I went on the tour in 2010 with a friend. Our guide Yamen was very memorably upbeat. The tour had a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, with everyone on the tour becoming instant friends. Even though visiting Hebron is a somber experience, it should really be done. If you have never traveled in Palestine before, or are a more novice... More

My wife and I booked a private tour that was tailor-made to allow visits to Bethlehem, Hebron, Ramallah, and Jericho in one day. The organisation of the tour by email through Jehanne at Murad was excellent. Our guide for the day was Yamen who we cannot recommend highly enough. If you want to see both the historical sights and the... More

My husband and I are just back from a 10-day Israel vacation and I needed to be sure to write a review on Murad Tours before I get distracted and forget. We spent one day with Yamen in Bethlehem and visited the Church of the Nativity, the Aida UN Refugee Camp, different points along the separation wall and had lunch... More

From Bethlehem to Jericho, crossing alternative roads that hide wild landscapes: a quick but complete tour of the city, followed by a necessary stop to an 'all you can eat' restaurant. Then destination Dead Sea, through the Jordan Valley: a swim into its salty water and a beauty therapy with its magical mud. On the way back, you can admire... More

I am backpacking and have never done a tour as I like to walk around at own speed! However there are some places you need to know where you are and the significance of what you are looking at! I knew the history of the situation however being shown around it and the places you couldn't find yourself was eye-opening... More

We took a hike with Murad Tours (Bethlehem), crossing the Judean Desert on foot to descend amazing cliffs and swim and play in the Dead Sea at Mitzuke Daragot beach. Our tour guides (Alice and Yamen) were excellent - very professional and knowledgeable about the region and its politics and environment, and the hike itself was absolutely spectacular. I recommend... More

My wife and I did Bethlehem and Hebron with Yamen in January 2013. Because of snow in Jerusalem, others had cancelled so we had a private tour of the West Bank. Yamen was an amazing guide: he is knowledgeable about the area, knows many people, and he was most importantly very friendly. He made us feel safe and always took... More

Yamen facilitated an amazing tour with my group of mostly solo travelers through Bethlehem and Hebron (al-Khalil). What was great about the tour was that it was very efficient, yet also educational and personal. Yamen gave us the opportunity to meet with and talk to several locals - such as in the Aida Refugee Camp and on the streets in... More

My husband and I were really interested to see the Nativity church and religious sites in Bethlehem, but we also wanted to experience Bethlehem today and understand a bit of the Palestinian situation. This tour was perfect. Our tour guide, Yamin, was great. He pointed out amazing graffiti, took us to a refugee camp, walked us through markets and also... More
