Dress Code:

There is no strict dress code when visiting the temples of Jerusalem, as they are open to Christians of all faiths who have different traditions. For example, Catholic and Protestant women do not cover their heads in church. Orthodox Greek women adhere to the same tradition. In Russian tradition, it is customary to wear a headscarf in church. Therefore, in any of the temples in Jerusalem, you can meet women both with a covered head and with an uncovered one.
The same applies to trousers and skirts. Feel free to dress how you feel comfortable.
The only thing that is inappropriate when visiting temples is open knees and shoulders, so shorts and sleeveless jackets will have to be left for visiting another place.

All the visited sites are spread at a wide area at different locations and altitudes, and comfortable footwear is a necessity.
