Simon says: “Come dine with me on a Combo Druze culinary & history tour"
We will visit two Druze towns in the north of Israel, experiencing two businesses that have won awards - a beautiful garden and an amazing place where Gamila Hiar has been using her knowledge of nature to create products made from fifteen healing herbs grown only in the Galilee along with a combination of pure plant oils - with no artificial colours or fragrances - to produce face oils, hand & foot cream, cleansing bars, candles & more.
For brunch You will enjoy Galilean Druze salads, eggs, cheeses, olives, falafel & more, served alongside freshly baked Druze pita, and fragrant, black coffee.
Our last stops are to the ancient 2000-year-old town of Peki'in which has a population of Druze, Christians, Muslims and one remaining Jewish woman. There we will visit the old synagogue and hear the story of this ancient Jewish community. There is also the cave of Rabbi Shimon who hid from the Romans in 149 CE
