Discovering Israel is... immerse yourself in a millennial history, in Jerusalem in front of the Wailing Wall, on the esplanade of the Mosques or at the Holy Sepulchre, But that's not all… To discover Israel is to swim in the Dead Sea, the Red Sea, in the Mediterranean or in Lake Tiberias, it's strolling in Tel-Aviv, the city that "never sleeps", is to climb the steep streets of the port city of Haifa on the slopes of Mount Carmel, at the gates of the Galilee and the Golan Heights, But then again, that's not all... Discovering Israel means hiking, horseback riding or driving, surfing, hot-air ballooning, sleeping in a Bedouin camp or tasting the culinary specialties of a multitude of cultures, it's admiring urban graffiti, it's blending into the melting pot of populations mingling on a daily basis, it is also to discover a rich, ancient and preserved nature.

Haifa is the third-largest city in Israel, with 285 000 inhabitants. Its history starts with Tel Shikmona in 1700 B.C., and Haifa is mentioned in the Talmud but became important with the building of the modern port in the 20th century by Great Britain. It is the capital of the Israeli north and the world center for Bahai religion. Acre has as well at least 4000 years of history, but we will focus on the time it was the capital of the second crusader state and the last place to fall against Muslims. After it, the crusader history in the Holy Land ended. All crusader orders: Hospitalers, Templars, Teutons, etc., were located in Acre. They were rivals, and it is the history of hate and war. war when the more dangerous enemy stood at the door—Muslims. So it is part of the history of the Holy Land, Europe, and the world.

This tour is created after the feedback received from my tourists, that it is very difficult to find Jewish traditional content tour. Tradition of visiting holy tombs, ask their help, donate charity to help poor people is very ancient. Official Judaism was not always positive with this practice, but it is even described in Torah, as Kalev ben Ifune, one of the 12 spies, went to Hebron. Maimonides did the same in his visit in Israel. So, it is very common human practice and believe. You can take a part in it during our tour, or just seeing from the side. It is deep believe and spectacular practice. I am very known experienced guide in Israel. I have knowledge and education in Middle East and Judaism. I love to show our country and pass this love to my tourists. Many people are listening to me weekly by Radio and Internet.
