Shalom, my name is Shai, and I help people connect to The Land of Israel using their six senses. So what is the sixth sense, you're asking? Follow me, and I'll help you to find out. . . As a private tour guide, I create tailor-made tours according to the wishes of Jewish and Christian tourists. Special VIP treatment for businessmen coming from abroad. Even a single day can become a great experience. My latest book (2025), 'A Bridge to Your Roots,' connects the Bible to Israel's geography and delves into the social, religious, and historical backdrop of Jesus's time during the late Second Temple period. This isn’t just a travelogue—it’s a spiritual journey. Discover the depths of the Bible by connecting its stories to the geography of the Holy Land in its original setting. Uncover Israel’s rich history and the deeper meanings of biblical words through their Hebrew origins that illuminate the foundational meanings of biblical words. Inspired by Mark Twain’s 1867 journey, this book retraces his footsteps while uncovering hidden gems he missed. I create tour experiences and not merely sightseeing tours. . . Licensed tour guide in English and Hebrew -Incoming Tourism, Pilgrimage, off-the-beaten-path places… VIP special tours with luxury cars.

From Jerusalem or Tel Aviv on the Med. Sea to Masada on the Dead Sea
Overview of your Jerusalem tour
We drive eastwards, Jerusalem Mountains. We bypass Jerusalem from the North, start descending toward the Judean Desert. We pass by The Sea Level Point and go further east, going down to the Jordan Rift Valley. We visit Qumran National Park - Home of the Dead Sea Scrolls. We walk in the National Park, exploring the wonders of the Essenes, who might have dwelled here for some 2 thousand years ago. We continue to the south, getting to Masada National Park. A lofty plateau overlooking the Dead Sea, UNESCO has declared Masada National Park a World Heritage Site. We reach atop the plateau by a short cable car ride. We will visit Herod's palace, see nice mosaic floors, Fresco wall paintings and Stucco designs. We talk about the heroic battle that took place here some 1950 years ago between the Romans and the zealots, and about the symbolic value of Masada nowadays. We finish our visit to the desert region in floating in the Dead Sea, and drive back to the starting point.
