Travel Palestine - Jericho
Jericho - 'Ariha' in arabic, known as the city of palms or the city of the moon, is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world dating back 10,000 years. It is also the lowest city in the world lying at 260 meters below Sea level. Jericho contains some of the world's most important historic sites and is frequently mentioned in the Bible. Its moderate climate makes it a favorable winter resort.
VISITED PALESTINE & ISRAEL
Finally got the chance to visit one of the holiest sites, JERUSALEM. The place is so beautiful I urge every single one of you watching/reading this to step your foot there if you may. My personal favourite place is hands down, THE AQSA SANCTUARY in Jerusalem, where the mosques and Islamic historical sites stand. The morning walks to Aqsa Mosque in the shivering winter weather (its winter there in Jan) was one of the things I miss the most! We also went to the West Bank (Jericho and Hebron) to visit the maqams of our late Prophets. In Israel, we went to the Dead Sea and the city of Tel Aviv. Definitely coming back if I'm given the opportunity and of course, money! Haha.
Enjoy the video! :)

Walking Holiday in Palestine
Whatever you choose to call it -- Palestine; the Palestinian Territories; the Holy Land; the West Bank -- this ancient land remains one of the most fascinating - and controversial - places on the planet. On this 9-day trip - and in contrast to many other trips in the region - our aim is to travel (predominantly on foot) with neither a political nor a religious agenda, but instead with the aim of gaining an insight into the everyday lives and rich culture of the Palestinian people and experiencing a rarely seen side of the Middle East. My name is Marc Leaderman, I run the Group Tours department at Wild Frontiers, and in this video I am going to explain a little more about our 'Wild Walk In Palestine'.
After transferring from Tel Aviv airport, the tour starts in the old city of Nablus with its medieval souk and then travels slowly south as we walk from village to village, staying mainly with local families. From the fertile valleys of ancient Samaria we then skirt along the edge of the Rift valley and head down below sea-level to the shores of the Dead Sea before finally making our way through the Judean desert and on to Bethlehem and finally Jerusalem.
For anyone that enjoys really getting below the surface of a country, this must rank as one of the very best tours that we offer. Not only do we get to walk and talk with a whole range of Palestinians eager to share their stories, but by actually staying in some of their homes we also get the chance to experience a little of their daily life and their wonderful food -- this is not a trip for those looking to lose weight! In addition, for a trip which actually covers only a relatively small distance, the variety of the scenery and the sights is quite astounding. On one day we might find ourselves wandering through olive groves & deserted Roman hilltop towns and then having lunch with some refugees; on another we might pass Byzantine era churches in a desert wadi before having dinner with some Bedouin in their camp.
This is not a major trekking trip, but on most days there'll be at least 3-4 hrs of walking. And in fact many of the paths we take form part of the so-called Abraham Trail which National Geographic in 2014 voted as one of the world's best new walks. But, as with all our wild walks, there is a lot more to this trip just walking, and whether it's eating knafeh (a baked cheese dessert, drenched in syrup) from a street seller in Nablus souk, sampling a beer from Palestine's only micro-brewery in Taybeh or walking the millennia-old streets of Jerusalem's old city, this trip is guaranteed to leave you with many lifelong memories.
Despite having led trips all over the world, this trip remains one of my all-time favourites and I would unreservedly recommend the Wild Walk in Palestine to anyone looking for something which offers a glimpse into this rarely visited...and rarely understood, yet utterly welcoming and eternally fascinating part of the world.

Golan Heights: Views from on High
This mountain perch, atop the Golan Heights in the far north of Israel, was once a hotly contested strategic high point between Israel and Syria (which is now at war with itself, but seems at peace from this vantage point).
