Overview

The tour is guided not only by a professional, certified tour guide & archaeologist - it's guided by a local who was born & raised in the city. I have lived here all my life, and in my tours I share my own personal life & experiences here in the city. I walk you through the narrow alleys used by locals, showing you the city inside & out, with all of its beauty & complexity! If time permits, we might just be meeting and talking to other locals as well!

What To Expect

Akko Old Town
In the old (Ottoman) city, we'll be seeing the city's gate, fortifications, Bustan al-Pasha, some of the markets, residential neighborhoods & one of the recently renovated hotels of the city! We'll also be seeing, from the outside, the city's Ottoman fortress (aka "The Underground Prisoners Museum"), Al-Jazzar Mosque and Zawiyat al-Shaziliyya!

Here we discuss the history, culture & heritage of the city. We also cover everyday life, coexistence (and its complexities), touristic development (and its complexities), food, conservation and more!

2 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Knights' Halls
Here we'll be seeing a Crusader, medieval fortress, called The Knights' Halls (aka "The Underground City" & "Hospitaller Fortress"), which is all underground. This is the biggest site in the city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, packed with amazing stories and beautiful, massive architecture! Here we discuss Akko a the capital city of the 2nd Kingdom of Jerusalem, crafts, industry, daily life & more!

1 hours • Admission Ticket Not Included

Templars Tunnel
The tunnel is a relatively recent discovery in the city, somewhat of a mystery, crossing the city from east to west below the houses & streets! This one, just like the Knights' Halls, is generally dated to the Crusader period. Here we'll be walking through a vaulted tunnel, on a bridge, with water below us, and see what this tunnel might have been used for!
