Dar Zahran Heritage Building

1- Dar Zahran Heritage Building: Attractive, historic building with a unique history. For 250 years, this building has been the property of the Ramallite Dar Zahran Jaghab family, serving as a family home, guest chamber, and the place of residence of Ramallah's" Mukhtar" (leader). It includes an art gallery, a photo gallery of Ramallah from 1850 to 1979, a souvenir shop and a Fair Trade corner selling authentic Palestinian food products, embroidery and jewelry. Visit Dar Zahran to experience a journey through centuries of Arab Christian life in Palestine. Location: Old City, opposite Arab Bank branch Al- Balad branch- Ramallah Al-Tahta. 2- Tarfidia is considered to be a historic area of great significance to Palestinian heritage in the city of Ramallah. The name Tarfidia originates from Latin, meaning faithful and sincere. This narrow valley is situated between two mountains, in which ancient Roman olive trees flourish, as well as pine, oak, eucalyptus, figs, peaches, almonds, apricots, grape vines and wild herbs such as thyme and sage. Ruins in Tarfidia indicate that it was once the site of a Roman village. In the valley there are rock carvings and wildlife, as well as "palaces" that serve agricultural purposes. Referred to as al-manatir, these are important historical monuments to the traditional lives of Palestinian society. There was also a spring of water that used to provide fresh, pure water to the area. The continued survival of Tarfidia as an authentic ecological microcosm is under threat from dwindling water supplies, urban development and competition for land. We invite you to visit Tarfidia, and to experience Palestinian cultural and historical heritage in this area.

This is a must-see in Ramallah. Gallery/museum/gift shop, this was once a family home at the turn of the century and now is open to the public. Tea and chat were provided upon arrival and it was a highlight of my few days in the city.

Ein Prat Nature Reserve (Wadi Qelt)

The desert scenery, abundance of water and varied vegetation create this unique oasis – the Ein Prat Nature Reserve. You will also find monasteries and archaeological findings – remnants of human activity in different periods.

Reviewed By bfindysz - Jerusalem District, Israel

On a warm and clear late winter day we drove down to the area above Jericho to explore a bit of the landscape punctuated by rare wild flowers and green fuzz from a long wet season. Stopped first at a fine lookout en route to St. George's monastery that hugs the valley wall in Wadi Kelt. Easy to find: on the left side of the road there is a huge cross at the top of a small hill. Park and walk up the hill. The monastery itself is just a bit further down the asphalt path. Park near a stone gate crowned by a cross, enter and start to descend. It will be worth the effort. Open from 9 till 13 daily.

I would definitely recommend this destination to others. The camel rides are so much fun, the staff is very friendly, Abraham was terrific. The food was the best faire around.

Yasser Arafat Square

Reviewed By Drghannam - Ramallah, Palestinian Territories

In Yasser arafat square or what was called Maydan Alsaa, in Arabic, which means the time square in English, share there was a tower holding an old clock, this place reminds me always of Ramalla, and because I travel everyday through this lovely place, cause I can’t have my day without going there, besides the presence of too many people in this square in certain occasions.
