Ramallah Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Eigentlich wollte ich ja nach Jericho, die aelteste Stadt der Welt. Das hat aber irgendwie nicht geklappt, vor allem, weil ich nicht in Erfahrung bringen konnte, was es dort genau zu sehen gibt, und weil die Alternative Couchsurfen im Staedtchen praktisch nicht existiert. In letzter Minute konnte man mir dann eine relativ guenstige und recht bek...

Today was a very interesting day.

I met Michelle and we got on the bus to Ramallah. It only takes 30 mins but right at the end you pass through 'the wall'. For those that dont know It is a security fence that passes through Israel - roughly along the lines of the suposed border between the westbank and Israel. It is a horrible contraptio...

On Monday we visited Al Haq, a Palestinian organization that promotes and protects human rights in the occupied territories. They attempt to bring about action and change through international litigation against Israeli violations of international law.

One of our presenter's most important points was that the occupation has become highly...

Friday, July 4th, 2008 I left Amman early in the morning from my friends, Rajai and Mona's, apartment, where I was temporarily staying thanks to their generousness. I found a taxi and told the driver to take me to Abdali, where the service taxis are that go to the King Hussein Bridge. He told me though that there are no service taxis at Abdali a...

Checkpoints and Spiritual Pilgrimages Yesterday, we drove to Bethlehem and the checkpoint was moved from where it was in 2005. We found the entrance, and after showing our passports and being asked why we wanted to go to Bethlehem, we entered. We wound our way up the hill to Manger Square and pulled into a garage labeled "public parking," a half...

81 Students Graduate in Ramallah Hope for the future was evident as 81 students graduated from Ramallah Friends Schools in Palestine on May 27, 2007. The ceremony was in Arabic except for one speech by one of the valedictorians, but you knew all along, this was graduation! The smiles were big, the parents and teachers were proud, the joy was mi...

RFS Students Visit Amary Friends Preschool For the first time in many years, two specific Quaker classes have been added to the Ethics track in the Ramallah Friends School curriculum. Starting in the past school year, juniors took "Quaker Faith and Practice" and 8th graders took "Quaker History." The Quaker History course was rescheduled until t...

Dust Storms and Flowers Spring in Ramallah is the time for flowers and dust storms. I've experienced both now! As a preschooler living on the plains of Colorado, I remember dust storms well. They would blow up and you couldn't see very far. We lived in the country and I remember so well sitting on the couch looking out the window as my Mom would...

Music Day at Friends Girls School It was a great for Ramallah Friends Girls School. I was on the way with Joyce Ajlouny to the Ramallah Cultural Arts Center, a 4 year old, state-of-the-art performance center. Parking was scarce when we arrived so we parked behind the building, and as with all things in Ramallah it was uphill all the way to the e...
