Hello everyone, my name is Georgette, and I'm thrilled to be your tour guide! As a Palestinian Christian born and raised in the beautiful city of Bethlehem, I have a deep connection to the rich cultural heritage and history that this place holds. My journey to becoming a tour guide took an interesting path. After completing my studies in Italy for an incredible six years, I felt a strong pull towards sharing my knowledge and love for my country with visitors from all over the world. So, I decided to combine my passion for history, culture, and religion with my language skills. Currently, I work as a tour guide, conducting tours in both English and Italian. It brings me immense joy to showcase the wonders of Palestine to curious travelers like you. Every day, I meet new people and get to learn from their experiences as much as I get to share mine. What drives me the most is my love for what I do. I genuinely enjoy showing people around, telling stories that have been passed down through generations, and revealing hidden gems that make Palestine, especially Bethlehem so unique. I believe that every traveler should feel like an old friend, and I do my best to create an atmosphere of warmth and excitement throughout the tour. So, if you're ready to embark on a memorable journey through the heart of Palestine, where you'll experience the beauty of our cultural heritage and witness the marvels of agriculture and religions in this region, I'm here to be your guide. Let's explore Palestine together and make this an unforgettable experience for all of us! I am a Palestinian licensed tour guide certified by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Palestine. My license number is 140391. If you have inquiries for more than 3 people, please message me.

Discovering Ancient Sanctuaries: A Journey of Spiritual Serenity & Historical Marvels
Overview of your Bethlehem tour
Hi all! I share with you my love to discover the last five remaining monasteries in the Holy Land. Personally, I love this tour as I re-find inner peace away from the noise of modern city life. Every time someone book this tour with me I got excited because it is always a chance for me to go back and experience the same feeling. One of the moments that I love is when I enter Saint George Monastery and I stand on its balcony that faces Al- Qelt Valley where I find peace of mind as if I forgot any worries of my daily life, there I wish I could stay for more than just a short visit. This is a spiritual and peaceful journey back to the 5th century when Christianity flourished in the heart of the Judaean Desert where Jesus passed by and prayed. It is a great chance to explore these sites where Jesus himself was present. Finally, It is always my joy and my pleasure to let you experience these moments of serenity between the valleys and cliffs of the Judean desert.
