The Western Wall, Wailing Wall or Kotel is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple's courtyard, and is arguably the most sacred site recognized by the Jewish faith outside of the Temple Mount itself.

The holiest shrine in the Jewish world. If you’re lucky, your visit might coincide with a Bar Mitzvah celebration, which regularly take place here. Read more at http://bit.ly/1iLmYRx
I stood watching as people scribbled fears, hopes dreams & regrets on2 scraps of paper, folded them &tucked them in2 the tiny crevices of the wall. Skeptic or believer. There is power in this place.
Regardless of your feeling towards (any) religion this location has been heralded for centuries and there is some feeling of spirituality in the air
The holiest site in Judaism!! It is always so impactful, powerful, and inspiring to pray here & simply think about life, being Jewish, and just being in the Holy Land.
This place has beed taken hostage by the Ultra Orthodox Jews. And they're the ones who makes the rules here. Reform Jewish Women are discriminated here. Only the Superior Men have shade & women "0".
Men on one side, women on the other. Bring a scarf to cover your head. Walk backwards away from the wall to a respectful distance to leave.
Did you know that the Western Wall is the last remains of the second temple ? This is a site that our passengers love to visit!
Well , you have to thank the great one when you’re near the holy of Holies. Amazing place thousands of years of history
Amazing location with so much historical significance
One of the holiest place for us, happy and excited to visit
Amazing place for prayer ????
Don't forget to check on the left side, inside the wall.
Check out the Western Wall on a Friday at dusk... although you won't be able to take pictures, the Shabbot celebration is truly magical.
Even you don’t feel anything, when you pray here you will be full of peace and happiness!
Regardless of religion or belief, a place full of spirituality. Mind blowing like the whole city
Leave a note in the wall with your prayers
Emotional and breathtaking even though I'm not Jewish. I went there on Shabbat and I did touch the wall and stuck my prayers in it.
Interesting spectacle on Friday evenings - get there between 6-7pm!
Nice to visit, but they keep separated man and women, which nowadays is senseless.
There's an airport-like security check before you get in, but definitely worth the hassle. Great place.
Probably one of the top 10 things to do in the Old City
For everyone, even for none-religious.
The holiest place in Jerusalem. Emotional & excited to be here.
The Kotel tunnel tour is a must
Beautiful place. Impressive no matter your beliefs.
If you are reading Foursquare tips at The Kotel you might be secular
Get a chair, sit down and enjoy the spectacle.
Bring along a paper and pen write ur wish and stick to the wall
You can't take photos on Friday afternoon or Saturday because its Shabbat.
A must stop whenever visiting Jerusalem
Hey!! Nice place, but the jewels don't allow you to take pictures.
Feel the history breathing from every pore of this fantastic city .
An awe inspiring place in the heart of Jerusalem, Israel
Please respect the local rules! Proceed to the Wailing Wall only if you wear a hat.
Great experience. Very spiritual.
Guys go from the left and girls go from the right, don't make the mistake like me.....
After the liberation of the Kotel in 1967 a half-million Jews observed the Mitzvah of Tefillin at the Western Wall: Read more
Dress conservatively, saw people walking backwards ????. The men and women areas are seperate. Don't ask for directions to masjid- aqsa????. You will get dirty looks if not get ignored. No smoking.
The centrum for Jewish people,
The plaza in front of the wall is divided into 2 sections, one for men, the other for women. Read more
Great place
Very surreal experience.
Must see for everyone
no photos allowed on sabbath (saturday), never the less maybe the most impressive time to visit the western wall
Wonderful place! :)
Mens side left corner- there is an area where you can go in that has amazing AC in the back!
Don't come in the middle of the night when it's super quiet and almost noone is there - that's my reserved time ;)
Did you know the Western wall is 488m long?
Make sure to tour the tunnels under te Kotel
