President William Ruto joined other pilgrims at the Western Wall in Israel during his visit to the country.

Ruto who was accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto is seen bowing for a prayer at the site.

The site located in the old city of Jerusalem is the last remaining outer wall of the ancient Jewish temple and an incredibly important site of modern Israeli history.

It is free to visit for everyone and is open 24 hours.

To pray at the wall, women should have their legs and shoulders covered (scarves are provided at the site) while men should cover their heads.
