Geographically speaking, West Bank is situated on the west bank of the Jordan River and borders Israel to the east. The region covers an area of approximately 5,640 square kilometers with a population of over 2 million people.

West Bank has numerous tourist-relevant sights that are sure to captivate any traveler. One such sight is Bethlehem which is home to the Church of Nativity where Jesus was born according to Christian tradition. Another must-visit site is Jericho which boasts being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world dating back thousands of years.

Cultural highlights abound throughout West Bank as well. Visitors can experience traditional Palestinian music at concerts or festivals held throughout different towns across West Bank such as Nablus's annual Olive Festival or Hebron's Grape Harvest Festival.

For foodies looking for culinary specialities unique to this region then look no further than falafel sandwiches made fresh from street vendors or hummus served with olive oil and pita bread at local restaurants.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities for adventure here too! Hiking trails through stunning mountain ranges like Wadi Qelt offer spectacular views while rock climbing destinations like Wadi al-Quff provide challenging routes even experienced climbers will enjoy!

The best time to visit West Bank depends on what you're interested in doing during your stay but generally speaking spring (March-May) offers comfortable temperatures without too much heat while fall (September-November) provides cooler weather perfect for outdoor activities!

When traveling anywhere it's important to be aware of cultural norms and customs so visitors should take note that modest dress when visiting religious sites or conservative towns may be required; women should also consider covering their hair if entering mosques.

In summary, West Bank is a travel destination that offers visitors an unforgettable experience with its rich history, diverse culture and stunning landscapes. Whether you're interested in exploring ancient cities or indulging in culinary delights, there's something for everyone here!

Butifull but not an easy one. Need good planning specifically for the southern part. Have some interesting cities like tel Aviv and Jerusalem for rest days. For two month trek or part of it it can be a real and very good adventure.
