Palestinian National Authority Top Things To Do
• Follow in the footsteps of Christ as he carried the cross along the Via Dolorosa from St Stephen's Gate to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
• Picnic in the beautiful grounds surrounding Solomon's Pools, three large ancient reservoirs located about 4km (2.5 miles) south of Bethlehem.
• Float like a cork in the Dead Sea near Jericho. Its waters are four times more salty than normal sea water meaning you can't sink in it, but you can recline and read a paper.
• Take a walk or ride a cable car up to Jericho's Monastery of Temptation on the Mount of Temptation where Christ spent 40 days and nights fasting and meditating during the temptation of Satan. There are great views across the Jordan Valley.
• Smoke a waterpipe, often referred to as an argila, in one of Ramallah's many coffee houses or restaurants. Ramallah is also known for its buzzing nightlife and the best restaurants in Palestine.
• Hike the ancient route along the Wadi Qilt, a canyon-like valley, taking in caves, geysers, an aqueduct and St George's Monastery as you go. It is about a full-day's walk from Ein Fawwar to Jericho, with the monastery in the middle.
• Take a break from the religious hype and tour the Taybeh Brewery, home of Palestine's only beer! (website: www.taybehbeer.net)
