Hebron

Positioned at 930 meters above sea level, Hebron extends across four hills and contains numerous stone buildings connected by covered passageways and markets.

The city functioned as King David's capital before Jerusalem and holds the Cave of the Patriarchs, where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob rest according to religious texts.

Local artisans maintain traditional crafts in dedicated workshops, producing glass items, ceramics, leather goods, and dairy products throughout the market districts.

The city divides into two administrative sectors: H1 under Palestinian control and H2 under Israeli administration, requiring visitors to carry identification documents.

Hebron's old market features a system of elevated pathways above the street level, connecting residential areas through protected stone-roofed passages.
