7 days across Israel! Experience Tel Aviv’s famous nightlife, immerse yourself in Jerusalem’s diverse holy sites, float in the magical Dead Sea, hike up Masada at sunrise, and stargaze in the desert crater! Have your whole trip seamlessly organised and guided by myself, a local expat. I will take you to some of the most famous sites in the world, as well as the best-hidden gems in this thriving Middle Eastern country. We will relax on the beach, eat traditional Middle Eastern food, walk through historical markets, and enjoy the buzzing bars and clubs. Additionally, in contrast, we will take a deeper dive into the spiritual melting pot of Jerusalem. Walking around the Old City with a local guide, we will visit all four religious corners within the ancient walls. Next, we venture south to the national parks of Ein Gedi and Masada where you can float in the mindblowing Dead Sea. After this, we'll hike up and watch the stunning sunrise from the ancient mountaintop fortress, Masada. The we'll be able to unwind under the stars in the middle of the Mitzpe Crater in the desert.
About me: I’ve lived in Israel for a few years, but the varied landscapes and cultures still excite me! Now, as a local in Tel Aviv, I will take you to the best spots in a city that sleeps less than New York. I am a professional photographer and videographer who would love to capture all the stunning moments we will experience throughout the trip.
Accommodation: We'll be staying in top-rated and centrally located hostels in both the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. We'll be glamping by the Dead Sea and then staying in Eco Lodges in the desert on the crater's edge. All accommodation is planned as beds in shared rooms, but private rooms are available at an extra cost.
