- Ma’ale Adumim - Once the group departs from Ramallah, we will travel through the Judean Desert, passing the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, and Bethany, the site of the Tomb of Lazarus. We’ll travel for some of the way on a highway that is shared between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and then we will travel through Wadi al-Na’ar on roads that are restricted to Palestinians (and tourists).
- Cave of the Patriarchs - The final part of our tour takes us through the southern West Bank en-route to Hebron, where we will see more Israeli settlements, Palestinian farms and villages, and learn about home demolitions and the travel restrictions that were placed upon the Palestinians living in the area. While in Hebron, the group will visit the Ibrahimi Mosque, also known as Cave of the Patriarchs, and the city’s market. You will walk though the market with time for shopping.
