Hebron
Hebron's Old City and the Ibrahimi Mosque — sacred to all three Abrahamic faiths as the site of the tombs of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage in Danger list in 2017, making this large West Bank city one of the most historically and religiously weighted destinations in the Palestinian territories. Founded by Canaanites in the early Bronze Age, the Old City's narrow lanes, traditional markets, and ancient houses sit alongside the mosque at its centre, though parts of the area remain under Israeli military control.
