Regions

Where I take you

Seven regions, five themes and forty specific places. Most trips are a combination — tell me what you enjoy most and I will build the rest around it.

The Mount of Olives, the four quarters of the Old City, Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall.

The clifftop fortress of Masada, the Ein Gedi oasis and healing water 25 minutes from Jerusalem.

Herod's harbour, the amphitheatre and palace mosaics, an hour north of Tel Aviv.

The Baha'i Gardens, the cave of the prophet Elijah and the UNESCO-listed Crusader tunnels of Acre.

Millennia-old Jaffa against century-old Tel Aviv, Bauhaus, the flea market and Neve Tzedek.

Cana, Nazareth, the Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum and Yardenit — in the footsteps of Jesus.

UNESCO-listed Avdat, Mamshit and Shivta, the Ramon Crater and Ein Avdat.

Themed tours

Five ways to read Israel

Pilgrimage sites of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, explained so you understand why they are holy — and to whom.

Traces of Egyptians, Nabateans, Greeks, Romans, Jews and Arabs. The greatest civilisations of the world in context, not as a list of dates.

Early settlement, waves of migration, the founding of the state, the Arab-Israeli wars and the political and security situation today.

Deserts, canyons and wadis. From gentle walks to full-day hikes for the fit — I adjust the difficulty to you.

Jewish and Arab cuisine, spice markets and the wine regions of the Golan and the Judean Hills, with tastings of excellent local wines.

Interactive map

Not sure whether Masada can be combined with the Dead Sea in one day? The map shows what lies where and what sensibly fits together.
