Hebron’s Unique Political Reality

To say that  Hebron is a politically and religiously charged city is quite frankly an understatement. This ancient and sacred urban area has been the site of numerous acts of violence over its many years, including protests and resistance to the current occupation.

Seeing Hebron from both sides, and in all its complexity, is an excellent way of gaining a deeper understanding of the reality of the situation as it affects both Israelis and Palestinians.

Tour Hebron 1 And 2

A tour of Hebron with the Excellence Center is a unique way to see the sites in H1 and H2 (the areas controlled by Israel and Palestine), and witness how the dual political narratives are framed, while being guided by an organization that has been working with the Hebron community for many years.

Sites Visited During The Tour

  • The thriving market in H1
  • The famous Shuhada Street – now almost deserted due to the Israeli occupation
  • The Jewish settlements in Hebron – Tel Rumeida and Kiryat Arba in particular
  • An optional visit to a refugee camp in or around Hebron

Opportunities To Meet And Engage With Palestinians

Our guided tours of Hebron are not just directed at the famous sites, however. You will also have opportunities to meet and engage with Palestinian residents in order to get to know the people and the human situations behind the headlines. 

Given the unique setting of Hebron, you may also find yourself at times talking to a settler. No matter what your own opinion may be, these tours are an excellent opportunity to witness the various narratives on display as well as meeting the people who live them.

Get To Know The Palestinian Point Of View

The Excellence Center has deep connections to the community in Hebron and its surrounding villages, meaning that participants on our tours may have the opportunity to talk to city and village residents alike. This is an excellent way to learn about the multi-faceted layers of Palestinian society and culture in and around Hebron.
