Journey Through Palestine - Travel Documentary
Palestine means a lot of different things to many people, and may not be the most obvious travel destination. It is often associated with conflict and political unrest, overlooking the fact that it’s also a beautiful and fascinating region, with a vibrant culture, incredible historic landmarks, spectacular natural scenery, inspiring religious sites, tasty food, and friendly, welcoming people.
On this journey, I’m traveling through the Holy Land, a region important to the three main monotheistic religions, and known today as Israel and Palestine.
In this first episode, I’m exploring the West Bank, the largest and most accessible part of Palestine. From stunning natural scenery to intriguing historic sites. From the busy streets of Ramallah to the narrow alleyways of Nablus’ old city. From religious landmarks in Hebron and Bethlehem to the ancient ruins of Jericho. Along the way, I meet some of the people that call this land home, and sample the local cuisine.
I’ll do so from a traveler’s perspective, focusing on the positive stories and things to do. But here and there I also mention the conflict between Israel and Palestine, since it has impacted the lives of many people in the region. For those interested in the politics and modern history of the region, however, I recommend to read, watch, and listen to as many different sources as you can.
This is my first long trip after the pandemic started, and I’m grateful for the chance to travel again. It’s also my second visit to the region. While much of the footage is from the end of 2021 (including the ‘vlog style’ parts), I’ll also use some background material from 5 years earlier.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start this journey in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, with its impressive Church of the Nativity at its core. After visiting the church, I explore the streets around it, meeting people and eating food in the bustling bazaar. There are many other places worth your time in and around Bethlehem, including the Milk Grotto, an olive oil factory (press), Shepherd’s Fields, and the Mar Saba monastery, surrounded by arid mountains.
Hebron is the next stop, a city in the South of Palestine, and (among other things) famous for its glassblowing factories, and also the Tomb of the Patriarch, or Ibrahimi Mosque. The streets around this place are divided between the local Palestinian community and Israeli settlers. As a tourist, you can visit both areas. At the end of the day, my guide Salwa takes me to a traditional Palestinian restaurant, where we eat some delicious food.
We continue this trip in Jericho, regarded as the oldest city in the world. Located next to the Dead Sea, it’s also one of the lowest cities on our planet, and can get very hot in Summer. Other sights to visit around Jericho include the Dead Sea, Nabi Musa, Qasr-al-Yahud, and St George’s Monastery, built into a cliff in Wadi Qelt.
Getting lost in the narrow alleys of Nablus’ old city was among my favorite things to do. There’s a surprise waiting for you around every corner, and perhaps the best one was the Al Aqsa kunafeh store, which is said to make the best version of this Palestinian dessert, which is popular around the Middle East.
We finish this journey in Ramallah, a young and dynamic city, attracting people from around the region to find work and get educated. It’s a commercial hub with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and provides a different perspective on this part of Palestine.

Life in Palestinian WEST BANK ???????? | Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jericho & Dead Sea
This West Bank vlog is about ordinary Palestinians and their lives. What is living in Bethlehem, surrounded by an eight metre wall, like? My interview with Claire Anastas elucidates the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. This short video doesn't claim to have answers to the complex issues in the region, it just shares one woman's experience.
If you'd like to learn more about the conflict between Israel and Palestine, I recommend this list:
My personal favourite is a novel called Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa. She skilfully portrays Israelis and Palestinians across generations - it's one of the best fiction books about the conflict I've read.

The Oldest City On The Planet: Jericho // Behind The Wall
Have you ever wondered when and where the first city in the history of mankind was founded?
Well, you’ll be able to find your answer in the West Bank of Palestine.
Situated by the Dead Sea and the border of Jordan, Jericho is known as one of the earliest continuous settlements in the world, dating back approximately 11,000 years.
It’s mind-blowing just to think about this number.
During my Palestine trip, I got a chance to stop by Jericho, so in this video, I’m going to share what this ancient city is like.

WEST BANK VLOG - PALESTINE WALL, MOUNT OF TEMPTATION (JERICHO), & RAMALLAH // PALESTINE TRAVEL VLOG
Visiting Palestine was one of the best parts of our time in the Middle East. We visited the Palestine Wall (the security wall between Palestine and Israel), the city of Ramallah, the baptism site of Jesus (the Jordan River), Mount of Temptation in Jericho, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, and had lunch in the home of our guide, a local Palestinian. We chose to visit these sites with a tour group to make the most of our one day in the area and because we were not sure how safe it was to enter into Palestine. However, we felt completely safe in this wonderful country and absolutely loved our time in this beautiful land filled with so much history and so many important sites.
Our visit to the West Bank was incredibly educational and also very heavy. With only one day in the area, we wanted to learn as much as we could about the ongoing issues between Palestine and Israel and our guide did an extraordinary job teaching us. However, we ask anyone viewing this video to please watch videos made by people who are much better informed than we are about this conflict and the challenges faced by Palestinian's today. Although we learned so much during our time in the West Bank, we are not experts or historians and encourage you to take a few minutes to learn from those who are. We have included some links below to videos that we found really informative and may be a good place for you to learn more about this conflict as well.
We will leave you with our most significant takeaway from our day learning about Palestine and the ongoing conflict with Israel: this is not a religious conflict. To reduce this issue to one of Islam vs. Judaism would be erroneous. The conflict is political and we hope you keep this in mind as you watch our travel vlog and share in our journey of becoming educated on a matter of extreme importance.

Hebron: The Reality of Israeli Settlement in Palestine // Behind The Wall
It’s widely known that there are Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory, but very few people know what the lives of people are actually like in these isolated districts.
I traveled to Hebron, a Palestinian city that has Israeli settlements right in the middle of the city itself, and managed to enter a Jewish neighborhood surrounded by barbed wire fences and checkpoints.
In this video, I’m going to share what I saw and experienced in this controversial section of Hebron.
This video is the second video of my Hebron trip, so if you haven’t seen the previous one, please check it out as well↓

The Hisham's Palace is one of the most spectacular spots in the entire Jericho. Bethlehem is one of the most beautiful places in Palestine cities. This city is small but it is at the top of Christian religious significance...
