Hello, I’m Jeries Haddad. I'm a french teacher and a tour guide, I was born and raised in Ramallah, Palestine, where I’ve spent all 28 years of my life immersed in the vibrant culture and rich history of this beautiful city. I am proud to be part of the 'Right To Movement Running Team,' an initiative dedicated to promoting and encouraging running as a sport on the streets of Ramallah. We organize weekly running sessions and workouts for locals, aiming to promote community, health, and a love for sports. My passion for languages has always been a driving force in my life. This led me to study French and become a language teacher. Since then, I’ve been organizing language exchange events, an incredible opportunity to connect with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. These exchanges allow us to learn from each other and build bridges through language and understanding. Beyond my passions for sports and languages, I have a deep love for Palestinian history and cultural heritage. I enjoy showing visitors around Ramallah, sharing its stories, landmarks, and traditions. For me, guiding travelers is not just about teaching them about the city—it's about seeing Ramallah through their eyes and helping them experience its true beauty. Through my tours, I aim to share the stories, history, and warmth of Ramallah with travelers from around the world. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you the heart of Palestine through my eyes.
