Hebron Dual Narrative Tour vanuit Jeruzalem

First off this tour is completely with seeing, despite its flaws. So I recommend it to you without hesitation. Having said this here are its flaws . 1. It runs a little long. We might have benefited from a little less content, especially the amount of time spent in the Cave of Machpela. Seeing it from both perspectives Was interesting but some way to abbreviate this experience would have helped the tour. The very daunting walk to see a view from Tzipporahs home was tiring and unnecessary. 2. I’m slightly disabled and I found the incessant climbing and terrain daunting. I had to skip a couple of things simply because I was too tired to continue. (I’m 74 years old) I was also very discouraged by the totally implacable positions taken by the representatives of both the Palestinians and the Jewish settlers. I asked both the same two questions and was disappointed with their answers. (1) have you ever met your counterpart from the other side (answer; no) and (2) it’s clear that the situation in Hebron and throughout Israel/Palestine is not tenable long term;what do you see as a future (answer on both sides; we need peace but only on OUR terms But this was a thoroughly educational day and the guide was excellent in presenting both points of view as objectively as he could. Take this tour.

Très heureux d,avoir pu visiter le tombeau des patriarches à Hebron . le guide eliyahu très cordial et des explications détaillées , permettant de mieux comprendre l,histoire du peuple hébreux . la visite côté " palestine" ne m,a pas convaincu. Néanmoins l'accueil dans cette famille palestinienne très chaleureux, même si on n'a pas mangé sur place, il nous ont offert de l,EAU du café et des raisins. des personnes agréables. il me reste une question en suspent. pourquoi ISMAEL le 1er né d'Abraham ne figure pas côté palestien du tombeau dans la mosquée d'écran. Car côté Israélien nous avons Abraham Isaac et Jacob et leurs épouses. pour conclure visite très riche de faits historiques. merci

The guides did an excellent job exposing you to a variety of perspectives, including conversations with a Palestinian man who is being strong-armed into selling his property and with one of the leaders of the Hebron Jewish settlers. I don't think there is another tour like this which is why I'm giving it five stars, although there are a few things which could be improved. The tour of the Tomb of the Patriarchs was a bit too long from both the Palestinian and Israeli sides - seems more appropriate for a religious tour rather than a political one. Additionally, the Palestinian guide - Marwa - was too quiet and seemed to be going through the motions a bit. I think she's new though, so perhaps just needs to get into it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour - one of the most interesting experiences on my trip and I think an eye opening experience.
