  • Incredible experience with outstanding guides

    Cannot possibly say enough about this experience. Picked up at hotel and brought to meet another bus at a Cafe with an incredible view of Jerusalem - bonus! Joined our charistmatic Brddoin guide Ali, one other person in the 4x4 with us. I don't think there is anything Ali does not know - our tour was filled with history, getting to see and head about desert plants and their uses, desert animals, desert survival, Bedoin customs. We learned so much while traversing rocky paths up and down inclines sometimes steeper than any I have experiences in anything other than a roller coaster. After a nice long sojourn we met up with another bus that took us to Qumran center for lunch and then down to the Dead Sea. Guide for this portion of the trip was Dan Porges, another fine and knowledgeable guide who was good at keeping everyone together and moving. Tour included some additional small stops (in listing) that we also found valuable. The buses that took us to and from Jerusalem had good a/c and working usb ports. I could not have asked for any more from this day. I would absolutely use this tour company again - will be seeking them out for additional tours in the future, and also recommending them to anyone who asks. Seriously, what a great day!

    We did a tour of Masada and the Dead Sea from Jerusalem and had an incredible day! Our tour guide Yoav was brilliant. He was very informative, funny and answered everyone’s questions. The day was very well organised and everything ran smoothly. This is a great way to explore this beautiful part of Israel. I would highly recommend Bein Harim Tours.

    Totally defrauded This is the scrap we have been put on for the excursion, we have paid more than 300 € to go in that scrap car, in full sun, swallowing dust and about to tip over several times, it is a shame, you sell it as a 4x4 with air conditioning. No safety, no hygiene, no comfort, hold on where you can because you fly out. He has no seat belts, no windows, nothing... I've never ridden a vehicle so old and dirty. You should give us the money back, since our wasted vacation time is not returned by anyone. Confirmation number: 1319786794Reservation reference number: 930226814

    We had a great time with Dan Porges as our tour guide and Ali driving us around the Dead Sea! Ali made a great narrator while making sure we all felt safe traversing the desert. The highlight of the trip was a lovely picnic with Ali out the back of the 4WD, overlooking the stunning gorge and monastery. It was a shame that we missed the Qumran caves due to last-minute rearrangements, but overall would highly recommend this tour!

  • Best desert safari experience with ALI

    My daughter and I had the best experience with Ali driving through to Dragot Cliffs and Wadi Murbaat. I have travelled in Israel many times and I have used bein harim/egged tours several times in the past; this was by far the best experience. I strongly recommend it to anyone travelling solo or with children. (It would be awesome if the tour operator offered the option to finish the day with Ein Gedi instead of Kalia Beach)

  • Awesome!!!

    Hi fellow globetrotters, I would like to commend the Bein harim tour agency for the following reasons. Firstly, staff are friendly and informative. For instance, Ali the tour guide and driver for safari desert give so much information about the desert and also make us a cup of tea from the plant available in the desert. Ali, you are amazing!!!. Daniel, on the other hand, is the tour guide in dead sea. He is friendly and share his knowledge about Israel's history. Moreover, the price is reasonable for a solo traveler. The agency will inform you in advance for any changes. All in all, the amiable staff and reasonable price are some of benefits that travelers can get from awesome Bein Harim tour agency. Cheers, Patrick

    Full day from Jerusalem. Over the years we had done many of the tours and excursions within and outside of Jerusalem so figured this was a good option. Transportation to our 4x4 from hotel was efficient. We were maybe 4-5 hours in the Land Rover 4x4, with six others and it was fantastic! The driver , Ali, was very very funny, knowledgeable and experienced. Hard to imagine that the 4x4 was able to scale some of those embankments but it did. Ended off with an hour or so at the Dead Sea for a “swim”. Highly recommended!

  • The tour was an hour late picking...

    The tour was an hour late picking everyone up so the desert safari was cut short by one hour and we did not have our drink and snack that was to be provided. The desert views were amazing and a little scary. The driver of the desert tour took us to a drop off place to meet up with the original driver which was not the correct place and gave us the first driver cell and told us to call and have him pick us up there, we were to originally meet at the Dead Sea. Another person with us was unable to call the first tour guide, so he called the company. The safari tour driver lied and told the company that we requested to be dropped at that location instead of the Dead Sea. We were finally picked up an hour later and did go to the Dead Sea.
