Key attractions including the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre provide wheelchair access and ramps.

Several hotels cater specifically to accessibility needs such as the Leonardo Plaza in Jerusalem which provides easy access to major sites.

Most senior tours use 3-4 star hotels that come equipped with essential amenities like elevators air conditioning and private bathrooms.
