I have visited Acre several times, and always been taken to see the Jail but on this visit, we saw this quite unique Synagogue. Every surface, floors, walls and ceilings are in magnificent mosaic, showing scenes from the Old Testament and other day to day scenes. Well worth a visit.

We offer you a few hours of refuge from your hectic schedule to enjoy a lovely view of the northern shores from the sea.

I am a native Arab of the city Acre (Akko). I am a licensed tour guide in all of Israel (license number 12550), specializing in Acre and the North of Israel. I have a B.A in General History and Art History. When studying for my degree, my main interest was Classical History and I studied Ancient Greek for two years. I still read widely and enjoy fishing. My tours are in Arabic, English, and Hebrew, and I am currently learning Dutch (my wife’s mother tongue). I love my work because I get to interact with all the shades of the human spectrum and adjust the tours according to my clients’ interests, and because it allows me to share my love for the sites and for my home town of Acre.

The Hospitallers, the Order of the Knights of St. John, built this impressive fortress more than 700 years ago.

Though I have visited Acre (or Akko, St Jean d'Acre) several times, Wisam Kharouf's guided tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site brought new discoveries and historical facts to light. The benefit of spending time with a local guide was immediately apparent. Wisam is a native of the city (his family have lived in Akko for several hundred years) and he wears his considerable knowledge and academic background lightly, making the highlights of our visit accessible and interesting to three generations! We saw several aspects of the City in all its unique grandeur. Wisam guided us through the old city with its remarkable excavations and restorations of the Halls of Crusader Knights, the magnificent central courtyard and the Khan Al-Umdan, the 18th century caravanserai near the port. We also visited the Ramchal (or Rabbi Luzzatto) Synagogue with its connections to this poet and Kabbalist who arrived in Akko in 1743. We strolled through the atmospheric Market Street and heard the call to prayer from the El-Jazzar Mosque that dates from 1782. Altogether, this proved to be an exciting and informative day for our family group, thanks to Wisam, who patiently answered questions and offered generously of his valuable knowledge and experience as a Tour Guide.

Spectacular manicured gardens surrounding the shrine that sits on the outskirts of Akko. Everything is immaculately groomed and exploding with color. Be sure to talk with the Bahai volunteers who come from all over the world to tend the gardens,

The old city is a delight. Wonderful nooks and crannies ; doors opening to reveal gardens and homes nestling within the Acre historic City walls over hundreds of years - Ottoman; Crusader Mameluke and Napoleon too. Churches abut synagogues and mosques. The port is bustling ; the Mediterranean blue and you can feel the presence of those who lived loved and fought in ancient Acre There is a fascinating Caravan Sarai which is locked up and derelict Oh but you have to walk ,Climb up and down cobbled paths and tiny lanes. So if you find that difficult it’s not an excursion for you.
8. Templars Tunnel

A must experience while visiting Old Acre! Interesting history brought to life through audio and visual enhancements while deeply enveloped within the city's old walls. Quite enjoyable to explore the remarkable 800 year old construction by the Knight's Templar, during the time of the Crusades, when this tunnel was used as safe passage between the old port to the Templar Palace. The ceiling is low in places, but I did not have the uncomfortable feeling of claustrophobia while exploring this 150 meter marvel. Enjoy!
