In a city of three religions, it helps to have a reliable companion by your side. So much history unfolded in the Holy Land that it can be hard to make sense of it all on your own. Of course, you can read up before the trip or hire a private guide once you arrive, but it is far easier – and far more affordable – to download an audio guide to Jerusalem for iPhone or Android.

What exactly is it? Just press play on the audio track at the top of this page. It is a short excerpt from one of our stories. There are six in total: one overview of the city and five themed walks devoted to specific places – the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and more. These are not just stories sprinkled with interesting facts, but full-fledged guides that help you understand which places to visit, in what order, and what you should know before you go.

All these audio walks were created by people who know and love Jerusalem: a professional cultural historian, a voice artist, and a sound engineer. That is why we believe a price of $1 per walk is gentle even on the most budget-conscious traveler. We believe thoughtful, high-quality work deserves fair appreciation.

At the same time, the Jerusalem mobile audio guide costs far less than a traditional printed guidebook, an organized tour, or a private guide. In short, the choice is yours. For now, let us show you the routes you will find in the Ever.Travel app.

Where is the "fiery Gehenna," who will rise first on Judgment Day, and what is the best way to begin exploring Old Jerusalem? Start the audio guide and we will walk you through it all. We will also help you plan self-guided routes so you do not miss anything important or intriguing.
