My name is Rami, and I’m an authorized Oslo guide and professional driver. Although I wasn’t born in Norway, this country has truly become my home over the years. As a schoolboy, I was fascinated by the stories of polar explorers—especially Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen. Norway felt like a distant, almost mythical place back then. Today, I have the privilege of living here, guiding guests through the very streets connected to those stories, and even standing at the helm of the legendary Fram, the ship that reached both poles. I’d be happy to take you on a journey through time—from the Viking Age to modern Oslo—sharing both the well-known history and the smaller, local stories that bring the city to life. I hold the following degrees: Associate Engineer (Bachelor) in Photography and Digital Media from Hadassah College, Jerusalem Master’s degree in International Business and Marketing from Lauder Business School, Vienna

The Story of Carl Fredriksens Transport
Overview of your Oslo tour
If your group consists of 1–3 people, please let me know so I can offer you a reduced price. Hundreds of Jews managed to escape arrest and deportation in Nov 1942. Thanks to an extraordinary chain of events, the right people within the Norwegian resistance were found—people who organized the most effective rescue route to the Swedish border, later known under the codename Carl Fredriksens Transport. We will visit key locations in Oslo connected to Jewish history during the Nazi German occupation. After exploring the city’s wartime landmarks, we will continue toward the Swedish border. You will have the unique opportunity to follow the historic escape route taken by nearly 1,000 people—and even symbolically “cross into Sweden” as they once did on their path to freedom. Important Information: The final part of the tour goes through private property, and I cannot guarantee in advance that we will be allowed to drive this section. In the worst-case scenario, this may require walking up to a total of 4 km
