Jerusalem Hills Inn - בית הארחה הרי ירושלים

We also conduct specialised group tours to historical sites of significance and relevance throughout the Holy Land of Israel. We are situated on the outskirts of Jerusalem, in the village of Abu Ghosh, which is the Biblical location known as Kiriath Jearim. Our facility is at the foot of the hill of Abinadab's house, where the Ark of the Covenant sat for 20 years, before King David brought it into

Jerusalem (1 Sam 7:1-2; 2 Sam 6:1-5). The location is renowned for several distinctions:
•Peaceful coexistence between Jews, Arabs, and Christians. Of the 36 Arab villages that were located in the Judean Hills before 1948, Abu Ghosh is the only one that welcomed the Jews, even aiding them during the Jerusalem siege, and therefore remained intact, continuing to this day. Today you will see the streets and restaurants filled with Jews, Muslims, and Christians, exhibiting a unique demonstration of peaceful coexistence and reconciliation.
•Known as "The Hummus Capital of Israel", for having the best hummus (a popular Israeli dish) in Israel – also set the Guinness Book of World Records in January 2010 for the world's largest dish of hummus!
•Wide selection of popular Middle Eastern restaurants, teaming with tourists and Jewish Israelis every weekend. Also famous for hosting the Abu Ghosh Music Festival twice a year – in the fall and late spring.
•Biblical and historical sites – Kiriath Jearim; Abinadab's House – site where the Ark of the Covenant rested for 20 years; Emmaus – where the disciples of Jesus encountered him, while traveling there, after the resurrection; the Crusader Church – one of the best preserved remains in Israel of the Crusader period

Jerusalem Hills Inn is owned and operated by Chaim & Ruti Singerman, a family from Texas with 7 children, who made Aliyah to Israel in January 2009.
