Beit Qad is a charming little village 5km east of Jenin, the governorate capital. Surrounded by fields on all sides, there are various crumbling ruins and some intact Roman buildings.
The village is formed of two separate zones, the south and the north. Both are typically quiet, peaceful places, with the occasional interruption of a loud tractor trundling past.
