We will start the day with a city tour. What better way to absorb the atmosphere of this ancient holy city than to stroll through its hidden side streets with your local specialist?

Stroll through the old market (Al Souq). Step from antique handicraft shops to renowned landmarks finding alleyways with impossible beauty along the way. Then we will proceed to The Church of Nativity 
and the Separation Wall. It is A looming 8-meter-high concrete wall lined with watch towers, cameras, and barbed wire that divides Palestinian neighborhoods and land. Ironically, this wall is an unfinished masterpiece of resistance and resilience through art.

After breakfast, we will drive to Beit Sahour. This historic town, whose name means "Place of the Night Watch," about the Shepherds who keep watch over their flock by night, lies 1.6 km east of Bethlehem. In the past, the Canaanites inhabited its numerous caves, and today it is the home of many churches and convents. Churches now mark the sites of Shepherds Field, the Field of Ruth, and the Well of the Lady.

We will Visit the Shepherd's Field, located in the town of Beit Sahour 2 km east of Bethlehem, and this is where the angel of the Lord is said to have appeared before shepherds, bringing them good tidings of the birth of Jesus. Joined with many heavenly hosts, the angel sang, 'Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth, Peace among men.'  

Upon arrival at Hebron, we will begin the tour with Hebron's specialty, The Qidreh. It is a traditional Palestinian dish consisting of meat (usually lamb, sometimes chicken) cooked with chickpeas and rice in a broth spiced with ingredients such as cumin, allspice, cardamom, black pepper, and turmeric. You will not regret it! 

Afterward, we will head to the colorful stalls and vendors in Hebron's old market, or souq in Arabic flaunts a variety of local goods and handicrafts like pottery, olivewood, blown glass, aromatic spices, and dried fruits. One of Hebron's specialties is dibs, molasses-like syrup made from Hebron's infamous grapes, which can also be tasted in the vineyards of Halhul, a nearby village.

Next, we visit the Abraham Mosque-Cave of the Patriarchs, a holy site for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is considered the resting place of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their wives. The complex houses a carved walnut Minbar made of fine marble and mosaics that is considered a masterpiece of intricate artistry.
