Nablus Governorate

The Nablus Governorate is an administrative territory in central West Bank spanning hilly terrain between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim. The area comprises cities, villages, and refugee camps that form a varied settlement pattern across the landscape.

The region was known in ancient times as Flavia Neapolis and contained Roman structures that remain visible today. This represents one of several historical layers that shaped the territory over centuries.

The territory is home to three refugee camps where Palestinian communities maintain their customs and way of life across generations. These places shape the social fabric and identity of the local population today.

The territory is well connected to surrounding areas and serves as a central hub for commerce and administration in the region. Visitors should prepare for varied terrain and local conditions.

Local artisans continue producing traditional olive oil soap using methods that trace back to the 10th century. This craft tradition remains a vital part of the local economy and heritage.
