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.

Hazem was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history and the day to day life of the residents. His knowledge of the sacred and historical venues was without peer. His was punctual and very amiable. He was also flexible as we added sites to our day.
Hazem was amazing. He is very knowledgable about all aspects of The West Bank. He brings great enthusiasm and is very flexible. A day tour with Hazem will fly by and leave you wanting more. This was a very memorable day. My first time using yours by locals and I'm so glad that I did.
Hazim is a very knowledgeable, friendly and professional guild. He created a private tour for 4 of us to tour in Palestine, Covered Hebron, Herodium, Bethlehem, Banksy hotel and Aida Refugee Camp in one day, A very informative and educational trip! We were also interested in Jericho, but Hazim's time was booked out. so he introduced his friend to be our tour guide, a very nice guide as well. if you need a tour guide in Palestine, Hazim is your best choice!
Such a thought-provoking experience in the West Bank. Our son traveled with Hazem for the day while visiting the region for several months. That tour and all he learned remains etched in his mind, for Hazem took the time to engage in deep discussions while touring Bethlehem and the West Bank. If you have the time for a personal tour, you will enjoy every moment of learning and living with Hazem. The experience will leave you changed, for the better.
Hazem was an excellent guide for our custom one day tour of Hebron and Ramallah. He attended a university in Texas so his English is excellent and easy to understand. We had already seen Bethlehem with our one week tour so we agreed to modify. He was very helpful in explaining the history and current situation in Palestine and Israel. It is of course very complicated. It was very useful to learn the perspective from a Christian Palestinian, such as Hazem. Highly recommend!
A wonderful, eye opening lesson about the Israeli/Palestinian relationship. By direct, hands on, family experience, Hazem showed us Bethlehem and led us through the past journeys of the Palestinian people. Everyone really needs to do this tour. We went to Hebron, the Aida camp, he showed us the wall and took us through the old city of Bethlehem. What an amazing and educational day. We were lucky to have Hazem as our guide and would highly recommend him. Terri & Tony (USA)
