If you’re into the history of Jesus’ time; this is a very informative experience. However, there was no air conditioning in the building and it was packed with people so needless to say it was extremely hot.

Our tour guide was great and very thorough. We did notice that some men wore shorts which we thought were not acceptable. Those men were still allowed to enter the museums
