Shalom,
My name is Shai Shvalb, and I am a professional private tour guide, and the owner of Know the Land. As a storyteller, I love to lead and guide my guests using my private car in the Land of Israel. I am especially enthusiastic about guiding those interested in history and archaeology, interfaith dialogue and comparison, the Bible, Israeli society, and, of course, Israeli food and markets. I guide in a deep and meaningful way, seasoned with a sense of humor.
Palestine is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and tradition -
it is dream-land.

Before I became a tour guide, I managed several businesses in the commerce arena. I then decided that instead of importing goods from China and selling it to shops all over Israel – I’d rather buy knowledge and deliver it to my guests wrapped with exciting experiences, deep spiritual significance, and love for the Land of Israel. I have often heard from the guests that I have guided that the trip experience with me was, for them, a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE
If all the pages that have been written about Israel were spread upon its surface, they would flag it from horizon to horizon like a pavement.
