Short description of Ramallah
Ramallah is the administrative centre of the Palestinian Authority, a hilltop city north of Jerusalem that has grown with its twin town of Al-Bireh into the most modern and lively place in the West Bank. The mausoleum and museum of Yasser Arafat and the museum dedicated to the poet Mahmoud Darwish are its main sights. Around Al-Manara Square the streets are full of cafés, bakeries and restaurants, and the evening scene is the busiest in the region. A short drive leads to Taybeh, a Christian village known for its brewery, and to the old town of Birzeit. The city is reached from Jerusalem through the Qalandia checkpoint.
