| The West Bank is an area naturally populated by the Palestinians. At the heart of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and Middle-East instability in general, its status as a territory is one of the most disputed in the world. The West Bank contains a number of biblical sites (such as the nativity site in Bethlehem) and monestaries in dramatic desert settings, one of the most impressive being Mar Saba. Besides the sedentary arab population, there are also a number of nomadic Bedouin tribes that live in canvas tents in the Judean desert and raise sheep and goats. Despite their harsh and poor live, they are extremely hospitable. |
