Jenin Governorate

The Jenin Governorate extends across 583 square kilometers of land, featuring rolling hills, agricultural fields, and urban settlements in the northern West Bank region.

The region transformed from an Ottoman administrative district in 1517 to a Palestinian governorate, experiencing significant changes during the First Intifada and subsequent conflicts.

The governorate maintains traditional Palestinian crafts, music performances, and local festivals that represent the cultural identity of its 314,866 inhabitants.

The territory connects to other West Bank areas through major roads, with the city of Jenin serving as an administrative center for government services.

The Jenin Governorate contains numerous natural springs that support agricultural activities, with a majority of land under Palestinian National Authority control.
