I am a Palestinian Christian licensed tour guide from Bethlehem. I studied and graduated from Dar Alkalima University in tourism studies as a tour guide and I have been working as a Palestinian tour guide since 2012. I became a licensed tour guide by the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism in 2014. I took English studies at Sam Houston State University in Texas. At the same time I started working as a private tour guide I started taking Eco-tourism training and got the wilderness first Aid license. I love Archaeology and history and that's why I started my own studying and my dream is to help write the Palestinian narrative which I'm already represent my people in telling it to the visitors of Palestine. I love travelling and I have taken many trips around Europe and the USA. My favorite trip was walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela (800 Kilometers). Travelling gave me the experience to start offering stimulating tailor-made tours, customized to suit the interests of my customers. I love Palestine and I believe I am a good Ambassador of my country and I want to encourage people from all over the world to come and hear the Palestinian narrative from the original Palestinians. I can't wait to show you around my beautiful land Palestine! So, can I count on meeting you in Palestine soon? Tour Guide Licence from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Wilderness first Aid licence. Eco-Tourism Studies. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding. I can offer a full range of experiences.

Thank you very much Hazem. We learnt so much about Bethlehem, Christianity, the local geopolitical history and the challenging realities of day to day life as a Palestinian living in Bethlehem. Hazem is a fantastic communicator and a fountain of knowledge. He is open to all questions and patiently describes the current situation along with historical context. All communication pre tour was clear and responsive. We felt safe at all times and very fortunate to have had Hazem guide us in Bethlehem.

Hazem is an amazing and experienced guide, we felt very safe and comfortable at all time. He showed us so many interested locations, especially memorable was the refugee camp/separation wall we specially ask him to visit also to better understand the ongoing conflict. Hazem more than fullfiled our wishes! Best guide experience we ever had! Thank you again for everything Hazem. Best Barbara & Renee

Hazem was an excellent tour guide, my family and I enjoyed visiting Bethlehem with him. He had extensive knowledge of the area, history and the bible. He explained everything clearly which made the tour very interesting. He was also very friendly and made the our experience fun and hassal-free. Overall, we were very blessed to have Hazem as our tour guide.

Hazem rock! He is very knowledgeable about the history, the city, the current polotican and religious situation. We had a great experience and we learn a lot. My 18 years old was asking a lot of questions and Hazen answered all! To keep a teenager engaged isnt easy but Hazem did. We toured the city, Hazen has a nice and clean vehicle. He is kind and polite and doesnt not rush. He took us for a nice coffee and in the end he raccomanded one of the best restaurants we have ever been. Thank you!!!!

Wonderful custom tour with Hazem today. We had special interest in the sites seen by a traveler to Bethlehem in 1868 and Hazem thoughtfully and efficiently helped us understand how the city has changed over time. We had a wonderful lunch - as good as anything we've had on our entire trip - and very enlightening conversation on the challenges faced by Palestinians living in the Israeli-occupied territories. Highly recommended.

Your Bethlehem tour itinerary

After meeting you in Bethlehem, I will drive you to the entrance of the Old City of Bethlehem where you will walk down Star Street towards the Nativity Church. Inside the church you will visit the Nativity Cave, St. Catherine Church and St. Jerome Cave. After the Nativity Church, you will have an opportunity to view the magnificent panorama view of city of Bethlehem from the top of one of the old houses which is now an olive wood factory. Here you can watch locals craft souvenirs from native olive trees. Then I will walk you to the Milk Grotto to visit the cave where tradition holds that Mary fed Jesus on their way to Egypt. Later, I will drive you to the Shepherd's Field where the angels appeared to the shepherds to witness Jesus' birth.
