Nablus, Palestine

Capital City

Life in Nablus is a gritty mix of resilience and hardship. With a population of 60,000, the city has endured decades of conflict, its historic core bearing the scars of military operations. While the temperate Mediterranean climate offers respite, the heavy bureaucratic restrictions and security concerns are a persistent headache for residents. Nablus may appeal to the hardy and politically-engaged, but it is no tourist haven.
