Jerusalem
Archaeological evidence indicates that Jerusalem existed 4000 years ago. The city appears to have been founded by a Canaanite-Amorite god, named Shalem. For most of the last 2000 years it has been depicted at the centre of most global maps and known by some as "The Navel of the World." There is probably no other city in the world that has been a more sacred symbol in world history. A sacred city to followers of the three monotheistic faiths, Jerusalem's unique beauty lies both in its diversity and complexity. The impressive walls surrounding Old City host a cosmos of religious and historical significance: the Dome of the Rock (the site of the Prophet Mohammed's Ascension), the Via Dolorosa, the Calvary, the Holy Sepulchre, and the Western Wall. The Dome of the Rock has been immortalised in thousands of works of art, found in many Arab homes. For Palestinians, Jerusalem is the capital of their state in the making and has remained the spiritual apex of their identity.

Ramallah
Ramallah is known as the "The Bride of Palestine." Situated 900 metres above sea level, its pleasant climate has made it an ideal resort for Palestinians seeking relaxation during the hot summer months. Before the Israeli occupation of the city (1967-1994), visitors from Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia were among the many frequenters of Ramallah's resorts, restaurants and hotels. In the 1990's Ramallah became the base for many international agencies operating in the country. Like many towns and cities in Palestine, Ramallah has a mixed Muslim-Christian population and is host to a large number of Palestinian refugees who have been driven from their homes in 1948, the year of Al-Nakbah, marking the establishment to the state of Israel . Its population is generally considered quite cosmopolitan and consequently Ramallah is the capital of nightlife in Palestine. 

Nablus
At a site near the ancient Canaanite settlement of Tell Balata, the Romans founded the city of Flavia Neapolis (New City) in 72 AD, later named Nablus (636 AD). According to ancient folklore, the biblical Adam was formed with the clay from Mount Gerizim, near Nablus. John the Baptist baptized early Christians in the nearby springs. The city's rich history includes rule by Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Persians and Ottomans. Nablus is home to many well-known Palestinian poets and writers. The merchants, its famous dessert (Kinafa), and its Turkish baths.

Hebron
Archaeologists have unearthed artefacts that indicate human settlement in the Hebron region since around 2000 BC. The Arabic word for Hebron is al-Khalil which means "friend" in reference to the grand Patriarch of Monotheism, Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic). Thus, the city's Ibrahimi Mosque, Abraham's burial place, is central to Hebron's history and religious life. In addition to being the burial place of the father of Monotheism it is also the burial ground of the biblical Sara, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, Leah, Adam, and Eve (who lived out their days here after their expulsion from Paradise). The district enjoys lush agricultural land and magnificent natural scenery. Although the presence of illegal Israeli settlements both in and around the city has created tensions between settlers and Palestinians, Hebron is a very hospitable place for visitors.

Jericho
Jericho is an oasis in the desert. The oldest continuously inhabited human settlement on earth (10,000 years) and the lowest (some 200 metres below sea level), Jericho is rich in date palms, tropical fruits and vegetables, medicinal plants and spices. In Roman times Mark Anthony gave the town as a gift to Cleopatra. During the Crusader era, the sugar industry thrived here. The Arabic term for Jericho is Riha (scent), because of its wide variety of fragrant flowers. The majestic Hisham's Palace was built during the Islamic Era. However, nature is the most impressive monument in Jericho, including the Mount of Temptation, which is the site of Jesus' forty-day fast and his refusal of vanity. Under Palestinian rule, the town has once again taken on the role of a vacation resort.

Jenin
Jenin is the name of both a city and a district It is home to Burqin and Zababdeh, two towns that date back to Byzantine times. Burqin is where Jesus Christ is thought to have healed lepers and Zababdeh was one of the many locations where Mary and Joseph rested on their way to Bethlehem. Today, Jenin is a picturesque town surrounded with gardens of carob, fig, and palm trees. The district has some of the richest agricultural land in Palestine. 

Gaza Strip
Once inhabited by the Canaanites, Egypt ruled the coastline for centuries before it became the chief port of the seafaring Philistines (Filistines). Throughout much of modern history, it has been an important commercial centre, and is now on its way to retrieving its former position as the crossroad for Africa, Asia and Europe. The new airport and seaport (the latter still under construction) are part of the district's development under Palestinian rule. Gaza's beaches are among the most beautiful on the whole coastline. Both public and private investment in upgrading tourist facilities along the coastlines' hotels and restaurants has been substantial. The upgrading of the area's agricultural capacity, which includes the export of such winter crops as oranges and strawberries, has also given a boost to the Gazan economy. Among the many tourist attractions and sites of historic significance in Gaza are the Great Mosque of Omar (built over the Philistine Temple which was destroyed by Samson), the Fourth Century Byzantine Church of Saint Porphirius and the Thirteenth Century Islamic Fortress at Khan Younes. In Deir al Balah there exists a famous cemetery dating back to the Bronze Age, and a Hellenic monastery built in 372 AD. The Gaza Strip is also known for its friendly people and its delicious seafood.
