Meet Our Founder

Ofra Davidov Cohen

Born in Israel and educated across France, Argentina, Congo, and the United States, Ofra brings a uniquely global perspective to Israel travel. After earning a High Honors degree in Business Economics from Rutgers University, she settled in Bethesda, Maryland, where she has been a resident for over twenty-five years.

In 1991, Ofra founded the Transmark Corporation, a consulting business devoted to developing commercial relationships between US and Israeli companies. Over two decades, it became the longest-existing and most experienced provider of business development services for Israeli companies in the US. Her management responsibilities frequently included crafting complex travel itineraries that wove together business agendas with opportunities to discover Israel's extraordinary history, geography, and culture.

Ofra's lifelong dedication to Israel, combined with her business acumen and passion for smart global travel, made founding Galilee Travel a natural evolution. Today, she leads a company that has sent over 500 groups to Israel, each one a personalized, deeply meaningful experience.

Her sister, Anat, manages the Conventions and Conference division of Diesenhaus-Unitours — Israel's largest travel and tourism services company — giving Galilee Travel unparalleled on-the-ground resources and expertise.
