This book is the first comprehensive Palestinian guidebook to Palestine. In defiance of, and precisely because of, the current situation, it encourages people to come to Palestine and invites them to enjoy discovering many unknown facts about Palestine and the Palestinians. Furthermore, it is an important reference for anyone who wants to know more about Palestine, its culture, history or the situation today. The book marks an important turning-point in presenting Palestine fully to potential visitors instead of relegating it to a small section or an abbreviated chapter at the end of a guide to the area.
