Discover the Damascus Saffron (Crocus cancellatus subsp. damascenus)


The Damascus Saffron (Crocus cancellatus subsp. damascenus)


This stunning beauty is found across Israel from the northern Galilee, including Mount Hermon, the Upper Galilee & the Golan Heights,the Judean Hills, the northern Negev & semi-arid zones.
It thrives on rocky limestone hillsides, open scrubland & light woodland clearings, its lilac petals & golden filaments appearing for just a few short days each year, after the first autumn rains (October–December).
The northern populations often flower earlier & in cooler conditions, while the southern ones push through arid terrain, showing remarkable adaptability.
Sadly it faces threats from overgrazing, habitat loss & shifting rainfall patterns.
At Imagine Israel Tours we love to notice not just the big moments of history, but also the small details of nature that make Israel unique.

I’m a licensed tour guide with experience driving & guiding all over Israel in a comfortable 7-seater vehicle & I’m an accredited tour guide for Israel’s National Parks.

I’ve also been certified as the Amazon Tour Guide for online virtual tours in the North of Israel - as well as being a guide for cruise ship passengers coming into Haifa & Ashdod.

My price includes collection from and return to your location, snacks, water & a unique souvenir of your tour.
