I’m a licensed tour guide in Israel —but above all, a storyteller. I’m fascinated by how, in this small land, every stone has a voice and every corner holds a memory. What I love most is when travelers don’t just see places, but truly understand, feel, and remember them.

Tour description
Walking through Jaffa means crossing thousands of years in just a few streets. Among ancient ruins, modern art, and the scent of Arabic coffee, we’ll uncover how this port became the stage for countless stories — from biblical Jaffa to Israel’s War of Independence, with tales of Abu Nabut, the struggle for water, and a few uninvited guests hiding in the dark.
We’ll see how Jaffa gave birth to Tel Aviv, talk about art, prophecies, and dreams that changed history — like Peter’s vision in his famous church — the home of Simon the Tanner, the story of Jonah and the whale, the Zodiac Fountain, and the legendary Jaffa oranges.
Between myths, history, and local flavors, you’ll discover a city that never sleeps, yet never stops dreaming — blending past and present like the sea that cradles it.
