THE BUCOLIC VILLAGE
Sanur, a town of more than 5,000 inhabitants, is located 26 km southwest of Jenin. It stands on a hill which uncovers a real lookout over the olive groves and the fields of the Arraba plain.
Visitors have various options to take this worthwhile trip. Options include a rented car, a reserved taxi, or simply by taking buses or multiple taxis from the bus station of Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, and Jerusalem.
Once there, a local guide will lead you along a path crossing: Jarrar Castle, the Mosque, the Sanur Women Organization, Wild Ali guest house, and Haddad Tourism Village. The mountains in front of the village are spectacular – and we highly recommend hiking! Of course, there is plenty of shopping to be done here with arrays of spices and sweets to choose from!

ARRABA
THE FORGOTTEN PALACES
Arraba is one of the nicest Palestinian villages, dating back to the Canaanite period (2nd millennium BC) and preserves an archaeological site (Tal Dothan) of that period.
Can be reached with own car or with a reserved taxi, as well as by the buses or multiple taxis from the bus station of Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, Jerusalem: see home page).
The town had its best splendour in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, when the occupant Ottomans included it among the 24 villages defined as “Throne Villages” to rule out the territory, collect taxes, enforce the law and administer justice on their behalf. A powerful and rich family, Abd Al-Hadi, led the Throne Village of Arraba and many villages in the districts of Jenin and Nablus. They built the 21 elegant buildings of the palace and a mosque in the middle of the town, according to a style followed also by other rich families, creating a downtown with a surprising architectural homogeneity.
