As many of you know, cooking and eating is a major part of Arabic culture. And the care and dedication they show when they produce a meal shows itself in the taste and quality of the meal.

Nablus Bazaar

In the heart of Nablus’s Old City, you can experience true Palestinian culture. The bazaar is full of hustle and bustle, with shop after shop lining the walls with brilliant deals. This is the ideal place to pick up authentic souvenirs, to buy falafel makers and enormous pans and dishes. They sell everything you could possibly imagine needing in an Arabic home, so that you can feel like a local of Nablus even when you return to your home country.

Hanbali Mosque

Ebal Mountain

Sama Nablus is a park situated at the top of Ebal Mountain, which boasts some of the best views in the city. To make the most of this unique viewing spot, go to the top just before sunset, and watch it go down behind the Gerizim mountain opposite. This is a truly beautiful sight. The views across the city itself are also very memorable. At night, the city is lit up with colors and is unforgettably beautiful. This modern beauty is set against the natural beauty of the mountain and makes for something quite unusual.

Visit Wadi Albadan

For those of you travelling with families, Wadi Albadan is the ideal spot to spend the day. It is fun for adults and children alike. Wadi Albadan is a swimming and barbecue area where locals and tourists love to sit back and relax. Once there, bask in the sunlight by the water. Take a dip. Or, if you like, put your sun chair in the shallow parts of the stream and dip your feet while you tuck into a juicy barbecued burger.
