Ein Avdat National Park
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Ein Avdat is a canyon in the Zin Valley where desert springs create pools, reeds, and green terraces beneath high limestone cliffs. It is one of the Negev’s clearest examples of how water changes everything. A visit can include a walk through the canyon, views from above the cliffs, and time to observe the plants and animals that gather around the springs. It can be combined with Sde Boker, Ben-Gurion’s grave, Avdat, or a longer route toward Mitzpe Ramon. The experience is built around contrast. The dry plateau above and the water below show the hidden systems that make desert life possible, and explain why people, wildlife, and trade routes have always been drawn to the few places where water appears.
The Negev: A Barren Land or Israel’s Future?
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Travel south with Eli Romanovsky to explore the Negev through the people who chose to build their lives there. The desert was central to David Ben-Gurion’s vision for Israel. He believed its future would be shaped by the ability to live, farm, and create communities in the Negev. This tour follows that idea through early kibbutzim, desert farms, and the wide open landscape around Sde Boker. Visit Kibbutz Revivim, one of the communities founded in the 1940s under difficult desert conditions. Continue south to Sde Boker, where Ben-Gurion chose to make his home after leaving public office. Visit his desert home and his grave overlooking the Zin Valley. The route can include a local farm or winery, a walk near Avdat Creek, and a stop connected with the Nabataean Incense Route. The day can end in Mitzpe Ramon, making it a natural beginning to a longer Negev stay. This private journey combines Israel’s modern story, desert life, and the landscapes that continue to shape both.
The Negev: Genesis Land
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Spend a day with Eli Romanovsky in the Negev, where ancient trade routes, deep geological time, and desert life come together. Begin at Avdat, a Nabataean city built along the ancient Incense Route. Its ruins tell the story of people who made a life in the desert through trade, farming, and careful control of water. Continue to Mitzpe Ramon and the Makhtesh Ramon, a vast erosion crater unlike any other landscape in Israel. Walk along the rim, travel down into the crater, and stop for short walks among coloured sands, fossil remains, and exposed rock formations. The day can be adapted to your interests. You may choose to visit a Bedouin tent for tea and a camel ride, learn about the makhtesh and astronaut Ilan Ramon at the Ramon Visitor Center, or spend time in Mitzpe Ramon’s Artists’ Quarter. This is a private day for travellers who want to experience the Negev through its nature, stories, and sense of space.
Sde Boker & Ben-Gurion’s Negev Vision
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Sde Boker is the desert kibbutz where David Ben-Gurion chose to live after leaving office as Israel’s first prime minister. His simple home and grave overlooking the Zin Valley remain central places for understanding his vision of the Negev. A private visit can include Ben-Gurion’s hut, the nearby educational and research setting, his grave, and views across the desert. It can be combined with Ein Avdat, Avdat, local farms, or an overnight stay in Mitzpe Ramon. The story is one of a national vision becoming personal. Ben-Gurion saw the Negev as central to Israel’s future and chose to make his own life in the desert part of that argument.
El Néguev, los primeros asentamientos de los patriarcas
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
Explora el norte del Néguev con Eli Romanovsky en un recorrido privado por los paisajes relacionados con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. Viajaremos hacia el sur, pasando por los alrededores de Beer Sheva y entrando en un territorio donde el agua, el comercio, los asentamientos y la fe hicieron posible la vida al borde del desierto. Podemos comenzar en el Pozo de Abraham en Beer Sheva y continuar hacia Tel Sheva. Allí, un antiguo sistema de agua y los restos de un templo israelita nos acercan al mundo del periodo bíblico. Más tarde, podremos visitar Tel Arad, con los restos de una ciudad cananea, una fortaleza israelita y un templo. Según el tiempo disponible y los intereses del grupo, también podemos incluir Bat Midbar, una empresa de productos herbales beduinos fundada por una mujer de la comunidad local de Tel Sheva. Este recorrido privado es apropiado para viajeros interesados en la Biblia, la arqueología, los primeros asentamientos y los paisajes del sur de Israel. La ruta final puede adaptarse al grupo, la estación del año y el ritmo que prefieras.
Eilat & the Arava: Coral, Desert Wildlife & Ancient Copper
מומלץמחיר לפי בקשה
At Israel’s southern tip, the Red Sea, the Arava Desert, and the mountains around Eilat create a landscape unlike anywhere else in the country. A private day or multi-day route can combine Coral Beach Nature Reserve, where snorkeling reveals the Red Sea reef; Yotvata Hai-Bar, a conservation reserve for desert animals; and Timna Park, where ancient copper mining took place among red sandstone cliffs. The route can be adapted for families, nature lovers, snorkelers, photographers, and travellers interested in desert history. This is a story of connections across extremes: reef and desert, wildlife conservation and ancient industry, and a remote border region linked for thousands of years to trade routes across the Red Sea and Arabian deserts.

David Perlmutter
מאומת ✓David Perlmutter is a licensed Israel tour guide who has been guiding since 1988, with private tours a specialty since he purchased his first off-road vehicle in 1993. Born and raised in the US, he moved to Israel as a young adult, farmed an avocado grove on Kibbutz Einat, and served in the Israeli Defense Forces before entering the guiding profession. His company, Israel Adventure Journeys Ltd., is his platform for private guiding work across Israel. David is among Israel’s most recognised guides on wine and wine tourism. He began visiting Israeli wineries when the country’s modern wine revolution was still in its early years and developed that curiosity into a serious professional practice, combining direct experience across the industry with formal training. He holds the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Level 3 Award in Wines, passed with Merit. Fellow guides, winemakers, and members of Israel’s wine industry regularly consult him on wine tourism. Wine journeys can be designed for anything from a single day in the Judean Hills to a weeklong exploration of Israel’s wine regions. His guiding is not limited to wine. Nearly four decades of criss-crossing the country on foot, by mountain bike, and in off-road vehicles have given David an intimate familiarity with Israel’s geography. He leads mountain-bike journeys ranging from relaxed vineyard rides paired with tastings to single-track riding in the Negev and multi-day sections of the Israel Bike Trail. Full logistical support can be arranged, including bike rental, transport, repairs, and accommodation when needed. David lives with his wife Tamar and their four sons in Eliav, a young community in the Lachish region. He also volunteers as a first responder and ambulance crew member with Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service.

Дмитрий Балюк
מאומת ✓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.
