74 ❯❯ Israel and Petra Area by Area

Around Jerusalem

Several full- or half-day excursions can
be made from Jerusalem. Destinations
to the west are in Israeli territory; those to
the north, east, and south are in the West
Bank. Travel between the two is relatively
simple. Remote monastic communities
located in stunning settings in the southern
Judaean Hills are worth a visit, while the
northern hills are speckled with pale stone
walls and olive orchards. Here, Nablus
exudes charm, while Ramallah is a lively
city for nightlife. One of Israel’s most
impressive vistas is to be found at
Interior of the Ibrahimi Herodion, near Bethlehem, and the oasis
Mosque, Hebron city of Jericho has a sultry vibe all its own.
