The city of Jericho in the West Bank is over 10,000 years old and one of the oldest cities inhabited by mankind.

Famous for its historic sites, production of dates and its modern city structures surrounded by ancient ruins, it has long been the favorite destination of Palestinians.

Jericho lies adjacent to the Dead Sea; however, the Israelis have imposed heavy restrictions on the area and allow very few Palestinians to visit.

The tiny part of the Dead Sea, which is allowed for Palestinians, is not suitable to walk along or swim inside the sea; it is a waste land of the lowest sea on earth.
