Har-El Travels was born out of a love for Israel and a desire to share it.
Doron Harel was born in Yaffo (Jaffa), Israel’s 5,000-year-old coastal city featured in biblical stories from Solomon to Saint Peter. He grew up immersed in the city’s history, hearing its stories, and sailing from its port. Although he spent years backpacking around the globe, the spirit of Yaffo and his love for the land of Israel called him back. It was time to start sharing that love with travelers from around the world.
As you travel, we want you to feel the spirit of the Bible, the ebb and flow of history, the thrill of archeological discovery, the passion of modern Zionism, and the warmth and bustle of the Startup Nation. In over 20 years as a tour guide and organizer, Doron has learned that the best, most immersive experiences are built on personal relationships. That’s why every one of our tours is different.
We want to get to know you. Every group and every family has its own dynamic, its own preferences, and its own needs. Strong personal relationships are what allow us to create itineraries that appeal to unique interests, adapt as needs change, and are comfortable and intriguing for every member of the most diverse groups. Doron and the Har-El Travels team design each tour for the unique needs of each group of visitors.
The result goes beyond tours to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This is your opportunity to walk in the footsteps of our forefathers and to become a part of modern Israel. Our guides use music, art, and literature, conversations with locals, and the feel of the ground beneath your feet to help make ancient and recent history come alive. We take care of logistics, from airlines to accessibility, so that you can be fully immersed.
With personal, detailed service and tailor-made schedules, a Har-El Travels adventure is all about bringing people together in Israel.
