I started out my career as a field guide at the Ein Gedi Field Study Center on the shores of the Dead Sea, which I later became the manager of. With time the shores of the Dead Sea have shifted, as have I. I have worked at the Ministry of Environment, at the Society for Protection of Nature in Israel, at the Technion Institue and at EU funded projects to promote the protection of nature and the environment. I coordinated the first policy in Israel to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions, the first policy of Sustainable Development and more. If you look at the state of the environment, one might say that I have sort of failed. . . Now, after many years of guiding people as a hobby, I am a certified tour guide who does not aim to compete with other tour guides in remembering dates of events. I compete with them to provide my partners to the tour (you) with an enjoyable experience from which they will come out feeling, knowing and understanding (for example in Jerusalem) much better than when they enterd the Old City several hours earlier, and to make sure that they have had an enjoyable experience.

Overview of your Jerusalem tour

In this one hour virtual live tour we will visit some sections of the Old City of Jerusalem - the Armenian, Jewish, and Christian quarters and a magnificent view point from the rooftops of the central market place. You will be able to see some of the unique sites of the Old City of Jerusalem and walk with me through the narrow alleys of the city. We will see the Armenian Jerusalem art, the Armenian St. James Cathedral, the Cardo - the Main St. of the Roman city of Jerusalem - as well as the wide wall built by King Hezekiah 2700 years ago in a time of urgency, also mentioned in the Bible, walk the market in the Moslem quarter and end at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at the Christian quarter.

Ra'anan was a information fire hose. Joyful, perfectly paced and a wonderful story teller. He pulled us virtually into his world and made us feel a part of it. We walked the streets with him, talked with him and learned with him. I highly recommend this tour! Do not miss it!

Raanan provided an excellent tour of Jerusalem. Our tour was in the evening and the streets were not crowded or busy. Raanan was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We lost connection briefly, but he was generous with his time and we were happy to stay with him over the appointed time. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of Jerusalem.
