Here we offer a unique tour, consisting of two parts. It will begin with a short guided tour, after which your pupils will be given a treasure hunt to complete in the shortest time possible. In this way, they will develop skills such as observation and concentration, and discover for themselves details of the Wall previously unknown to them.
