Bethany

Bethany, locally known as al-Eizariya, is a Palestinian town situated on the southeastern slope of the Mount of Olives, less than 3.2 km from East Jerusalem. It holds significant religious importance as the traditional site of Lazarus's resurrection, attracting pilgrims to the Tomb of Lazarus. As the second-largest city in the Quds Governorate, it offers a unique blend of spiritual heritage and historical depth. For hotel travelers, its proximity to Jerusalem makes it a quiet yet culturally rich base, ideal for those seeking to explore biblical history away from the bustling city center.

Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Stay near the town center or the slopes of the Mount of Olives for easy walking access to the Tomb of Lazarus and other religious sites. This area offers a peaceful atmosphere while remaining close to key historical landmarks.

Getting Around

There is no IATA code for a local airport. The town is easily accessible from Jerusalem, making it suitable for day trips combined with stays in the capital. Local exploration is best done on foot or by taxi due to the compact size of the town.

Best Season

Spring and autumn offer mild weather, ideal for outdoor pilgrimage and sightseeing. Summers can be hot, so it is advisable to avoid midday activities and plan indoor visits during peak heat hours.
