Surif

Surif is a city in Hebron Governorate in Palestine with narrow streets, stone arches, and domed roofs throughout its layout. The settlement spreads across several square kilometers and combines densely built residential neighborhoods with agricultural lands in the surrounding areas.

The settlement was documented in 1838 as a village lying between Hebron and Gaza under Hebron administration. Over the decades it developed from a small village into an urban settlement with a steadily growing population.

Seven mosques shape the religious life here, while the old town perched on a hilltop showcases traditional Palestinian stone buildings that define the local character.

The place is surrounded by agricultural lands where olives, wheat, and barley are grown and shape the region's economy. Visitors should note that the narrow and sloping streets, especially in the old town, require careful navigation and are best explored on foot.

The town center sits on a hilltop, setting it apart from the surrounding flatlands and giving the place a distinct geographic feature. This elevated location has historically shaped settlement patterns and today offers views across the surrounding landscape.
