About Jericho

Jericho is a charming Palestinian city located near the Jordan River, just 30 km east of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Jericho is famous for being called the city of the moon and with its 11 000 years of age, it is also called the oldest city in the world. The city has a long and stormy history for its religion, culture, trade, and politics and is among the earliest cities in the world for habitation, agricultural societies, and civilization.

Its unique geography, with 258 sunny days a year, makes the soil the most suitable and provides the optimal climatic condition, which qualifies the country as one of the top places on earth for date palms. The citizens of Jericho have been planting and harvesting date palms for hundreds of years, which can ensure high-quality products.
