Divided city

Hebron, home of the Abraham mosque/complex, venerated by Jews and Muslims.

The city is divided into several areas of control, with some being adminstered by the Israelis and some by the Palestinian Authority.

The main ‘new’ city is a bustling town with quite a lot of shops and things going on.

The old city is a disaster area. Here, Israeli settlers live literally on top of Palestinian shops separated by a thin layer of barbed wire.

Expect normality – but also expect to see military presence.
