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.

Mevaseret Zion Villa overlooking Jerusalem

This magnificent property is located in Mevaseret Zion in an area steeped in vegetation where it dominates the splendid infinite panorama of the Jerusalem mountains.

There are small courtyards and nooks both large and small on the various ground levels, and each area of the garden bears its own character -- an orchard, a hand-made mosaic carpet imprinted in the lower garden pavement, a large clear blue water pool adjacent to a room housing a pampering whirlpool bath (jacuzzi) with a sauna.

The property is a high quality construction, with two large housing units, yielding a particularly high income, and there is also a studio apartment outside the house, for the housemaid, fully equipped with a small kitchen, a toilet and a shower. The inside division of the house is totally convertible, as all the inner walls can be dismantled and rearranged.

The house is equipped with a central heating and air conditioning system, and there is also a built-in fireplace, waiting to be fed by wood in cold winter nights. The living room terrace has been converted into a large dining area with windows all around, overlooking a beautiful mountainous vista. Adjacent to the open, completely accessorized kitchen is a second, concealed cooking area. There are a total of 10 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.

Asking price for this property is $2,575,000.
