See
The old Town
Partly rebuilt by a Palestinian NGO. Very beautiful houses to see. However this can be risky due to the presence of 400 Israeli settlers who live here and who are protected by the Israeli army. These people have a feeling of impunity and have not hesitated to attack American foreigners who have come to protect Palestinian schoolchildren. So be careful.
The tomb of the Patriarch
It is both a mosque and a sinagogue. Since a settler massacred around 30 praying Muslims in 1995, there are two separate entrances for Jews and Muslims. Christians have a choice of entry.
