Custom Group Tours                              

 A guided tour is the heart of the Neot Kedumim experience. Your guide will design the tour for your group's ages, interests, and walking ability. Tours can range from a brief taste to an all-day experience including a meal in a scenic setting (see facilities).

Tours can focus on text-based study or on hands-on activities for children (and adults), or a combination of both. We are ideally equipped for inter-generational groups. While the children are grinding grain or roasting wheat over an open fire, the adults can hear an enlightening discussion of bread in the biblical tradition. We combine the experiential and the reflective. Tours address the mind, heart, hands, and all the senses.

Languages:

English, Hebrew, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Scandinavian languages.

Hours:

From dawn to dark, with special nighttime tours on illuminated trails.

Designed for early-morning arrivals at the nearby Ben-Gurion Airport, the Early Bird Tour includes a brief walk through the landscapes in the beauty of their sunrise serenity and a biblical breakfast — the perfect introduction to Israel. Groups can also take advantage of the proximity to the airport for a moving and effective farewell.

Activities at our interactive installations include seasonal attractions like

picking olives and making oil in the winter

harvesting wheat in the late spring and summer

picking ripe figs in the summer, grapes in the late summer

and

year-round activities like

preparing hyssop spice

making sachets from fragrant leaves

tasting date honey in the shade of the date palms

A wonderful tour add-on is a Torah-Scribe demonstration. Our skilled and genial scribe demonstrates his art, and participants try their hands at writing with a reed pen. A calligraphy session can be included.
