Shai Shvalb

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.

In 2019 I published a one-of-a-kind Hebrew English dictionary about the Land of Israel – *Know the Holy Land*. I recently (2022) finished writing the manuscript for my second book in English – *A Bridge to your Roots*. Using my knowledge of the Bible and Hebrew, my book connects Evangelical Christian believers to the Land of Israel, where all the roots of their faith began at the time of Jesus. So stay tuned

I offer you my services as a one-stop shop for all your needs in Israel: guidance, transportation, booking hotels, VIP handling at the airport, and anything else you might need.
