Ramallah
West Bank

May 20

Ramallah is the de facto capital of the Palestinian Territories. Located just north of Jerusalem, it is also one of the most important cities for the Palestinian economy. I visited with some friends on Saturday, and met up with a couple of Palestinains, one of who I met in Bil'in (see March pictures). The two of them, Nasiir and Faadi, gave us a short tour of the city.

The map at left shows Ramallah in red, with Jerusalem to the south.
