Meet Issa Loussi, Director of Holy Land Star Tours

Issa Loussi is a Palestinian Christian who is from the holy city of Jerusalem. Like most Palestinian Christians, his family have been living in the Holy Land for untold generations, and are considered “the living stones” of Christianity.

Issa went to the Terra Sancta School for boys in Bethlehem, where he was taught by the Franciscan brothers of the Holy Land. He continued his education in tourism, going back to school to master English and learn the Hebrew language while working for some of the most reputable tour companies in the Bethlehem-Jerusalem area. In 1995, he founded Holy Land Star Tours with the idea of providing pilgrims and tourists with a company that combined professional tourism with full-service transportation. In 2008, Issa himself became a certified tour guide, and has since rapidly expanded Holy Land Star Tours.

Issa is known for his commitment to his work and willingness to do what it takes to make his customers happy. When not busy at what he does best, Issa spends time with his family and friends, enjoying his life in the land of the Bible.
