Safety:

Thousands of tourists visit the West Bank every year - violence against them is almost unheard of. Palestinians are extremely hospitable towards visitors and, despite the many Israeli checkpoints, tourists can usually travel freely in the area. Keep however in touch with us about the possible influence of latest political developments on traveling to and staying in certain areas. Take care to wear conservatively especially outside the central West Bank.

There are many thousands of foreigners who have lived and travelled in the West Bank for many years!
