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.
