Located on a kibbutz are several cheap hotels in Ma'ale HaHamisha between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. A popular resting spot, this kibbutz is centrally located and an excellent base for those wishing to explore the wonders of Jerusalem and its surrounding areas. For example, it is only a short trip to David's Tomb, a building where tradition says the Last Supper was held and David's tomb resides. Katros House, also known as the Burnt House, is another exciting attraction worth visiting. Formally owned by a famous family mentioned in the Talmud, the Katros House was burned during Roman times. Visitors will see earthenware vessels, furniture, and coins that have survived.

Discount hotels in Ma'ale HaHamisha are near other famous historical sites such as the Jerusalem Gate, the Dome of the Rock, and the Temple Mount. The Gate of Domizion is built on the site where Mary is said to have fallen asleep on the stairs before ascending to heaven. Visitors can see the stairs and tour the church.
