I'm knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about Israel and would be delighted to show you the country. I was born in Israel but grew up in Ottawa, Canada, so I am a native English speaker. I have lived in Jerusalem with my family for more than 25 years and have been a licensed guide for more than 15 years.

Covid-19: I have had 2 vaccine shots plus a 3rd & 4th booster as recommended by the Israel Ministry of Health. Israel is a deeply fascinating and varied country, as your guide I'll make sure you get the most out of your trip. I have created a set of special tours for ToursByLocals combining Archaeology, Art and Architecture; Religion, History and Culture. Here is a list of tours that I specialize in (if you can't find them on the TbL site please message me for more information).

Israel Through the Lens of a Camera
Overview of your Jerusalem tour
As a experienced guide and photographer I am able to offer unique and personalized tours of Israel where you will be able to get the photos you are looking for. Israel consists of a very broad range of geography, coast, desert, mountains and forests in a very small area. So if you are interested in photographing nature and landscapes, you've come to the right place! Did you know that twice a year over 500 million birds fly over Israel? So there are great opportunities for bird photography. If street photography is more your style, you will love the colourful markets and people. A modern country in an ancient homeland, made up of people who have come from all over the world has infused Israel with a rich visual culture. With thousands of years of history and conquest you will have the opportunity to explore and take photos of some of the world's most famous historical/archaeological sites. In the modern period there is interesting eclectic and Bauhaus architecture to photograph.

I offer one day tours to the following locations: • Jerusalem • Tel Aviv • Dead Sea: Wadi Qelt, En Gedi, Nahal Peratzim Two day tours • Negev desert: Ein Avdat, Makhtesh • Hula Lake Three day tours and more. . .
