Hello, How are you? My name is Nissim and I am a tour guide and a lecturer in Jerusalem, Israel. I grew up in Paris, France in the local Jewish community and after high school I began studying in the faculty of law of La Sorbonne University. But it wasn't enough and I decided to immigrate to Israel. I served for 5 years in the IDF as an infantry officer, (Now I am a reserve infantry officer with the rank of Major) I got myself a BA in History and International Relations from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and study Political Sciences. Before being a tour guide I worked in NGOs management. Now, in the last few years, I am a licensed tour guide. I studied 2 and a half years to get my license and be able to have the pleasure to guide you in the country and the city I love the most. What I am loving as being a guide is to be this guy who knows a lot about a lot and know how to use his knowledge from completely differents fields (History, Archeology, Science, Politics, Law, Sociology, Religions etc) to build a Story that will give you a real understanding of the place. It is like a tapestry that I will woven with you. From threads to patterns and from patterns to a big picture that people can understand and appreciate its beauty and complexity. And there is no country as beautiful and as complex as Israel and in Israel there is no city as beautiful and as complex as Jerusalem. The Bible, The three abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianism and Islam), the Jewish story and History, one of the most mediatised conflict in the world, clashes and mixings of cultures from all over the world, the city with the biggest number of archeology sites from so many different times and civilizations, the Holy sepulchre and the Temple Mount, old and new etc etc. All of it at the same address: Jerusalem. In the last 20 years I am not just living in Jerusalem but I am living it and I'll be so glad to introduce you to my beloved city. Together we can tour the Old City, the local market with the best food in the world, the Temple Mount or the main archeological site (most of it underground and part of it in the water) of Jerusalem, the City of David. But don't forget that as a private tour guide, I can be completely flexible and we can completely customise your experience in Jerusalem , and even visit other parts of my beautiful country. See you soon Nissim Licensed tour guide I am not working on Saturday

A holy city for the three monotheistic religions, the most sensitive city in the world, come and discover my city, Jerusalem. I will show you the old town where, over 1 square kilometre, all the conflicts and all the harmonies are found. According to Judaism, here the universe was created and god stopped Abraham before killing his son. Here the two Jewish temples stood and the King David chose to place his capital. Here King Hezekiah fought the Assyrians and here King Herod collaborate with the Romans. According to Christianism, here Jesus was judged and crucified, came back to life and ascend to the sky. Here the Crusaders came. According to Islam, here Mohamed met God. Here Muslim empires rule for 1200 years. Here you will find Jews and Arabs, Muslims and Christians: Armenians, Ethiopians, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Coptes etc. And I did not even begin to explain this city. The most complicated but the most fascinating in the world!
Together we will visit the important places of the old city: - the Jaffa Gate, - the citadel of the Tower of David, - the Holy Sepulcher, - the Christian, Armenian, Muslim and Jewish quarters, - the archaeological sites and the Western Wall. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
