RAMALLAH, PALESTINE   "GOD'S HILL"
Learn about and Explore the City called the "Bride of the Middle East"
Ramallah, Palestine is a City about 10 miles north of Jerusalem.  Its altitude is between 830 and 900 meters above sea level, and because its weather is similar to that of the Mediterreanean sea basin, it has temperature climates that are pleasant all year.

So much has been said about the beauty of the City of Ramallah, but there is still much more to be told.  It's stone built homes stand proudly amidst luch olive and fig trees.  Grapevines weave their way through fences and spacious yards.  The sun sets amidst imposing moutains, throuwing colors of orange, lavender and blue.

There is something very special about the "Pride of Palestine".  Its charm lies in its inhabitants, its atmosphere, culture and heritage.  Today's Ramallah is not only the home of its inhabitants, it is also the source of their Pride.  It is an open city in which people of different religions live side by side in a rare harmony of cooperation.  In Ramallah, tollerance is more than a mere slogan, it is a way of life.

Ramallah, like all other Palestinian cities, is struggling to rise from the ashes and destruction created by Israeli tanks and bulldozers during the last 60 years of occupation .  It is in the heart of each and every Palestinian, in the Palestinian territories and abroad, to regain the freedom, dignity, self determination,  and justice other human beings enjoy.  Ramallah is the center of this cause.
