visited the Davidson Center in 2007 as part of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and still remember how unbelievable it was to walk up those steps to the Huldah Gates. What a blessing! Of course, now, the excavation site is so much larger. I again thank you for this extended tour from the City of David to areas of Solomon's time. Shalom.
Shalom and thank you. We loved the history. Beautiful. Someday we will all be able to walk through the Gates again,
I was so blessed to be able to climb the Southern Steps and see Hulda Gate in 2012. Thank you for this wonderful guided tour, Zahi! You brought it all back, and took us to places that were not even excavated at that time! You are a Blessing!
I was last in Jerusalem in 1984. That was 37 years ago, and all of these excavations are new and spectacular! Thank you so much for taking the time to show all of us Israel's amazing past!
I've watched lots of videos on Jerusalem but you show things I've never seen before. Thank you!
Wow, thanks
It's wonderful for us that you can show us a tour without tourists filling/blocking the view. We can see things as they were; feels like we are there. Thank you so much. God bless & keep you safe.
Thank you so much. I’ve been to Israel three times but have not been to the Ophel. What a privilege to watch your video and feel like I was there with you. God bless you my friend. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you for walking us through history - ancient and more recent - and giving us an inkling of the splendour and magnificence of Jewish history etched on the face of the Promised Land for people of all time to witness, and authenticate the Prophets, the Judges and the Kings, and make the Biblical records come alive. I wish more people could visit your site and experience what I have. Shalom, my brother! Keep up your good work!
Kind sir, thank you so very much for sharing the beauty and history of the Holy Land. I am a Christian man living in Florida. I doubt I’ll ever be able to visit Israel and still, your videos make me feel a greater connection. The reverence with which you bring it all to us is refreshing and reverent. God Bless you Zahi. You are the vessel carrying His Blessing to all of us.
Thank you very much for this wonderful tour and sharing the history of the Holy Land. Especially appreciated your effort of walking us through the summer heat. It is a previlage to watch this Holy Land! God Almighty bless you.
An immense archaeological park, almost a city, with the succession of various historical periods. A spectacular vision to be admired for this discovery.😍🏛Fortunately the stones are well preserved😊. Shalom Zahi, thanks for your effort even in scorching heat 🥵☀️

This is so interesting. I stuck through the whole video and enjoyed every minute. Thanks for showing us places that the tourist can't go. Amazing. I love this era.
Thank you for the tour. I live in South Carolina USA. & have been to Israel twice. Seeing Jerusalem one more time is on my bucket list. I would have been back by now had it not been for Covid. Lord willing it will be soon
I'm filled with wonder watching this. How amazing it would be to be there! I pray the tourists would come soon and they get to enjoy your tours again.

Thank you for this my friend! May the God of Israel shine the light of His blessing upon you as you go out and as you come in, to prosper you according to the riches of His provision for us.
Thank you so much!! This is a great alternative to being there, thank you for explaining what we’re seeing
Hello Hello 👋 my friend Zahi ( from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for the excellent tour. My wife and I visited Israel in 1994 with the Institute of Holy Land Studies (called JUC today). In 2001 we went back for another 2 weeks. There were very few tourists in 2001 after the intifada. I would love to return again but I'm getting too old for all the climbing. So, watching your videos is a great substitute and gives me the satisfaction of being there again. It's amazing how much more has been excavated. Thank you again.
Thank you
Thank you so much for a beautiful tour, I enjoyed it so much, I am learning so much from you.
Todah Raba for what you are doing! I'm incredibly blessed seeing your videos
I follow all the way I love these sights and glad you had the wisdom to not be deceived in false teachings as saved Arabs are some of the most powerful Christians I have met blessings and thank you so much really enjoy all your work
Praise God, these stones proves the God of Israel gave evidence of Israel's right to theHoly Land. Israel and they have the right tolivethere. Havebeen to Israel butwas not able tosee the entirety of the walls surrounding the temple mount.
I Love Israel. Thank you so much for sharing your video. I wish I could visit Israel someday. God bless Israel, and God Bless you today and always, Brother!
This is the missing piece in my our pilgrimage to the Holy Land… saw the steps from the tour bus only…amazing archeological finds… thank you for the tour
Amazing!! IT is the prove that Jerusalem is a Jewish city! The bible Comes alive! Thank you for showing IT all! Shalom! ❤️🇮🇱❤️
Same for me Liza. Great video. I do wish that you would go to bed tonight, come back to Jerusalem tomorrow morning (with your camera), and ALL of the walled up gates would be miraculously reopened by God. One day soon! May our Lord bless you.
I love watching your videos and thank you for being able to share Jerusalem and Israel and the footsteps of the Lord with us. I hope you can get back to tourists soon but hope you can also keep doing the video tours and talks. God bless you and your family. 🙏
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s even more old ruins of buildings beneath the modern city today..
And there could be a lot more too,
Amazing! Thank you! I was at the southern wall on the 9th Av in 2019, fasting together with a Christian group with the Jewish people. Since then so many things have changed. Can’t wait to come again to this most special of all special places!
Thank you, Zahir, for showing me another part of Jerusalem and the temple. You take care and God bless amen. ❤🙏✝️🔯🙏❤
Thank you so much for showing us Israel.
Thanks sir. So informative...GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS
All them videos I've seen so far are just meserizing so beautiful and so much history and your clearly explained it very well done!!!!!!
God bless you all and thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you! This has been wonderful! I was in Israel & Palestine for three short weeks in the summer of 1999. The time flew by. Your video of the Temple mount brought it all back; thank you as well for your informed commentary, I am a Christian who loves her Jewish sisters and brothers (we have so much to learn from each other -- and Muslims, too). You brought the site of the Second Temple to life and made it live again.תודה Colleen Fay.
Thank you for this tour! I have not been there since 1988. So much has changed!
Shalom Zahi. I watched your video to the end. I never dared to hope that I could see this part of ancient Jerusalem but you have taken me on tour. Thank you very much.
What an excellent video. I have never seen this part of the walls. I watched this on my t.v.and had to come back on the phone to make a comment. If I ever get to go there I will buy you a coffee!
Zahi , I have been watching your videos and I am very impressed and encouraged by what you believe and say, even the one spoken of in a lowered volume of your voice, and I do understand your reasons.
I know the truth will prevail, and the reality will be brought to the cleansing light of truth, and fear will be removed.
HASHEM bless and keep you all your days.
I was there over 3 years ago. It changed my life and direction 😍
Brilliant!! I've wondered for a long time how to get to this area where the Southern Stairs are located. I wondered why it always looked closed from the roadside. Now I know! Buy a ticket at the city of David. Thanks once again Zahi. Superb video! 😀👍🇬🇧🇮🇱
Glad I could help!
Thank you! I learn so much from you! I appreciate you, Sir.
Many thanks for showing us the many truths of the Jewish Temples on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Much digging within the City of David since my visit to the Holy Land in 2018 , exposing so much more. Peace be with you and your family.
Thank you Zahi Shaked for allowing me to walk with you and for showing me this astonishing video I felt I was in the presence of the Lord and I can’t wait to be with him and to see you in heaven. This is such a wonderful place there is nowhere else on earth as beautiful, may the Lord bless you and your family thank you for all that you are doing and these videos will touch the hearts of all and they to will be blessed.
Thank you brother& wonderful video..🌟Amaizing 🌟✨✨💙
Dear Zahi, Thank you so much for this tour and all of the information you gave us today. It’s been a life long dream to go tour the Holy Land but as I am 70 now and it doesn’t seem to be a very safe place to go in person at this time in history . I am so grateful for you. I will be looking for more videos from you. Please watch your step my brother as some places look a little rough. You don’t want to fall and break something. With love and appreciation, Audrey from Canada
I love your work thank you for sharing with the world .love from the USA 🇺🇸
Thanks
Absolutely breathtaking - literally! I was lounging on my bed when I began looking at this, but I had to sit up when you walked through the tunnel. It took my breath away! This was a great tour. I felt like I was there in person. Thank you for sharing this amazing video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾!
I watch your videos all the time and this is one of my favorites. Keep up the good work and thank you for what you do.
