⏱ 3.5 to 5 hours

We will explore four (“-and-a-half”) of the usable gates of the Old City walls. Why were the gates built where they are? What’s special about each of the gates in ancient and/or modern history? What can we learn about the geography, neighborhoods and current sociology in the vicinity of each gate? These and other questions will be addressed as we begin with the New Gate and walk through the Christian Quarter to the Jaffa Gate. (We will discuss the different representations of the Christian Church organizations we pass, but we will not be going inside churches.) After a short break near the Jaffa Gate we will ascend the Ramparts Walk and stroll on the walls of the Old City, descending at the Zion Gate. We will continue down the hill, stopping briefly at the Tanner’s Gate (is that a new one for you?) and conclude at the Dung Gate. TOUR LENGTH: 3.5 to 5 hours SUGGESTED MEETING POINT: Kikar Tzahal, by the old and new City Hall buildings (near the Shivtei Yisrael light rail station) TENTATIVE ENDING POINT: Sha’ar Ashpot (the Dung Gate) PRICE (total per group): ₪800 (~$250) NOT INCLUDED in the PRICE: Entrance fees for the Ramparts Walk (as of this writing: ₪20 per adult; ₪10 per child 5 to 18 years old, student (with ID), or senior citizen)

Across the Galilee by 4×4 with Morris Zemach

الجليل ومرتفعات الجولانالطبيعة والرحلاتالطهي والنبيذ1 مرشد

Leave the main roads behind and discover the Galilee through its forests, valleys, villages, sacred places, and local food. Travelling by 4×4 allows us to connect landscapes and communities that many visitors pass by, creating a day that combines exploration with personal encounters. We might begin in the Bedouin village of Salame with breakfast and pita bread fresh from the tabun before continuing among the old olive trees of Nahal Tzalmon. From there, possible routes can lead towards the cliffs of Akbara, the orchards of Nahal Hamra, Birya Forest, or the hills above Nahal Dalton. Along the way, we can stop at places connected to the Galilee’s religious traditions, including the great pistachio tree near the tomb of Rabbi Tarfon in Kadita. Depending on the route and your interests, the journey might continue towards Mount Meron, Bar’am Forest, or Gush Halav, perhaps ending with a Lebanese-style meal. No two days need to be exactly alike. The route can be adapted to the season, road conditions, available time, and your preferred balance of off-road adventure, short walks, scenery, local food, village life, and stories from the Galilee.

Capernaum, Korazim & Gospel Landscapes

الجليل ومرتفعات الجولانالكتاب المقدس والحجالطبيعة والرحلات

On the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Korazim, and nearby sites offer a close view of Jewish and early Christian life in the first century. A private visit can include the synagogue and village remains at Capernaum, the black-basalt synagogue at Korazim, lakeshore viewpoints, and nearby sites such as Tabgha or the Mount of Beatitudes. The route can focus on the Gospels, Jewish village life, Roman-era Galilee, or Christian pilgrimage. The story is rooted in ordinary Galilean communities: fishing, farming, synagogue life, family networks, and local roads. These were not grand imperial cities, but places where teachings and events later remembered across the world took place.

Megiddo: Armageddon & Ancient Empires

السعر عند الطلب

الناصرة والجليل الأدنىالكتاب المقدس والحجالأثرية والتاريخية

Tel Megiddo overlooks the Jezreel Valley, one of the great crossroads of the ancient Near East. Its position made it valuable to Canaanite kings, Egyptian pharaohs, Israelite rulers, and later armies moving between Egypt, Syria, and Mesopotamia. A visit can include the city gates, palaces, temples, stables, and the deep water system. The site is also associated with the biblical idea of Armageddon, a name derived from Har Megiddo, or Mount Megiddo. Megiddo is a story of geography becoming destiny. Whoever controlled this hill could watch the valley below and influence the roads that linked the great powers of the ancient world.

Дмитрий Балюк

الجليل ومرتفعات الجولانعكاالعبرية

Hello. My name is Dmitry. I am a licensed tour guide in Israel, based in Caesarea. I love God, people, and nature. I conduct Christian, historical, and archaeological tours—both group and private. I enjoy creating surprises and memorable moments for tourists. Я — Дмитрий Балюк, лицензированный гид Министерства туризма Израиля. Работаю индивидуально с русскоязычными туристами и христианскими паломниками, составляю авторские маршруты в комфортном темпе. Провожу экскурсии по всему Израилю и работаю только на русском языке. Для поездок использую комфортный седан. Я окончил Академический колледж Кинерета (Kinneret Academic College) по специальности «История и археология Израиля», а затем прошёл там же курсы экскурсоводов по Израилю. Поэтому на маршруте вы услышите не пересказ путеводителя, а целостную картину того, как археология, история и Писание соединяются в тех местах, которые мы посещаем. Лицензия Министерства туризма Израиля — результат этой профессиональной подготовки. Она также даёт право проводить экскурсии в национальных парках и на охраняемых памятниках. Помимо работы гидом, я служитель и проповедник в церкви христиан веры евангельской в городе Ор-Акива. Для меня Святая Земля — не только история и древние камни, но и живая вера. Я бережно и с уважением к традиции и молитве сопровождаю православных, католических и протестантских паломников. Я понимаю, зачем люди приезжают пройти по Виа Долороза, побывать у Гроба Господня и помолиться у Иордана, и создаю каждое путешествие с вниманием к его смыслу, деталям и спокойному темпу, которого заслуживает паломничество.

I’m Morris, a Galilee-born guide, farmer, and storyteller, guiding since 1988. Come with me to meet the people, hear the stories, and taste the food that help you know this country from within. About me I was born in Moshav Margaliot, on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, and the Galilee is my home. Alongside guiding, I also grow mangoes and lychees. On my tours, we’ll get to know the country through its people: their stories, traditions, kitchens, and everyday lives. We’ll follow village roads, meet local families, discover small wineries and dairies, and enjoy the smells and flavours of food prepared in home courtyards. These encounters are part of the journey, just as much as the landscape and the historical sites. I am a licensed guide and have been guiding since 1988, with an academic background in Geography and Israel Studies. I guide in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, and lead tours throughout Israel, with a special affection for the Galilee, where I was born and have lived my life. On the Golan Heights, I also bring a personal perspective: I served as a paratrooper and took part in the 1973 war. I collect stories as well as tell them, and some have found their way into my books about the Galilee, Tiberias, and Rosh Pina. In Rosh Pina, we can follow the stories back to the houses and streets where their characters lived. If you would like to take some of those stories home, my Hebrew book “סיפורים ראשפינאים” (Rosh Pina Stories) brings together the people, houses, and tales of the old village. Drawing on stories told by its farmers, it introduces the pioneers, generous hosts, artists, and unusual characters whose lives became part of Rosh Pina’s history. The book is available to purchase directly from me; contact me to order a copy.
