About the Tour
Our educational tour for groups, individuals and VIPs is designed for diplomats and opinion leaders. Thousands of tourists, Israelis, decision makers and opinion leaders have participated in our tours as well as US congressmen, Israeli Knesset members and members of parliament from Europe and around the world.
Our tour covers the northern peripherals of Jerusalem, including Nebi Samuel (Shmuel Hanavi’s tomb) lookout point, Kalandia checkpoint and security barrier, Hussein’s palace observation point, view from French Hill on the Shuafat Refugee Camp and view to the Old City from Mount Scopus. Many of these areas are not well known and are rarely visited.
The tour focuses on five main issues:
- Geography – where are east and west Jerusalem and their borders?
- Demographics – who lives where and how many, growth and fertility stats?
- Legal issues – who has sovereign rights to Jerusalem? Who builds legally and illegally?
- Security – what are the threats and from whom?
- Strategic analysis – different viewpoints outlining the political future, policy options for future of the city security, demographic and urban challenges.
