After that, we either have Arabic lessons or I teach English, followed by various visits around the city. Our days are full, usually lasting from 9:00 AM until around 3:00 or 5:00 PM, with a mix of lessons and city tours. Hebron is one of the best places for tourists who want an authentic experience. There’s a special feeling in the air here that you won’t find in Western countries. T...

I particularly enjoyed the Arabic classes, where we learned greetings, introductions, days o...
