Stationnement
There is no easy parking at the site. The Karta and Mamilla paid lots by Jaffa Gate are about a 20-minute walk (the park itself suggests taking a taxi from there); the small Mount Zion / David's Tomb lot is about 9 minutes away but has very few spaces. Coming by bus or light rail, or by taxi through Jaffa Gate, is usually less painful than driving.
Y aller
Buses 1, 3, 38 and 2 serve the Western Wall; from the Kotel it is a 2-minute walk out through Dung Gate. Taxis may drive in through Jaffa Gate at any hour.
Temps à prévoir1.5-2 hours for the self-guided route ÂgesTunnel entry is recommended from age 5. Physically demanding: many steps, a steep ridge and a long narrow underground tunnel with water up to about 70 cm deep. Intérieur ou extérieurIntérieur et extérieur Chabbat et fêtesFermé Meilleur momentEarly morning in summer; the ridge is exposed with little shade. Avoid chol hamoed, when the tunnels are at their most crowded. AccessibilitéNot wheelchair or stroller accessible - the official route description states it includes steps and walking in an underground tunnel.
Conseils d'initiés
  • Book a time slot online; last entry to the water tunnel is 1.5 hours before closing.
  • Hezekiah's Tunnel holds water up to ~70 cm - wear shoes that can get wet and pack a change of clothes.
  • Prefer to stay dry? Take the Canaanite tunnel instead; same site, no wading.
  • A ₪7 shuttle saves the steep climb back up from the Pool of Siloam.
  • Closes 14:00 Friday and all Shabbat, so Friday visits must start early.
