    The guided tour is inexpensive and very interesting, I'd definitely recommend it. Our tour guide was humorous and was able to answer most of our questions. They have a book collection as well

    A very interesting small museum spotlighting the history of the Palestinian people. The staff give a very heartfelt presentation. All of the people who were there for the presentation introduced themselves to each other afterwards, and I feel like I met several very interesting folks.
