Through Dialogue

Tours with Shalom Carmel

Walking the land. Hearing the stories. Making sense of it all — through thoughtful, small-group tours led with clarity, nuance, and care.

Not Just a Tour — An Encounter

Shalom Carmel tours aren’t about ticking sites off a list. They’re about meeting the land slowly, understanding its layers, and allowing history, culture, nature and human stories to speak to one another.

Each experience is guided by Amir Katz, a licensed Israeli tour guide with years of experience leading small groups through some of the most beautiful — and most complex — regions of Israel.

How to Choose Your Tour

Most guests begin in one of two ways. Start wherever feels right:

  • By Location — choose a place that calls to you
  • By Theme — choose the kind of experience you want
