We will visit the Ottoman Clock Square, the Canaanite peak of Jaffa with its amazing view, unique churches, the ancient, narrow streets that speak to us through the stones and artists that live there.

The desert in the south of Israel, and the Galilee in the north—2 different worlds that are within a two hour drive of Jerusalem. We will meet communities of minorities and visit holy sites in magical natural surroundings, and ancient cities of extinct cultures. We will sail in lakes and swim in springs, and we will enjoy hospitality in a Bedouin tent or Druze home.
