Jericho to Jerusalem, walking the ancient trail of the Good Samaritan
We attempt to walk from Jericho to Jerusalem along the ancient path which the Good Samaritan would have taken. An epic 2-day journey via the Wadi Qelt (River Kelt) and Saint George Monastery!
This hike follows a narrow path between the mountains for over 30 miles (50km). And in the midst of the empty wilderness, we found water!
Correction at 8 minutes 46 seconds (8:46) — The Monastery was destroyed by the Persians, not the Muslims.

In this video we share our journey of leaving Tiberias (the North) for three weeks, and travel to the south. Before going to our last work -stay at the Vineyard in Be'er Milka we took a day to explore the awesome sites in Mitzpe Ramon. The Crater is breath-taking and the animals we encounter are unbelievable. You will see nature at its best.
The time we spent at the vineyard/essence farm was amazing. The couple who own the farm are so hospitable. It was hard to leave this incredible land. We have truly come to appreciate the history of the country and to our beliefs.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
