Tubas City

Tubas is an important economic and administrative city in the northeastern West Bank, located just 3km west of the Jordan river. It is the capital of Tubas governorate, providing facilities as well as work for residents of the surrounding towns and villages. Tubas is governed by a council of 15 members, with Jamal Abu Mohsin as the mayor since he was elected in 2005. The city is identified as the ancient town of Thebez. It has been under the control of the Palestinian National Authority since it was transferred to them from Israel in 1995.

What To Do

There is a bustling market in Tubas’ historic centre, while the surrounding countryside of undulating hills and olive groves is beautiful to get out and explore. Further north, Jenin is an exciting city full of life and energy, while there are also some fascinating archeological and religious sites in the region.

Where To Eat

Tubas boasts more than its fair share of delicious restaurants serving up classic Palestinian fare – think shawarma, falafel and hummus. You are also bound to find some of the most delicious, freshest olives and figs.

Where To Stay

There are two hotels in Jenin as well as a backpacker hostel, but for more choice head south to Ramallah, Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
