Fantastic day-trip to Bethlehem with Shareef! - My tour with Shareef was fantastic! I really enjoyed spending time with him. He was very knowledgeable, and he brought us to a lot of amazing sights in Bethlehem. We viewed the beautiful graffiti on the separation wall. We visited the Walled Off Hotel. We visited the Nativity Church and the Milk Grotto. We saw the Christmas tree. We drove around the neighborhoods. We visited Solomon's Pools. We spent time in Aida Camp and spoke with some of the people working at an organization there. And we had a delicious lunch of mansaf. Yum!
I highly recommend touring with Shareef. I learned a lot from him about the history of Bethlehem, the history and culture of Palestine, and about the Occupation. And everything was very safe. Next time I visit Palestine, I definitely plan to reach out to Shareef again.

Memorable Tour - Alhamdulillah, I had a truly meaningful journey in Palestine thanks to Shareef.
He was very professional, patient, and full of historical and Islamic knowledge. He explained the significance of Al-Aqsa, the Old City, Hebron, and Jericho in a very clear and touching way.
He also helped us with border procedures, transport, and local arrangements, making the trip smooth and stress-free.
This was not just sightseeing — it was a journey of iman, history, and brotherhood.
May Allah reward him and I highly recommend his service to anyone visiting Palestine.

10/10 Tour and I’d book again - Excellent tour from Shareef who instantly understood what I was looking to see and do. We visited all the key historical and religious sites including shrines of Nabi Musa, Nabi Yahya, Nabi Lut, Nabi Yunus, and the shrines located inside the Ibrahimi mosque as well as visiting places where Nabi Isa performed some of his miracles. I also visited Church of Nativity and out of coincidence and lucky timing Shareef insisted that we also visit the Bethlehem Christmas Light display (which were turned on after 2 years) in Manger square. This is not something I anticipated doing but very happy Shareef suggested doing this.
There was also other places we went such as Temptation Monastery in Jericho and Herodian National Park in Bethlehem. The days with Shareef were an experience I won’t forget and truly a memorable time that I will never forget.

Amazing day with the best guide - An unforgettable experience in Palestine – Jericho and Bethlehem
I had already visited Jericho and Bethlehem in 2022, but on this new trip in October 2025, I felt like I was rediscovering these places from a completely different angle. Our guide was simply exceptional: extremely competent, cultured, passionate, and full of fascinating anecdotes. His English was perfectly understandable, which made the explanations even more pleasant to follow.
Thanks to him, I learned and saw so many things that I had not noticed the first time. We also had very nice meetings and tasted some absolutely delicious traditional dishes.
A rewarding, humane and flavourful visit — I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to discover the cultural and historical richness of Palestine. Special mention at the Banksy Museum near the separation wall. Not to be missed under any circumstances.
