Gal Mor

CEO at Abraham Hostel Jerusalem

“Gal Mor has always been a world traveler. Born in Jerusalem, he spent several of his early years with his family in Liverpool, England and Edmonton, Canada. At 18, after backpacking Europe for three months, he returned to Israel to complete his mandatory military service where he graduated as an officer in the IDF Liason unit to UN forces posted in the Golan Heights as well as the Egyptian and Jordanian armies. After another year of around-the-world travel, he returned again to attend Hebrew University in Jerusalem studying International Relations and Media. He then headed to Berlin where he lived for three years working in the Israeli embassy and seeing more of Europe, South American and North America.

It was in Berlin that he was connected with New Europe Tours, a company offering free tours of the Europe’s most beloved cities, and it was then that he realized his desire to blend his entrepreneurial spirit with his love for travel. Soon it became clear that Israel, his home, was where it should all come together.

He returned to open the first New Europe branch outside of Europe and went on to manage it for two years. During this time he also founded the Indie Travelers’ Center in the Old City providing free information on travel and hosting tours in the Middle East region. It was clear how much Israel and this region had to offer to travelers, and specifically to independent backpackers like himself, but also how inaccessible it all was. This motivated the expansion of Sandeman’s to Jerusalem, the opening of the Travelers’ Center and was the driving force behind his involvement in Abraham Hostel Jerusalem.

Gal wanted to create a clean, affordable, all-inclusive hostel where he, as an independent backpacker, would want to stay. Soon after meeting Maoz, Yaron, Nitzan, and Dror he set to work finding the location that the hostel occupies today.

The Indie Travelers’ Center became Abraham Tours and moved into the lobby of the hostel and Gal became manager of both the tour company and the hostel. Today, Gal is investing his time and energy into the development of Abraham Tours, adding to and improving the many tours and services it provides in Jerusalem, Israel and the Region.

Gal is also in charge of leading the next expansion of Abraham Hostel into other cities in the region. He is seeing his dreams realized as more and more independent backpackers come to Israel, see and experience it for what it is, stimulate its local economy and come to love it as he does.

Gal currently lives in Ma’ale Hahamisha, a kibbutz next to Jerusalem, with his wife and two young sons.”

Hotel Efendi

Nestled in the picturesque narrow lanes of Acre, the Efendi Boutique Hotel overlooks the historic city walls and the magnificent Mediterranean Sea beyond. The unique structure of this boutique hotel combines two ancient houses that have hundreds of years of history stored within their walls. These houses were meticulously reconstructed and merged into one building before being converted into a boutique hotel. The Efendi boutique hotel is the fulfillment of a dream long held by Uri Jeremias, chef and proprietor of the famed Uri Buri restaurant. Complex preservation and restoration work over a period of eight years gave birth to a gorgeous, breathtaking pearl that was truly a labor of love. Thought was invested in each and every detail of the preservation work, which was performed under the supervision of the Antiquities Authority. Artisans were specially flown in from Italy in order to undertake this delicate work, as well as the restoration of the beautiful ceilings. Also preserved was a fresco of the city of Istanbul, which was found at the site. The fresco had been created in 1878 in honor of the new Orient Express train station.

Synergy Spa, Dead Sea

Synergy is the joint action of different elements that provides a better result than the sum of each of the separate individual actions. On this basis, we have founded Synergy Spa. We have found the most beautiful location with the most amazing view. One of the only places from which a single glance encompasses the magical view of the Dead Sea and the Moab Mountains, the amazing Ein Gedi reserve, the glorious Haetekim Cliff and the Judean Desert. A marvelous combination of blue, green and brown. Nature has contributed its part by filling the air with oxygen and bromine, enriching the salt waters with minerals and creating the serenity which can only be found in the desert. We have established an architectural construction that is respectful of the environment and is a pearl in and of itself. We have brought together the best, most professional and friendliest therapists and designed a selection of treatments that responds to all wishes and requests, from traditional treatments which are thousands of years old, to the most recent and most modern ones.

It resides in a renovated picturesque 19th century villa in the heart of Jerusalem, next to the Russian compound and overlooking the Ethiopian church. It is merely a 5 minute walk to the old city walls and right by the city center, on 54 Ha’Neviim Street.

The villa was originally built as the family home of a wealthy Jewish doctor who served as the general manager of the Rothschild hospital in Jerusalem. Considered one of the most impressive in the area, the villa housed receptions and balls, and served as a meeting point for the local elite. It has now been fully renovated and two extra floors were added with services and facilities required to meet the needs of the savvy modern traveler. The hotel features 24 plush rooms and suites, a garden bistro-café, rooftop spa and terrace, meeting room, library and a unique underground “Cave Bar” located at the old water well underneath the house.
