Our team

I am a Londoner, and benefited from a pretty traditional ‘best of British’ education, graduating from Oxford and embarking on a finance career in the City.  Then life threw a twist, as it does – I fell in love and ended up moving to the Middle East for eleven years, during which time I fell in love again, this time with the region.  Today I am based back in London, with plenty of time in Tel Aviv, Amman, Cairo and Marrakesh, as well as lesser known corners of our region, and a good splattering of time in the USA.  Throughout, my aim is bring our clients a depth of experience of, and understanding for, our complex region which they would not find elsewhere.

Hannah, You are the Goddess of Travel! Deirdre J, NY

As Chief Travel Architect I get a kick out every day out of designing perfect trips for clients, and get to live in a world where my head is constantly full of some of the world’s finest travel destinations.  My favorite site in the region is Egypt is Nuweibah. It is a small beach enclave about halfway between Tabah and Sharm El Sheikh. There are a few scattered resorts and beach huts there but it absolutely one of the most beautiful beaches on earth, and there is a family of dolphins who live in the bay.

With a degree in archeology, I love the many ancient sites found throughout the Middle East and North Africa.  My favorite site is Mamshit (Mempsis), the ancient Roman town located in the north east Negev desert. Located at the edge of a cliff above a dry river, these remarkably preserved ruins of the small fortified Roman border town were partly reconstructed and now host periodical theme craft markets or handcraft activities.

Gal was awesome thru our entire trip…always available to us to answer questions. Alan C, CT

My favourite mode of travel throughout the Middle East is by jeep, through the endless, mystical desert, particularly the Negev of Israel, which runs into the Sinai.  You can discover ancients sites from the Nabateans like Shivta or Mamshit, or totally isolated spots with authentic tents and the clearest night skies.  I also love the great Sahara desert of North Africa which runs all the way from Morocco in the West to Egypt in the East.

So helpful, kind and extremely professional.

My absolute favorite place in our region is Morocco.  I love to wander through the winding alleys of the Marrakech medina, and marvel at the colorful markets, exquisite architecture, and taste the flavorful street food. I also love exploring the Sahara Desert, and especially spending a magical night under the stars in a traditional camp. Another highlight is the coastal city of Essaouira, known for its laid-back atmosphere, charming blue and white buildings, and historic fortifications.

I am so lucky to  have travelled to the US and Canada, the UK and France, Australia, South Africa, and Southern Africa, all of which gave me the travel bug and led me to this industry.

I love culture, and the Temples of the region from  Petra, to Luxor, to the remains at Jerusalem and Acre will bring out your Indiana Jones spirit.  But I also love nature, especially the Sea and the calm waters of the Med.

Samantha – we are back home now but I wanted to send you an email letting you know what a great job you and your team did while we were in Israel. Terry S, Texas

I love the history of ancient Egypt, it is absolutely fascinating to me to consider how sophisticated these ancient people were, from architecture to art to science.  Luckily for us the ancient wonders left for us to visit are as remarkable as they are colossal, and I love sharing these sites with clients.

I love spending time by the sea, and the Mediterranean coastline in Israel is a special place for me, as well as the Red Sea in Eilat which also touches Jordan and Egypt.  On the Med coast I love the buzz, beach bars, restaurants and waves of Tel Aviv, all the way up to Naharia, I especially love how friendly the people are in the region – there is a warmth here you don’t always find in Europe.  I can’t wait to share all of this with you!

I love travelling and have travelled along the entire western coast of the United States and throughout South America. I loved exploring the world and experiencing different countries, travelling is magical!

I am a travel professional with a passion for creating meaningful and memorable experiences.  I simply love Jerusalem for its unique vibe, authenticity, and deep sense of history. To me, the city feels truly holy. Every time I visit Jerusalem, I feel like a first-time tourist all over again — discovering something new each time. I love visiting the market, strolling along Ben Yehuda Street and Mamilla Alrov Avenue, and I always feel the need to visit the Kotel (Western Wall) and include a meaningful prayer.

I am a fully licensed Israeli tour guide, and have taught and lectured on Land of Israel Studies and the wider Middle East, including Moroccan Jewish Heritage. I am fluent in English and Hebrew, and proficient French, Arabic, and Turkish. I am deeply committed to helping clients get the very best from their journeys, and bring professional expertise and personal passion to every itinerary.

I’m Egyptian born and bred and I still can’t wrap my head around how diverse and multilayered this country is. The history, the art, the culture, the beaches, the food! There’s always something to do, to see and to eat! In Egypt you’ll experience a warmth and togetherness that you won’t find anywhere else and you’ll definitely want to come back time and time again

I have a long-standing passion for Egypt and the wider Middle East and have a deep appreciation for the rich history and vibrant culture. Fascinated by ancient civilizations and enduring traditions, I am continually inspired by the stories and heritage that shape this part of the world. Among my favorite destinations is Cario, a city I return to time and again for its dynamic energy and endless discoveries . Beyond the vast historic legacy, Cairo hosts a thriving arts scene and growing culinary landscape, offering something new to discover with every visit.

I have been fascinated by the history and culture of the Middle East all my life. I led bespoke tours throughout the region for many years and travelled to Egypt well over one hundred times. I don’t have a favourite place, put me down in a bustling cafe, an archaeological site, or a desert oasis and I am equally happy. The contrast of the ancient and modern will keep me returning time after time and I love to share my passion with discerning travellers.
