Things to do near Ashdod

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Ashdod, along with a brief description:

♦ Jerusalem’s Old City

Religious sites are the main attraction of any stop in Jerusalem, as it is also often called “The Holy Land.” If you’re looking to experience the best religious sites, then Jerusalem’s Old Town is not one you want to miss. Since the Old Town is very large, it is generally divided into the Jewish Quarter, Christian Quarter, Arab Quarter and Armenian Quarter. Among the many holy sites, you can experience the Western Wall, Dome of the Rock (accessible to Muslim tourists only), Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and more. The Jewish Quarter is so spectacular that it’s worth its own exploration. Throughout the Old City, you can find souvenir shops and restaurants. Guided tours are available (highly recommend) and if you choose to explore on your own, maps are available.

♦ Museums

Ashdod is filled with many interesting museums! If you’re looking to broaden your perspective of the world before heading to Jerusalem, museums are a great place to begin. The Museum of Philistine Culture is one of Ashdod’s most popular museums, featuring interactive cultural exhibits (for example, you can try on clothes such as the ones worn by old-world Philistines, or try their local cuisine). Art lovers cannot miss the Ashdod Museum of Art, which houses 12 galleries of spectacular international works of art. If you want to stop by some museums in Jerusalem, among the best ones are The Israel Museum (containing the Dead Sea Scrolls), Yad Vashem, Bible Lands Museum, and the Museum for Islamic Art.

♦ The Dead Sea

While spending time in Jerusalem, you’ll have the opportunity to tour (and even swim in) the Dead Sea! There is a great number of guided Dead Sea tours that leave from Jerusalem every day. Some tours also combine other attractions, making for great full-day experiences. Of course, you can also visit yourself and spend time on its many public beaches. The Dead Sea is famous for its numerous healing properties and the fact that you can naturally float in the water! Plus, there are many other attractions located within close proximity, such as the ancient fortress Masada (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and Ein Gedi National Park.
