Places people have come to pray for thousands of years. I'll tell you not only what happened here, but why it's holy — and to whom.
02
Ancient empires
Egyptians, Nabateans, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders and Ottomans all came through, and every one of them left something behind. History in context, not as a list of dates.
03
Modern Israel
How a state came into being that brought people here from everywhere, and why this country is still argued over. You'll get the background and the competing versions — the conclusion is yours.

Landscape
Deserts, canyons and wadis, ibex coming down to drink, and craters that exist almost nowhere else. From an easy walk to a full day on foot — I'll set the pace to you.
05
Food, spice and wine
A crossroads of three continents — you smell it in the spice stalls, taste it at the table, and drink it in wine from vineyards that run from the Galilee down to the desert.
