The city of Jerusalem has a history that dates back since time immemorial. The various religious shrines, tombs, churches and mosques make Jerusalem a popular destination both for the pilgrims as well as for those tourists looking forward to spend a wonderful vacation in Israel. The Jerusalem tours are specially designed keeping in mind the needs of the visitors of three oldest monotheist faiths - Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Congratulations! Going on tour is a big dream of mine. I am not a musician like yourself, but I do have a passion in songwriting and singing. Ever since I learned how to hold a microphone, I have been dreaming of having my own concert tour. I know that it is a lot of work, but I want to be able to sing for thousands of people. Just the thought of knowing that people paid to see me sing is definitely heartwarming.
