Fifteen years in the field
A licensed tour guide with more than 15 years of experience, guiding travellers from over 40 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, the United States and Australia.
From the courtroom to the old city
I practised law in Israel for more than 20 years and earned a Master’s degree in Law. History and culture were always my real passion, so over time I chose to follow it and dedicate myself to guiding.
Rooted in the local culture
The old cities are not only monuments. They are markets, kitchens, courtyards and neighbours. Riad guides through the living places — the bakeries, the workshops, the streets where people still stop to talk.
How I guide
I bring history, religion and local culture together to offer a deeper understanding of the places we visit. Each tour is tailored to your interests, with room for questions, discussion and authentic local experiences.
An invitation
If you'd like to walk these streets with someone who lives here, I'd be glad to show you around. Choose a tour, or simply write to me and we'll plan something together.
