What To Do
Baqa is an intriguing place to poke around, especially the old donkey stable in the centre, where you can still find a donkey sheltering from the sun in the hottest hours of the day.
Nearby towns such as Anabta and Jinsafut are bigger and with more shops, homes and businesses.
Nablus, about 18km away, is a heaving city with a fascinating market quarter, as well as some beautiful churches and excellent archaeological sites. It is a must for any tour of Palestine, as is the excavated Roman town at Sebastiya, while the Palestinian cities of Tulkarem and Qalqilya also have much to offer.
Where To Eat
There are fast food places serving up traditional Palestinian fare (shawarma, falafel, hummus etc) dotted throughout the neighbouring economic hub of Funduk and also nearby Anabta. Head to Nablus, 18km away, for a range of different restaurants. Tulkarem and Qalqilya are home to some of the best – and cheapest – traditional Palestinian eateries there are.
Where To Stay
There is a decent range of accommodation hotels in Nablus, but a much more expansive range further south in the more modern and lively Ramallah
