The tour will start by unfolding the history of Gaza's geopolitics and the contemporary history of the conflict. Upon arrival to Sderot enjoy a coffee break and then proceed Sderot’s lookout, from which one can have the sense of the proximity to the border with Gaza, and the panoramic view of Gaza’s northern areas( Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Gaza city) following Israel’s southern coastal plains cities: Ashdod & Ashkelon.
From the lookout a short drive through the old and new neighborhoods of Sderot as we learn about the community’s resilience and defense challenges. Stop by a unique resilience play park and Sderot’s Menorah made of “Kasam'' rockets to learn about the artillery attacks over the town and Israel.
Another short drive will bring us to the site where Sderot’s police headquarters were located and demolished. Amit will share how the Yamam(Israel’s counter terror unit) took over the building.
From here we will drive about 20 minutes towards Reim rest area, located between Kibbutz Beeri and Kibbutz Reim. This is the location where the Nova music festival was happening where the terrorist attacked and murdered 364 people. Amit will share here his story and how he survived step by step as he presents videos he recorded during the escape. You will have time to visit the temporary memorials made by family and friends of the victims.
The last site of the tour visits the bomb shelter at the entrance to Kibbutz Mefalsim, on their way to occupy the Kibbutz, the terrorist murdered every person they could, including Amit’s best friends: Adir & Shiraz Tamam, Celiene Ben-David Nagar. Amit will tell about the battle of Mefalsim and how his friends had no chance to survive the monstrous attack.
From Mefalsim we will drive back to Tel Aviv
A somber experience.... Such a tragedy. A very sad place to visit, but essential to understand what happened here. Unfortunately, it demonstrates the violence human beings are capable of towards others.
On the other hand, the memorials of the innocent victims who lost their lives or were injured because of hatred, live on.
Our guide was excellent and I felt safe during the entire tour. Even though I felt overwhelmed at the various sites, I am glad I went.

There is No Other Tour Guide Amit is the consummate tour guide. His knowledge of history, geography and other pertinent data is expansive. His ability as a storyteller is excellent. This tour is deeply emotional and Amit is able to navigate this landscape meaningfully for both tour participants and himself. His tour is rooted in personal experience, as he is a survivor of the Nova Festival. He describes the purpose and joy of trance dancing as a community building event whose purpose is joyous and celebratory. He both shows us through his own camera footage and words how this all changed on a dime. The additional stops on the tour are very powerfully presented with impact as well. There is a phrase- Ein Eretz Aheret- we have no other homeland we want to add: there is no other tour guide for sharing this region of Israel at this moment in time. Go with Amit Musaei go!

Emotional tour in memory and honor of the victims of the massacre of October 7! Recommended for everyone! An extraordinary tour in countries that have experienced the massacre of October 7. To hear the story of a survivor of this massacre told in the places where it happened is incredible. Visiting the Nova Festival Memorial is difficult and very emotional, but seeing what happened up close is the only way to understand even a little of what innocent people experienced on that terrible October day. Visiting the city of Sterod is also very emotional, a city with a lot of history and full of heroes. Recommended for anyone who only believes what they see in the media!

Amazing experience with actual October 7th Survivor! Our Tour Guide, Amit, was an actual survivor of the October 7th Massacre at Nova Music Festival. He shared his very personal experience with us - he opened his heart to us in order for us to understand the terrible atrocities that occurred on this day, to him and to others,
He took us to all the relevant sites involved in October 7th, including Sderot, the Gaza Envelope, the. Car Graveyard and the Nova Music Festival site. We got to actually see Gaza over the hills and could view the rubble there. We saw ambulances, police cars and civilian vehicles burned and riddled with bullets. We stood on the site of the Nova Music Festival. We saw a shelter on a Kibbutz where several people were killed by Terrorists.
It was an amazing, emotional, heartbreaking and also heartwarming experience that was made so much more meaningful when given by someone who personally experienced it.
Do not miss this tour with Amit. We all need to bear witness to these atrocities. Amit made a “ story” into a reality for us!

He mixes history, humor, and a lot of feeling into a touching and fascinating tour. It’s unusual to get such an insight into something so deeply personal and important. Thank you, Amit.

Amit is equal parts knowledgable and fun, serious and silly. The first half of the tour covered important historical information about Israel’s history. The second half was Amit’s personal (horror) story from October 7. We left reflective, grateful, heartbroken, and proud. Hard to put into words something as emotionally charged as this. Don’t equivocate about booking this tour, just do it. Zero regrets.

Nova Site ? Sderot Trip Everyone needs to do this tour. Amit, is a tour guide, and a survivor, who lost dear friends. His tour takes you step by step (arrival to escape). Amit gave us amazing insight into the history of Israel! This was done while we were driving - it is about 1hour 10 to the first stop. We also got to pay our respects to his friends, there are pictures of those that lost their lives and hostages, scattered around the site. This tour is his therapy and kol hakvod to him for having the courage to go back to the site of an horrific tragedy. But each tour helps a little towards his well being. We also went to Sderot, Chabad House, and the car cemetery. I would highly recommend this tour. I am happy that I started my volunteering with the tour, it puts everything into perspective. On the drive home, you have time to reflect on what you have just seen. I felt that being at the site gave me a far better understanding of the horrific events of the October 7th massacre. You are there! You get a glimpse into what happened.
I wish Amit everything of the best, and I know that his tours have grown since he started and that for me is just fantastic.

Emotional Tour to the Nova Music Festival I recently participated in the "Gaza Border Tour to Sderot and Nova Music Festival" hosted by Amit Musaei, and it was an incredibly profound experience. The tour took us through several cities affected by the tragic events of October 7th, where terrorists from Gaza brutally murdered residents of Sderot and attacked the Nova Music Festival.
Amit, a survivor of the attack, shared his personal experiences with great sensitivity and detailed knowledge. His explanations of the geopolitical landscape of Southern Israel were both informative and deeply moving. Despite the heavy subject matter, Amit skillfully injected humor and warmth, making the tour not only educational but also engaging.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to understand the complex history and contemporary issues of this region. Amit's unique perspective and expert storytelling made this a memorable and worthwhile experience.

His exceptional guidance, profound knowledge, and harrowing testimonies truly made this tour a very eye-opening and moving experience. He shared his experiences with such bravery and courage, and enriched our understanding of the events that took place on that day and the impact it has had on the communities in Southern Israel and beyond. Moreover, he managed to balance the difficult and emotional aspects of the tour with moments of light-hearted humor, hope, and inspiration. Additionally, the pick-up and drop-off were smooth & I felt safe throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour with Amit and hope to participate in other tours he offers in the future.

An unforgettable tour of sites attacked on October 7th I was visiting Israel from Canada and wasn't sure if I wanted to visit the sites attacked on October 7th. But my daughter wanted to see it and when I spoke to Israeli's, they said I should go to honour the victims and bear witness to what happened, so I agreed to go with my daughter.
Finding Amit was a blessing. He is an excellent tour guide, but was also at the Nova Festival and is still recovering from his experiences and losses. His personal stories differentiates his tour from a big bus tour and made this a tour that I won't forget.
He takes you to places that lay out the history, the area and the events of October 7th. And his personal stories of the events are offset by his sense of humour, which help everyone make it through the day.
If you want to experience what happened, I highly recommend Amit and his tour.

Life-changing experience We went for a trip to Gaza envelope area and the place of Nova festival with Amit Musaei, the survivor of the 7th October Hamas attack. Amit is a very professional and experienced tourist guide and along with the history of the region and its specifics he shares his personal history which will stay with us forever. The trip was very touching and life-changing experience.
Thank you Amit for the courage to share your story and your invincible sense of humour.

Meaningful trip to the Gaza envelope Amit is an incredible tour guide. He gave us an overview of the Israel-Palestine conflict before seeing a number of sites along the border. Our tour went to Sderot, outside of a kibbutz on the border, and of course, to Nova - where Amit gave testimony as a survivor of the massacre. Amit was friendly and informative throughout - highly recommended!

Intersperses history, geography, and the emotion he felt on that day, as he escaped from the Nova festival. An unforgettable experience!

An Israeli tour I will never forget. One of the best tours I’ve been on in Israel. Amit is a special soul. With passion for his experience as a tour guide, he navigates a very traumatic experience with grace and great professionalism, sharing his survival story escaping from the Nova Festival massacre on October 7th. He is very knowledgeable about Israeli history and geopolitics. He gave us a detailed tour of the Gaza Envelope, and explained how the different areas were impacted by the Hamas attacks during the week of October 7th. You will not be disappointed in this tour. If you want to get an authentic, eye-witness account of someone that was physically there during that tragic time, you will learn a lot. I highly recommend touring with Amit.

Difficult, but important places to see This tour is for sure not for the faint at heart, but a very important part of history. Amit - a survivor of the Nova festival that happens to be also a tour guide - tells you his personal story of 7th of October on site of the festival and how he managed to escape. You also learn about the history of the conflict, see the former Sderot Police Station (where terrorist took over), the Fence to Gaza and other places that are relevant to the Middle East conflict. One of the most important and touching tours I took part in my life.

Wonderful tour and personal sharing! Don’t miss it. What courage Amit has to retell both physically and emotionally his minute by minute experience/trauma. Not for the faint of heart. The terror the victims of this horrific tragedy must have felt was made palpable and the ongoing ramifications of the attacks is tragic. The tour was worth every penny and then some plus you will learn an incredible amount of info from Amit.

Gaza Border Tour to Sderot and Nova Music Festival I had the privilege of being guided by Amit on his Gaza Envelope/Nova Music Festival tour, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
(apparently everything I wrote about the experience is "irrelevant to trip experiences." I think Trip Advisor doesn't want anything potentially 'controversial,' but this was a tour that is in a war zone, so not sure how I can do that. Just saying "Amit is an excellent guide" doesn't really give you any context. But the context for this trip isn't permitted. Likely, this won't be either.)
If you are looking for a tour guide, who can offer an informative, heartfelt, and profoundly moving experience, Amit is the perfect choice .

A unique opportunity and a deeply moving and heart-breaking experience Thank you, Amit, for taking us to places in the south of Israel, to Sederot and to the Nova Festival site, amongst other places, to help us understand better and bear witness to what happened on October 7th. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge, your clear love of Israel and your deep pain at what you and all of Israel experienced on that day and since. To go to the Nova site with you as tour guide and Nova survivor, was a unique opportunity and a deeply moving and heart-breaking experience. Thank you, Amit – we wish you healing and peace.

Bringing Light to Darkness I had no preconception of what the guide and tour would be like. The guide Amit, was very accommodating and travelled out of the way to pick me up. He spent the journey to the area explaining the history of the Jewish presence in since the British Mandate to the horrific events of the 7th of October. They way he led the tour was a process of careful step-by-step explanations so that one could understand everything to illumine his personal experience of the day.

Great. Amit is knowledgeable and very personable Amit is an excellent guide. This is not an easy tour. Going down South to Sderot and the site of the Nova Music massacre are not fun. Amit, who is as survivor of the festival and lost three close friends, brings his experience, and historical knowledge to this trip
I would highly recommend Amit to be your guide in the future

A meaningful and genuine look at Oct. 7 Amit Musaei is a professional guide, and a survivor of the NOVA massacre on Oct. 7. In a very genuine, personal and factual way, he is able to unfold the scene as it happened. In addition, he has woven in historical facts regarding the region, the demographics and the development of the current situation that has been ongoing for so many years. He will take you through the important sites and timeline of those horrific hours so that you can bear witness to what happened, in a most personal way.
