Palestine

Palestine is two territories of Israel: Gaza in West Israel, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and  the West Bank bordering Jordan.  How would like to visit the birthplace of Christ?  This is the place to go, the holy land of the medieval Crusades, a landscape of striking contrasts.  In Palestine people buy everything right down to their morning coffee with a credit card.  Occasionally, though you might stumble on a coin bearing the name Palestine, dating back from the Ottoman Empire or British Mandate period.
