VR will offer visitors the chance to actually see how ancient cities looked hundreds of years ago, thanks to virtual reality tours based on architectural reconstructions done by professional archaeologists.

The ToD Innovation Lab in the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem’s Old City will launch a VR tour of the city for the holiday of Sukkot, a Jewish holiday that celebrates the gathering of the harvest, which this year takes place September 23 to September 30.

The tour will offer VR re-construction of nine historical interest points including the citadel, the Old City’s Jewish Quarter and the Second Jewish Temple. At each point, visitors will simply need to wear their VR goggles to suddenly see ancient ruins turned into soaring towers or buzzing marketplaces.
