As the birthplace of Christ, this small town has been thrust onto the world stage, its name conjuring up images of the infant Jesus, the Magi and the shepherds coming to worship. The city is surrounded by rolling hills which stretch out eastward to the Judean Desert providing stunning views of an ancient landscape of vine yards, olive trees and tiny villages. Bethlehem is one of the most prosperous towns in Palestine. There are many successful businesses which produce a wide range of goods including furniture, plastics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, jewelry and alcoholic drinks. Bethlehem is also famous for its olivewood hand carvings, its mother-of-pearl jewelry and its distinctive embroidery. Bethlehem is blessed with an outstanding range of opportunities for tourists. These are based on an exotic blend of the religious, historical, cultural and archaeological sites. For more information: www.visit-palestine.com |
