About Me
Haim Ohana is a certified tour guide from the Ministry of Tourism who was born and raised in Jerusalem and speaks Hebrew and English.
In 2009, after years in high-tech and private business management, Haim decided to do what he liked best: to experience Jerusalem through the feet. Haim has extensive experience in guiding both Israelis and tourists alike throughout Jerusalem and of course the rest of Israel.
During the years he worked as a guide, Haim once again discovered that the beauty, holiness, atmosphere, sounds, colors and smells of Jerusalem awaken him and the travelers to a new life.
“I am often asked – do you do this every day and still enjoy it? Did not you have enough? well, there is no answer to that. Every day Jerusalem looks different. Even if it’s the day after”
One of the first tours he put together was a fascinating tour through the light rail called “BOI KALA”. The tour passes through a variety of sites in Jerusalem via the light rail, from Mount Herzl and Yad Vashem, through Mahane Yehuda Market, and of course near the Old City and Ammunition Hill.
“One of my favorite periods, in particular, is of course the Roman period. This is the most significant period for all the Christians and Jews who tour with me in Jerusalem. For Judaism, this is the period of destruction and revival and the founding of Rabbinic Judaism. For Christians, this period accompanies the birth of Christianity and the story of the life of Jesus and his believers.”
Haim specializes in tours that combine content and experience, such as tours of ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods and deepening familiarity with the Haredi population. These tours reach all senses, combining the stories of the place and time with the unique tastes of the country. In addition, with Haim, you can take a variety of culinary tours in Mahane Yehuda Market and Nahlaot neighborhoods, site tours and museums, Nahalat Shiva and Jaffa Street, the Old City, tours of the three faiths and old neighborhoods in Jerusalem such as Talbieh, Rehavia, Katamon, Yemin Moshe Mamilla, and Musrara.
Haim also specializes in guiding VIP tours by Eshkol vehicle for small groups and building a tour tailored to the needs and wishes of each customer.
