What to expect

  1. Bethlehem
    1h
    The tour begins in Jerusalem and passes through the Bethlehem Checkpoint where the Palestinian guide will meet the group, due to the restrictions prohibiting most Palestinians from entering Jerusalem. The Checkpoint is one of the few entry points into Bethlehem which is surrounded by fences and 8-meter (25 ft.) high walls.
  2. Church of the Nativity
    1h
    Spend time at Manger Square, visit the Church of the Nativity and walk through the Old City.
  3. Aida Camp
    1h
    You'll visit the Aida Refugee Camp, and have the opportunity to meet with locals in the Camp and hear their stories.
  4. Walled Off Hotel History Exhibition
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Next, the guide will then take you for an up-close walk along the Separation Barrier that surrounds the city. Learn about the impact of the Wall on local Palestinians and how it has been used for art/graffiti by various artists, including Banksy.

    Visit the Walled Off Hotel, developed to attract tourists to this once abandoned area in Bethlehem - and to provide the history of the occupation through art at the museum inside, as well as to help local artists display their works in the Gallery.

    ADMISSION TO WALLED OFF HOTEL: 20NIS
  5. Hebron
    2h
    From Bethlehem, the tour will travel to Hebron seeing the Israeli settlements en-route and learning about home demolitions and travel restrictions that the Israeli authorities place on Palestinians living in the area.
  6. Cave of the Patriarchs
    2h
    The final part of our tour takes us through the southern West Bank en-route to Hebron, where we will see more Israeli settlements, Palestinian farms and villages, and learn about home demolitions and the travel restrictions that were placed upon the Palestinians living in the area. While in Hebron, the group will visit the Ibrahimi Mosque, also known as Cave of the Patriarchs, and the city's market. You will walk though the market with time for shopping.
