About this activity
Hebron and Bethlehem are the two largest Palestinian cities in the southern part of the West Bank. You'll visit Abraham's Tomb, the Church of the Nativity, a refugee camp, the Separation Barrier, and see the impact of Israeli settlers in Hebron.
What to expect
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.
Spend time at Manger Square, visit the Church of the Nativity and walk through the Old City.
You'll visit the Aida Refugee Camp, and have the opportunity to meet with locals in the Camp and hear their stories.
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
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.
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.

Additional information
- Dress Code: Hebron is a religious city with socially conservative residents, and we ask you to respect this by dressing appropriately. The rule of thumb is that the only skin that should be showing is the face, lower arms, and hands. Basically no shorts for men or women - trousers (pants) are best for men and women - shirts closed to the neck and over the shoulders. If the weather is hot wear light loose clothing.
- Travel Document: A current valid passport is required on the day of travel.
