See Palestine beyond the headlines.
It’s no secret that the majority of the news the world hears from this region is negative. Unfortunately, mainstream media often focuses on dramatic and politicized stories and fails to show us what life is like on the ground. Taking a tour to Palestine and interacting with local people gives you a chance to see for yourself. Overnight at a homestay in Hebron. Visit an organic farm outside of Bethlehem. Explore the markets in Jerusalem.
