About Me          
 
My name, Benayah, is an old biblical name, which means: "God's Son".

I was born in Israel, a true "Sabra", but also lived in Europe, learning the local habits. For 30 years I guided all types of tours: "Classical" Bus-Tours, Private Tours, Senior Tours, Trekking Tours, etc... - knowing from personal experience the local Religions and Ethnical Groups (I studied in a Yeshiva - a Jewish religious High-School, I speak fluent Arabic and lived with my Danish stepmother in a Baptist home, and my other stepmother was an ex-Catholic Nun).

I was 6 years owner & Product Manager of a Tour Company specializing in Cross-border tours between Israel, Jordan & Egypt and work now as an independent Tour Guide.

I am currently developing and training Guides on the “Abraham's Route Project” - a touristic enterprise with the concept of uniting the different religious and ethnic groups in Israel that have Abraham as common prophet.

Let me guide you off-the-beaten-track and let's enjoy together the rich nature & cultural treasures of Israel and its neighboring countries. When we return, I hope that we will be back with a slightly better view of things...!
