Full description
Take a full-day tour to explore Hebron, the largest city in the West Bank, and the most contested. See the sites and meet people from both sides of the Old City, Israeli and Palestinian, both within "H2", the Israeli controlled side of Hebron. Starts with a guided tour of the Jewish "settler" neighborhoods of Hebron, beginning at the hilltop Tel Rumeida, with a Bronze Age archeological site, army base, and tomb of the Biblical Ruth and Jesse. From there we will visit the Beit Hadassah museum about Jewish life in Hebron until the riots of 1929, the "Shavei Hevron Yeshiva" in Beit Romano and the Avraham Avinu quarter and restored synagogue. Visit the Israeli/Jewish side of the divided Tomb of the Patriarchs, known as Maarat (the Cave of) HaMachpela with the symbolic tombs of Abraham, Sarah, Jacob and Leah, all said to be buried in the cave beneath. Crossing over into the Palestinian side, start at the Muslim side of the Tomb of the Patriarchs, known as Ibrahimi (Abraham's) mosque, led by a Palestinian guide. Inside, discover the Mameluke era mosque and minbar- raised wood platform, and tombs of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca. Then, walk through the colorful Old City "Casbah" market and have a home-cooked lunch with a Palestinian family. Climbing on top of a family home for a rooftop view, learn about the difficult conditions of Palestinian residents and shop owners living in close proximity to the nearby settlements. Going through the busy city center, cross a checkpoint and end the tour back at the top of the closed "Shuhada" street. This is a unique tour: it will present two very different narratives of one ancient, very contested city, Hebron. This is the only tour with two guides, Israeli and Palestinian, each showing half of the divided old city. The tour is political but objective, with each participant free to form their own opinions.

Amazing experience to see and experience the reality of the problem and be part of it over one day. The tour guides on both sides are amazing and passionate about what they shared. The tour is one of the best tours I did in Israel/Palestine. Totally recommended 👍

Highly recommended tour. I don't normally like group tours but perhaps the biggest reason to visit Hebron is to hear from people who live there. The dual narrative concept is fantastic and I found it an eye opening experience. Highly recommended no matter where your views fall on the Israel-Palestine question

This was a terrific tour and well worth the time. At the time of booking (Feb 8, 2023), website info said that we would be using public transit. However, it is now by private van -- comfy and much faster. All of our guides were enthusiastic, passionate and informative. I had really no idea what to expect -- all the more reason to go, right? So much better than an ABC tour (another bloody church). As our primary guide, Eric, stated, the goal is to return "confused". Mission accomplished!
