Day one starts at 7:00 at the Temple Mount, then the Mount of Olives and the City of David. Day two leaves the walls for Yad Vashem, the Israel Museum and Mahane Yehuda. Plan both for Sunday to Thursday, as the Temple Mount closes to visitors on Fridays and Saturdays and the museums and market close for Shabbat. The last day stays inside the Old City, and works on Shabbat.
Yes, for the Old City and the main museums. Add a day for Masada and the Dead Sea.
Yes, but only in short, limited windows on some weekdays, through the Mughrabi Gate, and it can close without notice. Check current times and expect security checks and a dress code.
Cover shoulders and knees at all religious sites. Carry a scarf for extra cover.
Much of West Jerusalem, including the light rail and many restaurants, stops from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. Plan the Old City for those hours.
