The Palestinian Territories

A microcosm of the Middle East, the Palestinian territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) are littered with sites of historical interest. But visitors may want to think twice before following in the footsteps of the prophets: both the West Bank and Gaza remain hotly contested and unpredictable.

The Palestinian Territories Weather


Summers in the West Bank are long and warm. Southern areas around Hebron can reach 35°C (95°F) during August, although the weather is a little cooler as you head north. At the other extreme, winters can be cold and wet, although snow is rare. Spring and autumn bring pleasant weather with highs around 23°C (74°F). The Gaza Strip suffers from high humidity at the height of summer but is pleasant for the rest of the year.
