Book Description
Palestine is a tiny country, yet within its borders lie a significant part of the Holy Land and, from the Samarian Mountains to the Dead Sea, a surprising variety of landscape.
Divided from Israel by the Green Line, Palestine has much to offer the visitor, not least the warmth of the Palestinian people that belies their turbulent history. In addition to the attractions of Jericho and Bethlehem, and the modern-day cities of Nablus and Ramallah, the Bradt guide extends out into the mountains and hills giving details of hidden monasteries, deep gorges and barren deserts. And then, of course, there's in-depth coverage of Jerusalem.
This guide includes background history, from the birth of civilization to the new millennium; the West Bank and Gaza Strip; Jerusalem in detail; accommodation, food and transport; safety and security; activities from floating in the Dead Sea to walking, cycling and Turkish baths and 22 maps and town plans.
