To Live the Life of the Occupied Palestinian Territories to see the reality of the occupation for themselves.
Tours are jointly guided by a Palestinian and Jewish tour guide to give travelers in Israel an opportunity to see and hear the Palestinian perspective for themselves. We offer formal tours which last 8 hours, and we are also able to arrange more informal visits for travelers who wish to experience the Occupied Palestinian Territories on their own for longer periods of time.
Full day tours travel to Bethlehem and Hebron. Participants take a bus from Jerusalem to the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, and then walk into the Palestinian section of Hebron. Participants see first-hand the ethnic segregation of Hebron, including divided roads, stolen property, and the heavy military presence. Participants then visit a Palestinian family where they are served a traditional home-cooked meal. At the family's home, participants learn about the constant violence that Hebron residents endure from settlers and soldiers. Participants then walk through the Palestinian market in Hebron's Old City, where they are able to witness Palestinian daily life and visit a women's cooperative that sells local handicrafts. Participants then travel on a private bus to Bethlehem, where they visit Nativity square, the separation wall, and a refugee camp. Participants meet with a second Palestinian family in Aida refugee camp, where they learn about the challenges facing Palestinian refugees today as well as the history of the refugee situation. At the end of the tour, participants travel through an Israeli checkpoint after which they take a local Palestinian bus back to Jerusalem. Participants also have the option to continue their travel with an overnight home-stay in Bethlehem, through which arrangements can be made for more informal travel and meetings with Palestinians.
