Activities
As a language model, I do not have access to information on local activities in specific locations. However, based on what some people in the Palestinian Territories enjoy doing for fun, you might consider exploring the markets or souks in nearby towns such as Hebron or Bethlehem to experience local shopping and food culture. You could also take a hike in the surrounding hills and explore the beautiful landscape of the region. Additionally, many Palestinians enjoy socializing with friends over coffee or tea, so finding a local café or restaurant to relax and chat with locals could be a great way to experience the local culture.
