Palestine, comprising the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, holds sites of great religious importance, including Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, Hebron and Jericho.
Mediterranean; spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons.
Why Choose Palestine?
Visitors come for Bethlehem, the old city of Hebron, Jericho and Palestinian hospitality. Gaza has been devastated by war since 2023 and is inaccessible, and travel to the West Bank requires checking current conditions carefully.
Palestine Visas
The Palestinian Authority issues passports but does not control its borders. Visitors to the West Bank enter through Israeli-controlled crossings (Ben Gurion Airport or the Allenby Bridge from Jordan) and must meet Israeli entry rules.
Entry via Israeli Crossings
Under Israeli visa or ETA-IL rules.
