 Palestine is an ancient, holy land; the birthplace of the three great monotheistic religions. It is the cradle of civilization and the geo-physical and cultural crossroads of three continents.
From the warmest and most welcoming people in the Holy Land, the Palestine Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities offers you a range of exciting new experiences that capture the heart and soul of our country. Our unique itineraries for groups and individual travellers combine visits to important Christian, Muslim and Jewish spiritual sites with interactive culture, history, nature and educational experiences ranging from visits to famous archaeological sites, medieval cities, cultural centres, and glass blowing and olive wood workshops to expert lectures, olive picking, dabka dancing, Palestinian cuisine, home stays, language classes, home rebuilding projects and hikes and walks through our diverse landscape and along the Abraham Path or Nativity Trail.
