ARRIVING BY CRUISE SHIP
Private shore days from Haifa and Ashdod
Your own licensed guide and vehicle, waiting at the port. One family or one group, never shared with other passengers.
Plan my port dayHOW IT WORKS
A day planned backwards from your ship
Private only. This is not a coach and not a day shared with strangers. It is your family or your group, with a guide who knows the route and the clock.
We start from the time you must be on board. Tell us your ship, the port, when it docks and the time everyone has to be back. We plan the day from the end, so the last stop is never a rush.
We meet you at the port. Your guide and vehicle wait for you, with the day agreed in advance, so there is nothing to negotiate on the quay.
A private tour is not a ship excursion. The ship will not wait for a late return, so we keep a comfortable margin and agree the return time with you beforehand. If a day would be too tight, we say so and suggest a shorter one.
FROM ASHDOD
Most guests head to Jerusalem
Jerusalem is about an hour from the port, which is why it is the favorite. A few ways to spend the day:
Jerusalem, with or without Bethlehem
The Old City in one unhurried day. We can lean towards Jewish Jerusalem (the Western Wall, the Jewish Quarter, the Temple Mount view) or keep it balanced, and add Bethlehem if you would like it, with a local guide there, or leave it out for a gentler day.
Masada and the Dead Sea
Up to the mountain fortress above the Dead Sea, then the lowest shore on earth. A day of desert light and very little walking in between.
Jerusalem and a float in the Dead Sea
The Old City in the morning, then a short drive down to the Dead Sea to float. A full day for those who want both.
Nazareth and the Galilee (a long day)
Far, but possible: Nazareth, and the shore of the Sea of Galilee. We will tell you honestly whether it fits your time in port.
FROM HAIFA
The north, close to the ship
From Haifa the Galilee, Nazareth and the coast are near. Jerusalem is about two hours away, so it makes a long day.
Nazareth and the Galilee
Nazareth, and the Sea of Galilee, a day through the hills of the north.
Akko, Haifa and Caesarea
The Crusader city of Akko, the Baha'i Gardens over Haifa and Herod's harbor at Caesarea: the coast, close to the ship.
Safed and Akko
The mystic hill town of Safed with its artists' lanes and synagogues, then the old port of Akko on the way back.
Jerusalem, with or without Bethlehem (a long day)
Far from Haifa, but many guests want it. We will tell you honestly whether it fits your time in port, and which parts to choose.
Do you have a different idea, or a mixed group with different wishes? Tell us. A private day can be built around what your party wants.
