If you forget Jerusalem – maybe you should see a doctor!
How can one forget the most famous and largest market in the most famous and largest city in the country?
The Banai family’s burekas, the first stand of the etrog man, Turkish-Lebanese-Israeli doner, delicacies, beers, pastries, and an atmosphere unmatched in the Middle East.
The tour should be consumed on an empty stomach only.
How does it work?
The tour operates through a smart WhatsApp chatbot where you’ll meet Giraffe’s special guide who will accompany, explain, navigate, and of course – pay for you. From the moment of purchase, you’ll have 6 months to take the tour anytime without need for coordination, just arrive at the market hungry on your own time and progress at your own pace.

If yes, click there too, it’s worth it – great video. We invested!
What does the tour include?
6 (!) food and drink stops with choices between various dishes and different businesses, accommodations for gluten-sensitive, vegans, and certified kosher. Is that all? Not at all: there are also routes, navigation and guidance, tours and videos, points of interest and road stories.
Note ❤️- The tour operates through one phone device but it’s for two! At each stop, you’ll receive 2 personal portions or one large portion to share.

*In each category, only one option can be redeemed for both participants.
Is it kosher?
In one word: yes!
In more words: all stops on the tour are certified kosher 🙂
Gluten-free / Vegan?
At each stop there’s at least one vegan option, and in 5 out of 6 stops there will be a gluten-free option. Choosing a vegan/gluten-free option applies to both tour participants. However, at some businesses where you receive 2 personal portions, you can get one regular and one gluten-free/vegan, and for sharing portions, you can request the “gluten” on the side.
