Tel-Aviv

Disembark in Israel's largest port of Ashdod for an exhilarating tour! From Ashdod we will travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to Jerusalem where we will start with my favourite panoramic lookout before descending into the many alleys of the ancient city! From the Mount of Olives Church we head to the Gardens of Gethsemane, Jewish Quarter and Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Temple Mount/Dome of the Rock (if open). We'll have time to explore the Arab souk (market), tasting from the local fare and strolling along off-the-beaten-path alleys that only a local would know. Get a taste of the rich cultural and religious diversity of this complex and compelling city as I share stories of peace seekers and conquerors, pilgrims and visionaries who have made an impact on this city. Before leaving Jerusalem, we will view the Knesset (Israel's Parliament building) and get a feel of the modern city.
Drop-off in Ashdod port.

Shore Excursion: Jerusalem Old City

Ramallah is the cultural, commercial and governmental hub of the Palestinian Territories, alive with liberalism and intellectualism. It is a loud, vibrant city from its historic market to its chaotic bus station and its hip downtown to its towering, glamorous hotels.

Almost operating within its own bubble, Ramallah is an eclectic hub of activity and continues to evolve with each day. Many of its residents are refugee families from Jerusalem and elsewhere in Palestine, who were forced to seek new lives in Ramallah and in doing so made it the Palestinian Authority's de facto capital.

Come with a local guide like me in order to discover Ramallah city's modern and vibrant life, and around the refugee camps, as well the paradoxical reality of walls, fences, checkpoints and Jewish settlements. Join me on this unique journey!

VIP - Highlights of Jerusalem in a private guided tour

This tour is one of my absolute favorites in Israel, and you might wonder why. It's because, in just one day, you'll experience a diverse array of fascinating sites.

We'll start with Caesarea, the ancient Roman city built by King Herod over 2,000 years ago, which served as the capital for more than six centuries. Next, we'll visit Haifa, where you'll be captivated by the stunning Baha'i Gardens and the charm of the German Colony.

Then, we'll explore Akko, the ancient Phoenician city that has witnessed the rise and fall of various empires, from the Greeks and Romans to the Muslims and Crusaders, eventually falling under British control. Today, Akko is recognized as one of the most well-preserved Crusader cities in the Middle East.

We'll conclude the day by heading back home, enriched by the history and beauty we've encountered.

Explore Baha'i Gardens, Aljazzar Mosque, Daher Elomar and MORE!

I have had many clients who want to be exposed to both the Jewish and christian highlights in the country.

Most people require at least 2 days to discover the colors of Jerusalem. Come and experience floating on the Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth more than 400 meter below sea level. Visit Qumran and learn about the Dead Sea scrolls. Enjoy the beautiful water falls of Ein Gedi and climb Masada the last stronghold of the Jewish revolt built by Herod the great.
