Welcome to the city of contrasts; sacred and secular, small and great, black and white but multicolored; A city where a modern road follows an ancient path that was paved by biblical patriarchs. 3, 000 years of Jerusalem’s history is uncovered before us as we wander through the city’s ancient and modern areas. Biblical traditions and stories, that become reality in front of our astounded eyes.
As an archaeologist and a tour guide, after so many years, I still marvel at it over and over again. I will introduce you to my personal friends; they are the real heart of Jerusalem. After today, you will also consider them friends.
Enjoy this ancient city, love it, and pray with it; It is yours to absorb in all senses.
Old people will feel here the embrace of history, and young – the joy of life. Journey through Jerusalem’s geography, archaeology and history and it will take you to your own past, present and even your future.
All my tours can be customized upon request, feel free to contact me.
