Rustic Rooftop Picnic amidst Jerusalem's History
Experience the old city of Jerusalem in a brand new light. This date involves exploring the historic nooks and crannies of the town, followed by an intimate, rustic picnic on a beautiful rooftop, overlooking the city's amazing views.
- Start the day by taking a stroll through the ancient streets of Jerusalem, soaking in the timeless beauty of the city. Learn about the rich history of the city, stopping by landmarks like the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
- As the hustle and bustle of the city fades away, find yourself lost in a labyrinthine alley leading to the rooftop. Here, you'll find a rustic, cozy setting ready for your intimate picnic, complete with a basket full of delicious, local Israeli treats.
- Spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the meal, gazing at the panoramic view of the city. As the sun sets, watch the cityscape transform, casting a golden hue on the ancient stone structures, making for the perfect romantic moment to wrap up the day.
Preparation steps:
- This date requires a bit of preparation. Pack a picnic basket with local treats like falafel, pita bread, olives, and hummus. Don't forget a blanket, a bottle of wine, and a pair of binoculars to get a better view of the city.
- Before your date, ensure to do a little research on the city's history. This will help you make the most of your visit to the landmarks.
- Finally, check the weather beforehand. Jerusalem weather can be unpredictable, and you'd want to be dressed appropriately for the exploration and the picnic.
Some tips:
- Walking shoes are a must, considering you'll be exploring the city on foot.
- Be respectful of the local customs and traditions; remember to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious landmarks.
- While this date idea is designed for anytime, we suggest starting in late afternoon to capture the historic city in daylight and transitioning into the magical hour of sunset for your rooftop picnic.
