Is this your business?Claim it freeA heritage centre in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, telling the story of the Karaite community through guided tours.
Its website says the centre presents broad historical material on the Karaite community and its contribution to the history of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel and in the diaspora, and to the life of Jerusalem. It offers guided tours of about 45 minutes for individuals and groups, and tells the story of the Karaite synagogue in Jerusalem, which it says is the oldest in the city, founded in the 8th century. Visitors pay 20 shekels for an adult and 18 for a child, student or pensioner, with the guided tour included, and a group rate is given when booking. It is open Sunday to Thursday 08:30 to 16:30, and on Friday by prior arrangement.
