I'm a licensed English speaking Israeli tour guide and former architect registered with the Ministry of Tourism. My tours illuminate the HISTORY of the land from biblical times to the present by focusing on ARCHAEOLOGICAL remains & the diverse ARCHITECTURAL styles adopted by former and present day occupants. Tours can also include GEOLOGICAL phenomena such as the Dead Sea as well as AGRICULTURAL sites like the date plantations of the Jordan valley. In addition, I offer tours of LESSER KNOWN SITES of which there is an abundance throughout Israel as well as TOURS FOR THE ELDERLY who enjoy walking, but at a slower pace. I offer a FREE SERVICE in the designing of tour itineraries and I favour going to restaurants and markets frequented by locals and avoid shopping malls except for the Mamilla mall in Jerusalem which has an extensive history. All Tours are of one day duration but can be joined together to form an extended tour. On a personal note : I try to achieve an "informal atmosphere", hence all tours are restricted to SMALL GROUPS or INDIVIDUALS which facilitate discussion between participants. Masters Degree in Architecture - University of the Witwatersrand - South Africa. Completed the 2 year Tour Guide Course at the Lander Academic Institute - Jerusalem (2010). Licensed Tour guide registered with the Ministry of Tourism - Israel. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Haifa tour

MEGIDDO - Located in the Jezreel valley at a strategic junction on the Via Maris (the main ancient highway between Egypt & Syria). It is therefore a major archaeological site & is according to Protestant belief, the site of the final battle between good & evil, namely Armageddon. KIBBUTZ EIN SHEMER - Early 20th century attempts to establish a resident community on the site failed. During the British Mandate Period (1917-1948) a Zionist socialist workgroup arrived on site in 1921and established roots, as evidenced by the fortified courtyard. LUNCH: Humus lunch at a local resturant in the area. CAESAREA - Where King Herod worked his architectural magic developing the port/city which he dedicated to the Roman emperor Augustus Ceaser. Later additions were added by the Crusaders. The port/city has an extensive Jewish, Christian & Islamic history.
