The Negev: Genesis Land

The Negev: Genesis Land

מומלץ

מחיר לפי בקשה

👥 עד 20

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.

Museum of Islamic Art

Museum of Islamic Art

מחיר לפי בקשה

👥 עד 20

The Museum of Islamic Art in Jerusalem offers a focused introduction to Islamic art, culture, science, and craftsmanship across many regions and centuries. Its collection includes ceramics, metalwork, textiles, jewellery, manuscripts, weapons, and scientific instruments. The museum also holds the rare collection of clocks assembled by Sir David Salomons, including works associated with the French royal clockmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. The story told through the collection is one of exchange rather than separation, with artistic styles, scientific ideas, materials, and skilled craftspeople moving across the Islamic world and between East and West.

Three Days in the Golan Heights and Galilee

Three Days in the Golan Heights and Galilee

מומלץ

מחיר לפי בקשה

👥 עד 20

Spend three days discovering northern Israel through its landscapes, history, communities, and complex human stories. Together, we can explore the Golan Heights and the eastern and western Galilee, creating a journey that reflects your interests, preferred pace, and style of travel. In the Golan Heights, possibilities include dramatic viewpoints, the ancient site of Gamla, the Jordan River, and places connected to the battles and borders that have shaped the region. As we travel, I will share my personal perspective and help bring together the history, geography, and present-day realities of this remarkable area. Around the eastern Galilee, we might follow the shores of the Sea of Galilee, visit Tiberias and important Christian sites, wander through Rosh Pina or Safed, or enjoy the scenery of Birya Forest. The day can focus on biblical and religious heritage, Jewish history, nature, local life—or a combination of them. Heading west opens another range of possibilities. We could explore Acre’s old streets, markets, underground halls, and harbour; continue to the cliffs and grottoes of Rosh Hanikra; visit Peki’in; or include an encounter with one of northern Israel’s Druze or Bedouin communities. These places are suggestions rather than a fixed itinerary. Your three-day tour can be adapted around the season, your accommodation, the interests of your group, and the amount of walking or driving you prefer. Whether you are drawn to history, geopolitics, faith, landscapes, food, or local communities, we will create a northern Israel journey that feels personal, varied, and meaningful.

Eilat & the Arava: Coral, Desert Wildlife & Ancient Copper

Eilat & the Arava: Coral, Desert Wildlife & Ancient Copper

מומלץ

מחיר לפי בקשה

👥 עד 20

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.

Acre: Crusaders, Markets & Sea

Acre: Crusaders, Markets & Sea

מומלץ

מחיר לפי בקשה

👥 עד 20

Acre, also known as Akko, is one of the Mediterranean’s great historic port cities. Its Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with visible layers from the Crusader and Ottoman periods inside walls that still face the sea. A private walk can move through the underground Crusader city, including halls built for the Knights Hospitaller, then emerge into Ottoman markets, mosques, khans, sea walls, and the working harbour. There is room to focus on architecture, food, Jewish and Arab history, the Crusaders, the Ottoman city, or Acre’s relationship with the wider Mediterranean. After Jerusalem fell to Saladin in 1187, Acre became the capital of the Crusader Kingdom and the main Christian port in the Holy Land. Its story is about a city built around arrival: merchants, pilgrims, armies, refugees, spices, languages, and ideas all came through its harbour.

Davidson Archaeological Park & Southern Wall Excavations

Davidson Archaeological Park & Southern Wall Excavations

מומלץ

מחיר לפי בקשה

👥 עד 20

At the southern edge of the Temple Mount, the Davidson Archaeological Park preserves streets, stairways, ritual baths, shops, and monumental stones from the final centuries of the Second Temple period. Walk where pilgrims once approached the Temple, see the remains of the great stairways, and explore the archaeology of Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic Jerusalem. The visit can be paired with the Western Wall, Jewish Quarter, or City of David. The site tells the story of Jerusalem at its busiest: a city of pilgrims, markets, ritual preparation, imperial rule, and a temple that stood at the centre of Jewish life.

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.
