Via Ferrata, the Iron path - climbing and gliding cliffs and hanging on them using ropes and pegs in the rock. An enjoyable family experience above the Hula Valley at the top of Naftaly Mt. - not for weak hearts...

Those of you who traveled with us in the Negev Desert, surely remember Ovda - a national park, recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO, as part of the Nabataean Nomadic path. The residents of the old city were known for their rich vineyards and fine wine.
About five years ago, ancient vine seeds from the Byzantine period (around 320 AD) were discovered there. During an extraordinary and ground-breaking agronomic process, the ancient seeds were germinated and about two weeks ago, just before the Jewish Rosh Hashanah (New Year's Eve), a new/old research vineyard about 1500 years old was planted and launched in the city of Ovda with a big and happy celebration;
We are all in eager anticipation of how the grapes will look like and how this surprising wine will feel and taste.
Something to look forward to for years to come😍

About five years ago I traveled in South India and came back fascinated by the ancient temples and archaeological finds I encountered. When I returned, I shared this experience with Lior, our chief guide, and he answered me: "With all due respect lady, these are findings that are only 400-500 years old. Literally, babies. Here in Israel, we have Caesarea, Masada, and the City of David - stunningly well-preserved sites that are 3000-2000 years old!
Of course, I had to humbly admit the truth.
So whether you're a history fan or an archeology geek, you can't help but be impressed by the stunning find, on an international level, that was discovered about a week ago in the Judean Desert (not far from Masada National Park): 4 swords from the period of the Jewish rebellion against the Romans, about 1900 years ago.
If you want to hear more about their story just watch this next video (and don't miss the "WOW" calls of the diggers) .
A story of knights, rebels, and one big desert that kept magic in it for 2,000 years.... Truly amazing

A sensational find in the Judean Desert: a cache of four 1,900-year-old, excellently preserved Roman swords and a shafted weapon were discovered in a crevice...

The Baha'i gardens in Haifa. One of the most impressively beautiful sites in Israel on the way north towards Acre. The holiest place in the world for the Baha'i religion.
A site full of grace and mystery.

The Rosen-Phelbs family visited Israel for the first time with us in the winter of 2017. After the Covid period, they couldn't resist and decided to return. This time in the summer, with an (almost) completely different itinerary that matches hot days and summer breeze. The surprise was when Lior, their tour guide, took them to meet their old guide Eitan for a short reunion. And what a joy it was...
We don't just create experiences, we meet people.

One of our guests' most beautiful and unusual experiences is a private cruise on the Dead Sea—the unique story of this natural phenomenon, which is dying out. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the Dead Sea, while it lives.

We always send our guests to the night show on the walls of the Tower of David in Jerusalem. We have watched it more than 50 times and it is still always touching. Now, National Geographic also declared it as one of the most impressive shows in the world.
Come and join us and you wouldn't miss a thing...

HAPPY CLIENT :
"I want to thank you, for a very well-organized trip. Our customer was happy, and relaxed and felt they had the best trip ever.

This trip is something, they will never forget. Our customer is invited to go all over the world, but this trip, with his wife and to these places, they have never tried."
So if he forgets it once, his wife will remember him, and what we did for them.

WE LOVE IT WHEN WE FEEL THAT WE DID SOMETHING GOOD

Today we bow our heads in our National Holocaust memorial day, and commemorate the murder of 6 million Jews at the hands of the N**i oppressor.
May they rest in peace.

Things you see from here you don't see from there... This is true for the observation over the Hula Valley and for the rumors outside the country, that Israel is unsafe. Shakdia is working and hosting as usual. The tourist sites are packed with visitors worldwide due to the holidays. Come and join us, Happy Passover to everyone!

The Fink family came to Israel to celebrate the Passover holiday with us. Starting on "Talking walls" tour in TLV. Learning about the first Hebrew city from Juna the prophet 3000 years ago in Jaffa, until current days where you can find an alternative kicking street art.
In the end they left their own mark on the wall...

Join us for a tour in one of the most happiest place on earth!
This is true. In our beautiful country, we have complex times right now. A lot of questions, challenges, and wake-up calls. Despite those difficulties, Israel is awarded a place of honor in the opening ten of the world happiness index in the 2023 report.
Somehow, apparently, the Israelis enjoy grumbling.
