Join tour guide Gaby Zohar for a unique and unusual tour of the alleys of the Old City of Akko and outside the walls through figures who worked throughout the various periods in Akko.
A trip with the story of Akko through the ghosts, real characters from the city’s fascinating past.
During the tour we will meet the Ramban, Ahmad Pasha al-Jazer, the Crusader king Henry II, Chaim Farhi the Jewish adviser who prevented the conquest of the city by Napoleon, a French officer who participated in the failed siege, Dov Cohen, commander of the Akko prison break-in and other figures.
The characters are played by a professional actor during the tour.
In addition to his work as a tour guide and his love for the country and its trails, Gaby is a journalist at Kol Yisrael, Haaretz, and local radio and television stations.
