Nablus
Nablus used to be known as “Little Damascus”, and the old quarter of the city has narrow alleyways, public fountains, historic palaces and mosques. You can soak your cares away in one of the hammams, tour an olive oil soap factory, and eat the best kanafeh in the world – a sweet pastry made from wheat shreds and goat cheese. Nearby Mount Jarzim is where the Samaritan community live – a misunderstood traditional Jewish sect that have co-existed with the Muslims of Nablus for centuries.
