The Fauda Experience: A Tour of Israel’s Secrets

Israel’s security forces and special intelligence operations have fascinated and intrigued the world for decades. From well-documented stories, where truths have been revealed, to hit televised series and movies such as Fauda and Homeland, where secrets have been fictionalized. But what really happens? On our Fauda Experience: A Tour of Israel’s Secrets, led by a former senior Israeli intelligence agent, visit filming locations, meet Israeli and Palestinian security force veterans, including those who worked undercover, and learn how things really work. This experience will provide a thrilling and unique encounter with another side of Israeli and Palestinian society, jaw-dropping truths, and lifelong memories.

The word “fauda” means chaos, but for many it’s simply the name of a Netflix hit series. However, real life for the members of the mista’arvim, an elite counter-terrorism unit that operates within the West Bank and Gaza, is not far from the show’s reality, or that seen in countless other shows, movies, and novels. With our insiders tour, step into the story and visit the places you’ve only explored on-screen, while hearing real-life stories and learning about the history of the mista’arvim from a former senior counter-terrorism official in the Israel Securities Authority (I.S.A.), also known as Shabak (the Israeli Secret Service).

You’ll also meet a Palestinian former undercover agent, who had to undergo emergency rehabilitation in Israel after his identity was exposed by terrorist organizations, putting his life at risk. Hear the remarkable story about his life undercover as he takes you along the Green Line that separates Israel and the West Bank. After our once-in-a-lifetime Fauda Experience Tour, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your favorite shows and a mind-blowing encounter with how intelligence agencies in Israel really work every day.
