As Israel prepares to welcome Prince William<\/strong> in the first official visit by a member of the British Royal Family, tourists and locals can enjoy the atmosphere and get into the royal spirit right now at Jerusalem\u2019s iconic landmark, the Tower of David, in the heart of Jerusalem\u2019s Old City.<\/p>\n

Tower of David by day<\/p><\/div>\n

No historical person more connected to Jerusalem than King David<\/strong>
\nLaunched on April 1, the spectacular King David night experience is a show of breathtaking originality and dazzling innovation, charting the journey from shepherd-to-king of the globally recognised David. \u201cThere is no historical person more connected to Jerusalem than the biblical figure of King David,\u201d added Eilat Lieber, Director of the Tower of David Museum. An inspiration for the world\u2019s most famous artists, great painters and sculptors for centuries, David is significant in Judaism as the father of the Davidic dynasty, an instrumental figure in Christianity and one of the ancient prophets in Islam.<\/p>\n

This dramatic and novel cinematic experience combines the newest technology in one of the oldest locations in the city to bring to life the majestic and engaging story of David, from shepherd-to-king. Beamed onto the walls and excavations of this ancient citadel, this is close an event to time travel as you will get without the DeLorean car in Back to the Future or Dr Who\u2019s TARDIS. The result draws in the young and fascinates the old in one of the most memorable attractions in the city<\/a>, under the stars of the Jerusalem night sky.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s growth in creativity<\/strong>
\nMayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat explained: \u201cwe are constantly developing innovative urban models to advance the city\u2019s growth in creativity and the arts.\u201d And this was certainly innovative. The show is screened using a sophisticated computer system installed the throughout the courtyard and utilizes
\n18 Lumen Single Chip M-Vision laser projectors, 20 speakers and 10 kilometers of cable to broadcast a technicolor experience of 250,000 lumens and 35 million pixels.<\/p>\n

Using advanced laser technology, these projectors, provided by Manchester-based Digital Projection, have an operational life of 20,000 hours, up to 40 times longer than traditional projection lamps. The Tower of David will have to change the whole system before it needs to change a lightbulb by 2028!<\/p>\n

With a hardware investment of close to $750,000, this national heritage and archaeological site still had to overcome the lack of visual documents to tell the story and tapped into the many artistic interpretations from well-known artists such as Chagall, Rembrandt, Matisse and Caravaggio \u2013 as well as Jewish and Christian medieval illuminations and Ethiopian representations.<\/p>\n

On arrival to the citadel, take a short tour through the pathways of the Tower of David, which have witnessed war and peace, destruction and rebuilding. Enjoy the show set against the backdrop of the archaeological findings that bear witness to the history of Jerusalem \u2013 from the walls of the Crusaders 13th century to the remains of the Herod\u2019s guard rooms from 2,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Take advantage of this new King David show to visit the Tower\u2019s museum during the daytime and take in the history inside the citadel\u2019s walls before climbing a short staircase to take in a 360-degree panoramic view of Jerusalem, with the view of the Old City, the King David Hotel<\/a>, the flagship of the four Dan Hotels<\/a> in Jerusalem \u2013 Dan Boutique, Dan Panorama Jerusalem\u00a0and the Dan Jerusalem, close to the Tower of David. From the top of the Tower ,you can also see the Judean Desert and Mount of Olives, where Prince William\u2019s great-grandmother, Princess Alice of Battenberg is buried – at the Church of Mary Magdalene \u2013 after rescuing Jewish families during the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

While His Royal Highness may not relate to having been the young shepherd King David was in his formative years, maybe one day, we will see Prince William pixelated and beamed on the exteriors of Buckingham Palace. Maybe \u2013 Or maybe, he might just catch the show himself when he visits in the summer?<\/p>\n

The King David Night Experience runs twice a night on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
