Unveiling Israel's Hidden Gems

Israel evokes an emotion in everyone. I’ve had the pleasure of sending many clients to Israel over the years and without exception, they come back changed in meaningful ways. With the right preparation and a few smart safety tips, exploring the Holy Land can be a deeply inspiring and secure experience.

Getting There: El Al Airlines offers the most nonstop flight options to Israel, but all the major international carriers also provide convenient service from their hub cities, making access easy from almost anywhere. On arrival, I recommend a VIP meet and greet to personally escort you smoothly and quickly through customs and immigration for a seamless start to your time in Israel.

The Heart: Beyond the classic highlights lies a deeper, more immersive experience. One that takes you off the beaten path and into the heart of Israeli culture, history, and adventure. From the ancient, winding streets of Jerusalem to the stark landscape of the Dead Sea, and the vibrant energy of Tel Aviv, Israel offers something for every traveler. You can wander through centuries-old souks, float effortlessly in the saltiest waters on Earth, or dance until dawn in beachside clubs. Each city tells a different story all within just a few hours’ drive. With an abundance of prestigious, world-class accommodations and exquisite first-class hotels, you will surely not be disappointed.

Experiences: Here are just a few unique and unforgettable experiences I can arrange for you:

• Glamping in the Ramon Crater, Luxury Under the Desert Skies: Nestled within the world’s largest erosion crater, your luxury tent becomes a private oasis amid the vast Negev Desert, by day explore the ancient Nabatean spice routes, rappel down rugged cliffs, sunrise yoga or sunset hikes.

• The Wonders Beneath the Western Wall: Walking through the Western Wall Tunnels feels like stepping into a secret Jerusalem. Above, crowds press close to touch the exposed stones, but down here, everything is quiet.

• Adventure Activities: including ATV rides in the Jerusalem Hills and Golan Heights, rappelling on the Old City walls, commando training and shooting experiences, or a bike tour through Tel Aviv

• Cooking with a Chef at Machane Yehuda: Machane Yehuda is Jerusalem’s famous open-air market, known for its fresh produce, spices, baked goods, street food, and vibrant energy.  The chef knew everyone. We carried baskets brimming with produce and it felt like stepping into a friend’s home, the counters lined with clay pots, cutting boards, and copper pans. Together, we chopped, peeled, mixed, and tasted.

• Caesarea and the Art of Glass Blowing: Along Israel’s Mediterranean coast, this ancient city blends Roman grandeur with timeless sea views. We walked through the ruins of King Herod’s port city. Inside the studio, we watched the glassblower gather molten glass

• Helicopter Flight: over Israel’s diverse landscapes and historical sites

• Boat Ride: on the Dead Sea or the Mediterranean Sea during sunset

• Private Home Hospitality: Local Israeli families—Jewish, Christian, Druze (a unique religious and ethnic community living mainly in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. Their faith began in the 11th century as an offshoot of Islam, but today is an independent religion with its own sacred texts and spiritual leaders) —featuring home-cooked meals, cultural exchange, and optional cooking classes

• Galleries & Graffiti Tour: in Tel Aviv’s creative neighborhoods

• Geopolitical Jeep Tour: along the Israel-Lebanon-Syria border with a local expert

• 
  

Extended regional experiences are also available, including visits to Jordan (Petra, Wadi Rum) and Egypt (Nile cruise, pyramids, hot air balloon over Luxor), making your trip even more expansive and unforgettable.
