You descend down a short ramp to reach the Wailing Wall. There are two areas along the Wall. One for men and a small area for women. I did not like the idea of a small area for women. The women's area was crowded and hard to find space at the wall. The men's area was active but not crowded. The wall is 105 feet tall from the bottom of its foundations. The construction made with smaller stones at the top is from a later date, starting about the 7th century.
