Juha's Guesthouse

Jisr a Zarqa is the only Arab village remaining on the coastline of Israel. With its gorgeous beach expanding around a traditional fishermen village and with a peculiar historical background, the village offers unique contrasts with its neighbors, the famous city of Caesarea and kibbutz Maagan Mikhael.

We are more than a guesthouse and our guests are more than travelers!
As a social business aiming at promoting the socio-economic development of Jisr a Zarqa, we invite you to discover and to contribute to the revival and development of a forgotten village with a fabulous potential! As our guests discover the authentic fishermen village, its charming beach and traditional port, we support the community by encouraging new encounters and by developing new opportunities through responsible tourism.

At Juha's Guesthouse, in the center of Jisr a Zarqa and an 8 minute walk from the beach, between local coffee shops (& hooka cafés, you will find a true backpackers guesthouse with a homy feeling and the equipment you need to enjoy a simple yet comfortable get-away off the beaten track.

We offer a fully equipped kitchen, a common living room, fresh linens, internet, etc…
Outdoor activities range from relaxing on the village's beautiful beach and hiking the popular Israel National trail to discovering the ancient Aqueduct of Beit Hanania and Caesarea, the Taninim Nature Reserve and its Byzantine remnants around the Crocodile river, the Ancient city of Caesarea, or the neighboring Kibbutz Maagan Mikhael. You can also choose to go surfing, or contact us ahead of your arrival to book a guided tour of the village.

We are a proud member of the ILH-Israel Hostel Network, a network of Israeli hostels with European standards of cleanliness, true backpacker's vibes and affordable rates. The ILH mission is to support independent travelers and make your trip to Israel a unique travel experience.
