For a trip to Jerusalem, a skirt is required for a woman, or can you go in trousers, taking with you, for example, a pareo?

We were in Jerusalem in the spring of 2010. A woman should have her shoulders and knees covered, and a scarf on her head.

Moreover, for men, too, shoulders and knees should be covered.

Thank you
one thing is not clear: covered with a skirt or trousers?
it's just that in Orthodox churches a woman should be in a skirt

You answered your own question. In the Orthodox - a skirt. I thought this question has an unambiguous solution (except for pants under a skirt or a pareo).

We went to Jerusalem in early June. A woman should cover her legs and shoulders with clothes (the tummy, of course, is also covered). Whether you wear a skirt or trousers, it doesn't matter. I was wearing a three-quarter sleeve tunic and trousers. It was cool to watch how our tourists, dressed in beach clothes, wrap themselves in faded hotel towels in temples (like covering bare parts of the body). And they end up looking like bums. People do not disgrace the State !!!

"it's just that in Orthodox churches a woman should be in a skirt"
Is this described somewhere in the original sources? Did Jesus personally say "women, don't wear pants"? But Maria didn’t know, she spent her whole life in pants :))

I rode in breeches below the knee, the shoulders were closed, but the sleeves were short. At the Wailing Wall, they put on a pink tunic on me to completely hide my hands. They didn't say anything about pants. And the guide said that you can wear trousers and without a scarf on your head. They allow it. So you can not take a pareo.

I was also in trousers and without a headscarf, in a T-shirt. no one will tell you anything, the girl in our group was in a miniskirt and nothing. dress how you feel comfortable.
Keep in mind that Jerusalem is colder than Egypt.
We traveled from Sharm in mid-April. It's good that they put on the jackets in which they flew in))) it was 5 degrees of heat in total. In the morning. It is warmer during the day, but the tour starts early in the morning.
Have a nice rest!

I did not feel the difference in air temperature, but in the temple, in the Palestinian territory, one man was given a note for a very short sleeve on his T-shirt. So he went further in the pareo.

I was also in Jerusalem this summer and I agree that women's knees and shoulders should be covered, it is not necessary to be in a skirt, cover your head too. The girl in the miniskirt was just lucky, because they could just be taken out of the temple. In our group, they approached and talked about inappropriate clothing even among children, and if people hadn’t corrected the situation, they would have had to leave the Temple. they are not so strict requirements for clothing. In general, I want to say that you are going to a holy place and you should dress as you see fit. If you are just going on an excursion, this is one thing, but if you are still going to the Temple of God, then all the canons must be observed.
