The hilly landscape along the Mediterranean coast near to the town of Tamra in the North of Israel is particularly enchanting: thousands of pomegranate, olive and fig trees are growing on the hills. We now offer the opportunity to live and help at small family-run farms which cultivate pomegranates, olives and figs. The guests will be warm-heartly (in the purest meaning of the word) integrated into the village community and will be pampered with food and entertainment. You will live with a Palestinean family and you don't need to be afraid at all that you will be abused as cheap labour - rather you will dive into a completely different way of life and will be part of an intact village community.

The extensive fosterage of the pomegranates starts in April and they will be harvested from the middle of October on. Olives are being gathered between October and December and at the same time the pressing of the olive oil begins - this process is particularly interesting. During the time of the harvest, life in the village is very active: Everyone of the village including children and grandparents are helping. Everyone is just like a big family. Homestay in this village however is possible throughout the year: Also during the other months of the year you won't be bored.

Tamra is located in the very North of Israel near the seaport of Haifa close to Israel's boarder with Lebanon. This is the part of the country  which is furthest away from the riots of the Gaza strip and West Jordan land. We would not offer this homestay if we were not convinced that Tamra is a safe place for our participants to stay.

Accommodation at a family home and meals are inclusive.
