Overview

Hebron is one of the oldest cities in the world and home to the revered Cave of the Patriarchs, sacred to Jews and Muslims alike. Its ancient stone old city, glassblowing and pottery workshops, and palpable history make it a deeply atmospheric, if complex, destination.

Top attractions

Visit the Cave of the Patriarchs (Ibrahimi Mosque), the ancient covered souq, and the traditional glass and ceramic workshops.

Getting around

The old city is walkable but partitioned into zones; shared and private taxis connect Hebron to other West Bank cities.
