Discover a Mahane Yehuda Market Tour made for you! Mahane Yehuda is the biggest open market in Jerusalem.
The old neighborhood around it, Nachlaot, is a picturesque Jerusalem neighborhood famous for its ethnic diversity and for having as many stories as it does alleyways. The houses, gardens, and people of Nachlaot tell of Jerusalem’s inner life, almost as old and every bit as lively as its grand religious narratives.
Some of the neighborhoods we visit include the Broida Houses, Rand Houses, Zichron Moshe, Sookat Shalom, and the Tin Houses. Nachlaot borders Jerusalem’s biggest open market, Mahane Yehuda: a true Israeli experience that floods all the senses at once.
Though this special tour can be guided by any tour guide, we highly recommend you choose a special tour guide in Jerusalem who specializes in the Mahane Yehuda market. This will make a big difference between a regular tour and an unforgettable one!
Your tour guide in Jerusalem may be the most important factor in your tour in Jerusalem.
It is true that anyone who has completed a course as a tour guide can be authorized to be a tour guide in Israel. Jerusalem is a very significant part of this training, and for a good reason.
Why does it matter so much who will be your Jerusalem tour guide?
As already mentioned, every tour guide in Israel should know how to guide tours of Jerusalem, Yet today there is a clear distinction between the guides who specialize in Jerusalem and tour guides who know how to guide in the city but whose main specialty is elsewhere.
The difference can only be truly understood after a tour with a guide who specializes in Jerusalem. The tour of Jerusalem is always substantially a meeting with people, whether it a tour of Old Jerusalem or the Mahane Yehuda market, The human encounter with the characters of Jerusalem is an essential part of the tour experience. When a Jerusalem guide takes you on a tour there is a better chance that you will meet the most colorful Jerusalemites, which is what makes the difference.
Are there any differences between tour guides in Jerusalem?
Of course, tour guidance in Jerusalem is rich and complex. Over the years developing their skills, tour guides in Jerusalem become specialists in even more specific areas, For example there are guides who are really experts on tours of the Mahane Yehuda market, and the experience you will get with them is the best there is! There are counselors who specialize in subjects such as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and all-religions tours in Jerusalem.
Training in the ceremonies and holidays in Jerusalem is also its own area of training. Yes, in Jerusalem almost every day is a holiday and most of the guides who do not specialize in the field did not always know why today there is a procession in a given church or in the middle of the street. Tour guides in Jerusalem also speak different languages, and anyone looking for a tour guide in Jerusalem for guests from abroad should be quite sensitive here, because the Russian or German or Chinese tourists are not looking for the same thing in Jerusalem. Each of them has a different picture of who Jerusalem is and it is very important to choose correctly.

What are the main styles of Jerusalem tour guides?
Let’s start with the older generation of tour guides. Many such guides like to emphasize the history of Jerusalem, Zionism, and nostalgia. These guides can tell you almost everything about the region’s history, but may not be as responsive to different clients’ needs.
The culinary experience is another real area of focus, and many tour guides in Jerusalem have chosen to emphasize the developing field of culinary tours. With them you can reach the most remote dining spots in the city and find the original kebab, the ancient Tahina factory, and the most secret bakeries!
Tours in the Mahane Yehuda market are another specialty. Recently we have seen the growing popularity of a combination of cooking workshops and tours, such as where you simply go to the market, or hummus tours in the Old City.
A few tour guides choose to specialize in Jerusalem’s neighborhoods, so you can have an in-depth tour of Rehavia, Talbieh, Katamon, and more, exploring the history behind stories like “Someone to Run With” and famous artists like Yossi Banai. Not all tour guides in Jerusalem can show you these stories.
There are also tour guides in Jerusalem who focus on holidays, traditions and celebrations. They know exactly when, for example, the holiday of Epiphany falls and when it is worthwhile to go on a tour of how to bake matzah for Pesach in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods. All this in addition to the Hanukkah tours and Selichot tours that everyone already knows about.
And there are still quite a few more types of tour guides in Jerusalem that have not been mentioned here.
So how do you choose a tour guide in Jerusalem?
Our recommendation is, of course, to tell us who you are, what the purpose of your trip is and what you have already done, and we will find the best suited guide who will lead you to an unforgettable experience. That is our responsibility!
The Mahane Yehuda market has been changing in recent years. Today is known as a great and unique entertainment center for the city’s residents, Israelis from all over the country, and the many tourists who visit Jerusalem.

Groups in the market
There are a huge variety of culinary tours in the Mahane Yehuda Market, so choosing may be difficult.

It is important to pick the right tour guide for your group’s style, whether it’s a family, business, or other sort of group. It is possible to go on a tour based on instructions in an app so you can travel independently, but there is nothing like a tour with a professional guide who knows all the hidden corners of the market and Nahlaot, organizes meetings with colorful characters in the area, knows all of Israel’s world-famous attractions, and offers tastes and fascinating explanations about the most special places in the market.
Guided Mahane Yehuda market tours usually include an excursion through the picturesque alleys of Nahlaot. During the tour, visitors can visit the famous Hanai family, rest under the impressive mulberry tree that appears in Yossi Banai’s poem, discover the water cisterns throughout the neighborhood, and of course listen to fascinating and interesting stories about the residents of Nahlaot and the story of leaving the city walls.

A tour of Jerusalem is not complete without visiting the Western Wall. Israelis and tourists alike must all see the Western Wall to visit when they travel in Jerusalem. Every important person visiting Israel is photographed at the Western Wall.
Also called the Wailing Wall, it is one of the most sacred sites for Jews. Many believers come to pray, cry, celebrate, and make requests. We will tell you a bit about the history of the site and the options for celebrations at the Western Wall.
A little history about the Western Wall
The Western Wall is one of the four supporting walls that have surrounded the Temple Mount (Mount Moriah) from the end of the Second Temple period until today. The Western Wall was built on Herod’s order as part of the renovation and expansion of the site on Mount Moriah in the first century CE. The wall was built of limestone, probably quarried in the vicinity of Jerusalem in the Shuafat area and in the nearby Zedekiah Cave. The upper courses of the Western Wall are later construction. While there is no real possibility of dating any of the stone, the difference between the sizes of the stones can be discerned. Until the Six-Day War, in which the area around the Western Wall was conquered, there was the Mughrabi neighborhood (hence the name “the Mughrabi Gate” to the Temple Mount) next to the Western Wall plaza (where we pray today). After the war it was decided to demolish the neighborhood, lower the level of the street, and expand the plaza for the benefit of the many Jews who dreamed of praying at the Western Wall.
If you look at pictures of the Western Wall before 1948 you can see men and women prayed together at the Wall without any separation at all, contrary to what is accepted today. It is possible to identify words in Hebrew on some of the stones of the Western Wall. These were written by the pilgrims who arrived to pray. (These stones are now found among the middle courses, due to the lowering of the Western Wall plaza). Jerusalem tours usually end at the Western Wall, where travelers will have free time to pray and write requests or prayers on a note.
The sanctity of the Western Wall
For those who come to pray, it does not matter that this is the outer wall of the Temple. What is important is that this is the holiest site of the Jewish people today. It has received this sanctity over many years as the most accessible ancient remnant to the residents of Jerusalem.
After being sanctified by the Jews, the place gained status with Muslims and Christians. In Arabic, it is called al-Buraq, because this is where Muhammad tethered a miraculous beast which he rode on his night journey from Mecca to al-Aqsa and from there ascended to heaven.
Most of the pilgrims arrive during the holidays, Sukkot, Pesach, and weeks in which hundreds of thousands pray.
During the Hanukkah holiday there is a large increase in the number of visitors who want to remember the Maccabees’ victory, the Temple, and the miracle lights, so Hanukkah tours in Jerusalem that pass through the Old City will always end at the Western Wall.
Even during the Selichot period, many worshipers arrive midnight after midnight and the peak is during Yom Kippur. Many Selichot tours end at the Western Wall every year between the first of Elul and Yom Kippur.
Bar Mitzvah Celebration at the Western Wall
The big day has come and you want a profound bar mitzvah for your son? The Western Wall is one of the most exciting ways to celebrate the arrival of the son to the mitzvot. You can do “Aliyah La`torah” on Mondays and Thursdays or Rosh Chodesh.
After the ceremony, it is recommended to take a guided tour (about two hours) in the Jewish Quarter, where you will encounter the history of Jerusalem. A tour of the Western Wall is suitable for all ages.
Treasure Hunt In Jerusalem – This is one of the most famous and old games where competition, knowledge of the area and strategic thinking are combined. Every sense is harnessed to one end, finding the treasure – scavenger hunt in Jerusalem
Can adults enjoy it? Can the vast array of values children enjoy be implemented with adults? A higher level of content, more difficult challenges that will force adults to make an effort, work as a team, develop leadership and strategy, keep time and a tight schedule and much more…
The answer is simple… YES WE CAN!
The tasks must be original and compliant with the group’s character. A high level of experience must be kept while not letting go of the quality levels.
How can we do it? One must know everything about the area of the activity and be able to choose the tracks, the sites visited and the challenges very wisely. The activity must not leave a feeling of “we already did this once”, on the contrary, it must leave a feeling of “how come we didn’t do it until today?!”
The added value is very important in adult area games, it is important that we learn a few new things about the area, the group, our friends and co-workers or family. We need to learn about our strengths and weaknesses as individuals and as a team. We need to fortify our confidence with the good feeling of success, learn how to think before moving, develop strategy, move the people around us and a lot more values that you can choose to implement in the game we build for you.

**From the second candle eve through the eighth.
Jerusalem’s winter lights up for one week every year: the week of Hanukkah. During this holiday thousands of Hanukkah Lamps, or Hannukiyot, line the windowsills in the city’s traditional neighborhoods, as a celebration of the miraculous restoration of worship in the Judean Temple, wrested from the Seleucid Empire in 160 BCE. Experience the joyous holiday spirit as the Hannukiyot are lit and celebrations commence!
Ultra Orthodox Neighborhoods Tour in Jerusalem – Who’s hiding behind the black uniform? What’s the difference between Hasidim and Misnagdim? And what do the pashkvils (banners) say this week?
On this tour we go back in time and “under the sheets” into a world that conducts itself entirely differently from the world we’re familiar with. We’ll hear how it all started and where the ultra-orthodox world is headed. We’ll ask questions like, what are the kosher means of communication? What is the daily routine of an ultra-orthodox man? Why are they so pious? In this tour we will see Jerusalem’s ultra-orthodox neighborhoods, visit various institutions, and meet notable figures and leaders.
Please dress very modestly: women in skirts and sleeves to the elbow, men with a skullcap and shorts below the knee.
* For this tour you will need a special tour guide in Jerusalem; not every tour guide can show you to the inside history and experiences.
We want to discover, make a difference, surprise people, think outside the box, avoid being old-fashioned, keep it simple, rebel, and prove that an experience can, and should, be both exciting and educational.
