Exploring the old town is best done on foot, as the narrow, curvy streets could pose serious problems if you were to encounter a car coming in the other direction. There is a minimarket in the centre of the village, alongside a few other small shops.
There are plenty of dining options in Ramallah, 33km away, or the nearby town of Biddya.
The best bet is to stay in a city such as Ramallah, which is 33km away.
