Word of note: The list of recommendations for Palestine unfortunately does not reflect the current reality of the country, where due to the ongoing occupation, many of the places highlighted have become inaccessible or no longer exist in the same way. The hope is for a future where the rich culture, history, and natural beauty of Palestine can be experienced freely and safely by all. We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and hope for an immediate ceasefire and long-lasting peace. Freedom for Palestine.
