  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

ABOUT MYSELF

Shalom and welcome to Israel!

I’m a licensed tour guide, born, raised, and based today in Jerusalem. I’m married and I have two beautiful daughters. I have a BA in communications and a Licensed Tour Guide certificate from the Israeli Ministry of Tourism.

I have always been a ‘freak’ of history and geography and in the last 10 years, I have turned it into my profession. I would be delighted to take you through the streets of Jerusalem, Masada & Dead Sea, Tel Aviv & Old Jaffa, Sea of Galilee & Golan Heights – and talk with you about history, archeology, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, geopolitics, wars and what not.

The fact that I am a former Concierge at the Waldorf Astoria becomes very handy when it comes to Hi-End tourism, not only in terms of luxury guided tours but also in terms of consulting about activities around Israel, recommending the best restaurants, car services, and the most important thing – design an exclusive itinerary just for you.

contact me and l will take it from there!
