Dar Zahran Heritage Building

1- Dar Zahran Heritage Building: Attractive, historic building with a unique history. For 250 years, this building has been the property of the Ramallite Dar Zahran Jaghab family, serving as a family home, guest chamber, and the place of residence of Ramallah's" Mukhtar" (leader). It includes an art gallery, a photo gallery of Ramallah from 1850 to 1979, a souvenir shop and a Fair Trade corner selling authentic Palestinian food products, embroidery and jewelry. Visit Dar Zahran to experience a journey through centuries of Arab Christian life in Palestine. Location: Old City, opposite Arab Bank branch Al- Balad branch- Ramallah Al-Tahta. 2- Tarfidia is considered to be a historic area of great significance to Palestinian heritage in the city of Ramallah. The name Tarfidia originates from Latin, meaning faithful and sincere. This narrow valley is situated between two mountains, in which ancient Roman olive trees flourish, as well as pine, oak, eucalyptus, figs, peaches, almonds, apricots, grape vines and wild herbs such as thyme and sage. Ruins in Tarfidia indicate that it was once the site of a Roman village. In the valley there are rock carvings and wildlife, as well as "palaces" that serve agricultural purposes. Referred to as al-manatir, these are important historical monuments to the traditional lives of Palestinian society. There was also a spring of water that used to provide fresh, pure water to the area. The continued survival of Tarfidia as an authentic ecological microcosm is under threat from dwindling water supplies, urban development and competition for land. We invite you to visit Tarfidia, and to experience Palestinian cultural and historical heritage in this area.

This is a must-see in Ramallah. Gallery/museum/gift shop, this was once a family home at the turn of the century and now is open to the public. Tea and chat were provided upon arrival and it was a highlight of my few days in the city.

Bassem's gift shop and olive wood factory is really the best in Bethlehem. Everything is made with a lot of care, attention to detail, and prices are very reasonable. Unlike in the countless other gift shops where their only goal is to make you spend as much money as possible, Bassem doesn't put any pressure on you, but offers helpful advice and is very accommodating. He has a great panoramic view available to see, as well as his olive wood factory which is super interesting. Overall, if you're looking to buy gifts in the Holy Land to take back with you, this is the place to buy them!

Hantourism

Hantour is Arabic for ‘horse-drawn carriage’. Hantours are still popular among local farmers in Jericho for transporting crops and agricultural products from their farms to the central vegetable and fruit market. Hantourism started using local farmers’ horse-drawn farm carriages as means of transportation for Jericho city tours. Today, Hantourism offers many community-based tours in all major destinations around Palestine

Ein Prat Nature Reserve (Wadi Qelt)

The desert scenery, abundance of water and varied vegetation create this unique oasis – the Ein Prat Nature Reserve. You will also find monasteries and archaeological findings – remnants of human activity in different periods.

Reviewed By bfindysz - Jerusalem District, Israel

On a warm and clear late winter day we drove down to the area above Jericho to explore a bit of the landscape punctuated by rare wild flowers and green fuzz from a long wet season. Stopped first at a fine lookout en route to St. George's monastery that hugs the valley wall in Wadi Kelt. Easy to find: on the left side of the road there is a huge cross at the top of a small hill. Park and walk up the hill. The monastery itself is just a bit further down the asphalt path. Park near a stone gate crowned by a cross, enter and start to descend. It will be worth the effort. Open from 9 till 13 daily.

The Samaritan Museum

Reviewed By David_Haivri - Israel, null

This is a must stop for all who are interested in Biblical history and anthropology and cultures of the region. I have visited this museum many times with international guests who were all fascinated to learn about the Samaritans. HaKohen Yefet and his team have done a great job documenting the history and faith of the Samaritan Israelites and building displays. I highly recommend visiting the Samaritan museum on Mount Gerizim.
