Thumbprints: People Who Left Their Mark on Jerusalem Tour Repeat visitors to Jerusalem are often familiar with the physical marvels of the city - the holy sites, the markets, the museums and the lookout points. However, nestled unobtrusively amidst the city's walls and buildings are the homes, sometimes modest, sometimes impressive, of some of the most fascinating historical residents of the city. This tour will explore a small area within the triangle of Jaffa Gate, Street of the Prophets and Nahalat Shiva; it is a tour of stories - about people who braved enormous hardships simply to live in Jerusalem, who were fanatically devoted to their causes and who left behind legacies we still enjoy today.

figures of the Jezreel Valley before there were kings of Israel. The tour will begin at the summit of Mount Tabor with its breathtaking view. On a clear day you can see from Mount Hermon to Netanya.

Kings of the Jezreel Valley Tour Revisit the books of Samuel and Kings as we examine the first kings of Israel, and enjoy the spectacular views and wildlife of
the Jezreel Valley. We begin our tour at Tel Jezreel and walk along the ruins of King Ahab's winter palace with a majestic view of the most fertile land in all Israel. In the winter and spring the fields are a lush green plain only broken up by meandering streams and the rolling hills of the lower Galilee. Ahab's rule was both brilliant and tragic and his story reads like a Shakespearean tragedy. The players include the prophet Elijah, a farmer named Navot, pagan priests and a queen named Jezebel. There is love, betrayal, sorcery, accusations, prophecies, a lynching, mock trials and a valiant battle doomed to failure. We walk along the hilltop admiring the many
species of fauna and flowers before moving up to the Gilboa Range. More... .
