Israel Cultural Tours

Are you interested in a broader scope for exploring the reality of the Land of Israel, both ancient and modern? I’ll work with you to design an itinerary that will provide a balanced and objective view of Israel.

​

We’ll touch upon all three of the great monotheistic religions and how they’ve influenced our country and the world at large.

​

Within its tiny borders, Israel is blessed with many UNESCO World Heritage Sites – we’ll be sure to visit some of them.

​

We’ll explore archaeological sites mentioned in the Bible in order to try and reconstruct the culture and history of this ancient land.

​

We won’t shy away from Middle East politics on your tour. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Israel’s place in the wider region as well.

​

If you wish, we can visit communities which represent the ethnic minorities of Israel. And if great food turns  you on, perhaps, even enjoy a cooking workshop and home hospitality with a local Arab or Druze family.

A few of the sites that might intrigue you include:

​

  • Tel Aviv – the ‘capital of Mediterranean cool’

  • Old Akko (Acre) – UNESCO World Heritage Site and best preserved Crusader city in the world

  • Zippori – a Roman period city in Galilee known for its magnificent mosaic floors

  • Tel Dan – a nature reserve on Israel’s northern border with profoundly significant biblical archaeological remains

  • Beit Shean – the largest Roman period ruins in Israel

  • Israel Museum – one of the world’s great museums

  • City of David – an archaeological site that sheds light on the earliest origins of Jerusalem

  • Temple Mount / Haram al-Sharif – a holy site venerated by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike where we find the Dome of the Rock

  • Masada – the most visited national park in Israel and another UNESCO site

  • Avdat – an archaeological site in the Negev Desert and the most impressive of the cities of the Nabatean culture in Israel

  • Petra extension – This was the Nabateans' capital. It’s a site in modern day Jordan considered a wonder of the ancient world. I can easily arrange for an extension for you in Jordan to experience this site.
