It is a mythic place in Islam and Christianity. Endowed with monuments that were dear to millions of people around the world, Palestine would become an obvious tourist destination first.
In short, a trip to Palestine is full of fabulous events and discoveries, which shows the beauty of the country, its dynamism and contradictions, not to mention its extraordinary complexity and extreme harshness of daily life.
For those who are in Jerusalem and the West Bank, they have access to various cultural activities (cinema, theater, concerts ...) and many sports activities.

And there is a center for fitness, a riding ... and the sea!
