Who's Israel Your Way?
Israel Your Way is a branch of Egged Tours. It is the tourism operations arm of
Egged- the national bus carrier of Israel.
Egged is proud to be one of the most recognized symbols of Israel. Egged Tours is
a subsidiary of Egged Cooperative-the leading public transportation operator in
Israel and one of the largest public transportation companies in the world. For
over 50 years with a fleet of 3,332 buses comprising 1,038 bus lines and transporting
over a million passengers a day on 27,000 routes across 635,000 kilometeres of roads-all
day, every day, all across Israel.
We employ the most experienced and most dedicated staff in the business from the
professionals who create the itinerary to the tours guides to the bus drivers. We
know the pathways of Israel inside and out because we drive the roads and walk the
street and nature trails every single day.
Some of the highlights of the program include hiking up Masada at sun rise, floating
in the Dead Sea, exploring the night life of Tel Aviv and the beautiful mosaics
in the ancient cities of Tzippori and Caesarea.
We know very well that traveling in a land is not enough to really get to know it.
We know that in order for you to get the full flavor of Israel, you will need to
meet its' people. The Israelis, like the Sabra fruit they are named after, are known
to be prickly on theoutside but sweet and soft on the inside. Part of our Israel
experience planned for you is a multi day encounter with Israelis your age that
join the group and share their "insider" knowledge of the places and sites you will
visit together.

Taglit-Birthright Israel trip.
Our Vision
The uniting of the Jewish Family (Jewish People) is the vision of the Jewish Legacy
program.
Each member of the Jewish Family connects to and identifies with different aspects
of being Jewish: religion, history, food, lore, Israel, language, ancient wisdom,
humor, tradition, Zionism, community and more. The program introduces the participant
to many aspects of being Jewish with the trip to Israel. The multi-level, interactive
educational program is built to offer the participant many (fun) experiences and
enrich the participants’ knowledge and understanding of Israel and its role in the
Jewish Family. Using a non-coercive and pluralistic approach, the program allows
the participant to choose those elements which are closest to their heart. After
all, how can you fall in love with something you do not know? By connecting with
one’s own Jewish interests and by recognizing the contribution of the Jewish People
to society on so many levels, the participant will come to identify with Israel
and the Jewish Family as a whole.
Israel Your Way is an exciting new venture that aims to serve Jewish teens, young
adults, adults and families through a wide variety of Israel Programs. As a subsidiary
of Egged Tours, we rely on years of experience in creating dynamic, meaningful programming
that has built up a reputation of quality for Egged’s tours over the last 50 years.
Israel Your Way will use that knowledge and support from our parent company to create
a new range of Israel Programs that will highlight an encounter with Israel and
her people. Egged is one of the most recognized names in the country and throughout
the Jewish world.
