Summary
This Globe Trekker episode follows Zay Harding's trip to the Holy Lands, where he explores the religious and historical sites and the political tensions between Israel and Palestine. In the ancient city of Jerusalem he visits the iconic Dome of The Rock, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Western Wall, gets a lesson in orthodox Judaism, and walks through one of the oldest cemeteries in the world. Zay then takes a local bus past separation walls and military check points to the Palestinian West Bank and the bustling city of Ramallah. He visits the father of the Palestinian Liberation Movement, Yasser Arafat's tomb and chats with some of the locals before checking out the extraordinary graffiti along its separation wall. To end his journey Zay travels to the lowest place on earth and takes a swim in the Dead Sea.
