Nabulus Travel Guide

Amazing city full of really friendly and welcoming people. I instantly feel at home in the West Bank because the people are so so friendly. If you are heading to Nablus then you will have to go through one of the many checkpoints that completely enclose the city.  Keep your passport and visa stamp with you at all times. Women make sure you wear long sleeves and floor length trousers or skirt. Men, do not wear shorts. There is a lot to see, I suggest a trip to the refugee camp. The Old City is beautiful and has castle ruins, old factories, narrow streets, spice shops etc. One thing that you'll notice immediately is the posters of martyrs and children who have been killed. There are also bullet holes in nearly every wall. Don't be out and about in the city after dark as nearly every night the Israeli army come (illegally) into the city. If you leave the city through the Huwarra check point then there is a separate line for foreigners, women and elderly people. If you don't have a ride waiting for you at the other side then hop in a service (shared taxi) - they go everywhere in the West Bank (15 NIS to Ramallah) so when you come out just shout where you want to go!

wonderful city with friendly people
