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.

I did not expect much prior to my visit and I ended up spent over 3 hours there. The museum is very well set up with friendly staff who were always there to help with the visitors. It is a must visit to anyone who travels to Palestine. Lots of information about history, culture and the conflict to learn there. I loved the visit.

Reviewed By eingedi - Jerusalem, Israel
I revisited recently and found that the building and the film had been updated. The story of the settlement of Gush Etzion and its challenges is a gripping one and the film does an excellent job of depicting that era through actors. The fall of Gush Etzion in the aftermath of Partition is heart rending. I cried when I saw the original film and this time was no different. The idealism and heroism of the early settlers are inspiring and the return to Gush Etzion and its flourishing communities are heartwarming. This is a wonderful place to visit...to be moved...to be inspired... and to be grateful
