Guided trip
Hello travelers! Do you ever want to visit Israel with a local? This is your chance. About me! My name is Nava, and I am a landscape, culture, recreation, and food lover. Why Israel? Let me give many different reasons to join my trip to Israel. I was born and raised in Israel, I love the country but worry a lot. We will visit the most important places, talk to people and also go hiking in the beautiful nature. I tried to keep my trip easy, with light luggage. Israel is known for being diverse...More than half of the country is covered by desert, the largest of which is the Negev. About 20 percent of the area is used as fields for agriculture. Only a small part of the country is forest. Only a small part of Israel is mountainous. From green and forested mountains to exotic desert springs, Israel has lots of natural beauty that every local and every visitor should take a look at, and that is what we are doing! Key points for you: 1. The trip that I organize is very inexpensive. It means less comfort. Shared rooms or bathrooms, hostels. 2. Travel light. Do not carry more than one small bag with you. It makes the Journey easier. We will carry our bags with us. 3. Small groups. 4. No Guaranty! I am arranging the whole trip, sometimes I have to book rooms or flights in advance. As I am a private Person, the rule for me, is also the rule for you. I will ask you to fill a form that, in any case, you are responsible for yourself. 5. Please insure yourself! You can also insure your flights. We will have fun! So, to summarize, what is included in the price? - Accommodation: Overnight in simple places, private hosts. - Museum visit - Transportation - TripLeader fee What is not included: - The cost of food. Are you ready to join my trip? Feel free to send me a message.

Safed

Day 6-8
Tours in Old Safed, a city of the Kabbalists located in the heart of the Galilee, give us an opening to the impressive history of one of the four holy cities in the Jewish religion, and the changes it has undergone over the years. Old Safed reached its peak in the 16th century against the background of the prosperity brought with it by the textile industry. Along with the economic prosperity in ancient Safed, the occult doctrine - the Kabbalah - grew, by the great men of the generation, led by the holy Ari, Rabbi Moshe Cordovro and Rabbi Yosef Caro (author of the Shulchan Aruch). Something of the mystery, learning and spirit remains to this day in the alleys of old Safed from which a wonderful view of Mount Miron can be seen, and the tours include both the ancient places found in the Jewish quarter of old Safed, and the picturesque alleys and the artists' quarter that have developed in recent years. The special atmosphere of Safed touches everyone who visits it. The beauty of Mount Miron seen from it, the picturesque alleys, the combination of the different communities. Alongside the ultra-Orthodox community and the beautiful synagogues you will also find artisans and craftsmen, restaurants, cheese makers and wineries and of course plenty of stories and legends. All these make the tour of Old Safed an unforgettable spiritual, authentic, artistic and culinary experience. This is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable sections of the Israel Trail - with flowing water, bathing options and tall trees. The length of the track is about 14 km. Recommended season is possible all year round, but not after rain when the path is muddy. Recommended in weather suitable for bathing in water. The last part is mostly exposed to the sun and is less suitable on a very hot day. Therefore, in the summer it is recommended to follow a shortened route that focuses on the sections where there is water - between Miron and the Shkoi pools or the Chois bush. Accommodation: Own Tent!!! First night: The house in Meiron. This place is on Israel National trail. We will walk on Friday until Sefad. Friday evening we will stay at "Off The Square" Apartment.

Jerusalem is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the Old City, visit museums and art galleries, and experience the local markets and street food. It is a must-see destination for anyone interested in religion, history, and culture. We prefer to let professional guides lead our tour in Jerusalem, it would be a shame to miss the story. Also included is a visit to Makhne yehuda Market, Wailing Wall, Old and New Stat. Of course, I will design the trip according to your wishes, if possible...Please note that on Sundays and Thursdays during the day, you will spend time without me. - Visit at the Dead Sea.

Eilat Mountains

Day 12
Eilat has a small section of the Israel national trail and it is considered a great spot for a short hike, where you can enjoy the beautiful desert landscape and the Red Sea view. The trail in Eilat is also well-marked and easy to follow, which makes it suitable for hikers of all levels of experience. Love mountains? Love dessert? Eilat Mountains, offer some of the most breathtaking views and spectacular desert routes in all of Israel. Erosion overtime has resulted in narrow canyon areas as well, where visitors walk through spaces only one or two meters wide, but hundreds of meters high.
