I am a 7th generation Israeli, a tour guide (since 1978) and an archaeologist (1985). Along these years I guided thousands of people. Guiding is my full-time work and passion. English (fluent), Mandarin Chinese and Hebrew (fluent). I am an expert in archaeology, history, bible (Old and New Testaments), wine tours, photography and birds watching. As a part of my PhD, I am excavating (4 seasons) at Kursi Beach, a biblical period port city on the eastern bank of the Sea of Galilee. For transportation on the tours, I use an authorized vehicle (by the Ministry of Tourism) for private tours - Chevrolet Suburban (1+7). My approach is realistic and traditional at the same time. I am funny, sensitive and very patient with my clients of all ages. I was an area manager on archaeological excavation sites, including the famous site at Shiloh. As the Head of the East Asia Department of the Israel School of Tourism (by Haifa University), I am leading Israeli tour guides in Chinese language and culture studies. I guide in Israel, Egypt and Jordan and lead groups to Europe, Morocco and on Mediterranean cruises. Key Contributions: • Educational approach of both realistic and traditional perspectives, using humor and sensitivity. • Combining vast knowledge of Israel's history and archaeology with computer skills, creating series of multimedia presentations of biblical archaeology. Presentations incorporate Biblical texts with archaeology and geography of ancient and contemporary Israel. • Adjusted approach to all ages and group structures. As an educator, guiding clients from different countries, religions and backgrounds. • Infusing my tourists and audience with love to Israel and its heritage All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions Licensed Tour Guide by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism Public Transportation Driver License Member of WFTGA - World Federation of Tourist Guide Association No restrictions apply to my tours

Caesarea, the 2, 000 year old city of Herod The Great, political, biblical, rich and enchanting, that influences us until today. Entering the city of Haifa , Mount Carmel welcomes you to visit Israel's third largest city. It sits on the slopes of the mountain, facing the Mediterranean Sea. It's an unusual city to navigate; however, the advantage is the stunning scenery and terrain. This tour is through modern Israel, but all about Bible, history, and nature. As an archaeologist of the biblical periods - this is my love and passion, combining biblical texts with reality of present Israel. After viewing the Bahai Gardens, we will drive around the natural bay to the biblical city of Akko; one of the most ancient port cities of the world, an old market, mosques, and some amazing restaurants create the unique atmosphere of this city. But under all of that - a Crusader, 1, 000 years old city is awaiting us. A site to be remembered. Continue to the breathtaking Rosh Hanikra - where the white rock 'kisses' the sea.
After pickup - drive north along the coast • Visit Caesarea - the theatre, hippodrome and the port area • Continue to Haifa - from atop Mt. Carmel, view the Bahai Gardens and Shrine, the holiest site of the Bahai religion, located on the hillside, overlooking the whole bay. • Drive around the bay to Akko. Walk through the colorful marketplace, visit the Knights' Halls and view the old port. • Take a short cable car ride to the grotto in the water - some amazing natural phenomena. Return to your hotel.
