It’s a nighttime extravaganza, complete with acrobats, theatre, circus tricks, stories and a great battle good and evil, with the Knights of the night protecting the Old City of Jerusalem from the Knights of Hell and their cadre of dragons.  Who shall emerge victorious, good or evil?  You’ll have to come and watch this sword fighting, dragon slaying adventure in order to know.

Get ready to learn about Jerusalem with an awesome street theatre performance.  This is the ultimate family activity if you have a few hours after dinner and before bedtime.  Come with the kids right after dinner and watch a two-hour tour and performance near Jaffa Gate (held on Yehudim 70 street.)

Actors will introduce you to the history of Jerusalem, dating as far back as the days of the Ancient temple of Jerusalem and into the 19th century.  Also brought to you by the Prime Minister’s Office, Jerusalem Development Authority and the Jerusalem City Municipality, this initiative is meant to not only inform and educate, but also to entertain and delight.

Actors and trained guides will help you get acquainted with Jerusalem’s leading historical figures, as well as ancient tales of old, a professional tour and all of the history about Jerusalem that you always wanted to learn.  At 45 shekels a tour, it’s not only an affordable opportunity to explore the Old City of Jerusalem, but educational and entertaining.

Again, it gets rather chilly in the Old City of Jerusalem in the fall and winter, and especially in the evening, so be sure to bring sweaters for the entire family.
