(Palestine)


Calls to prayer, churches and checkpoints.

A microcosm of the Middle East, the Palestinian territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) are littered with sites of historical interest. But visitors may want to think twice before following in the footsteps of the prophets: both the West Bank and Gaza remain hotly contested and unpredictable.

Visa Info

As long as you have already entered Israel, passport holders of most Western countries can enter the West Bank via its checkpoints from Israel. No special permits are needed to enter the West Bank. Travel into the Gaza Strip is off-limits to casual visitors. Only visitors with special permission (eg the media) are permitted to enter Gaza.
