Overview
The Samaritans are a small, ancient tribe living on Mount Gerizim in the middle of the Holy Land, many people know the expression “Good Samaritan” that comes from the Bible story, but most people don't know that the Samaritans were actually once a nation, they trace back themselves to ancient Israelites over 3650 years ago. Thousands of tourists from all over the world come to meet the Samaritans and learn about their history, and traditions on Mount Gerizim. We offer you an experience you will never forget, this is the closest you can get to touch the heart of the holy land, not many people know about the Samaritan culture, and we want to change that, because we believe it is a unique story here in the middle east, since the Samaritans are the only holders of both Israeli and Palestinian Nationalities, Our tour guide Abdallah Cohen is one of the Samaritans who live on the sacred mountain he is very passionate about his work and will happily share the Samaritan traditions with you.

The most fascinating place in Israel/Palestine

a "Must Do"
The day in Samaria (Mt. Gerizim and Nablus (West Bank) was the high point of our Israeli trip. We were able to encounter OT Biblical times through the ongoing traditions practiced even today by the Samaritan community. We saw a very nice museum and worship center on top of…

Highlight of my trip to Israel
I’ve been to Israel on six different occasions, and didn’t realize until this last visit, that there’s one area that I totally missed out on by not visiting. On my recent visit, I went on the “Samarian Experience”, and was totally amazed by what I learned and felt. Like most…

Great and unique experience
I had a great time with Abood and his friend Breeto who took us to Jacob's well, the Holy Mount Gerizim and met with his grandpa who is the High priest and enjoyed delicious Samaritan snack prepared by grandma. They made us feel at home. The view from the top of Mount Gerizim…
