Nablus tour

Last sunday (last day for Stefan before leave), we did a walk in Nablus. Sameh, one of my students, kindly proposed us to be our guide in this very old labyrinth.

The al-Manara clock tower


Come to eat a Kanafeh portion with us! (What is a Kanafeh?)


Little way between two streets


Some quiet streets




This door remember us how life is sometimes hard there


Nice construction

Would you like some spices?




There was also Romain theater ruins.
Unfortunately, all is abandoned probably because of the
lack of money.






After the old city, we took a taxi-service to visit the Sichem
palace ruins.

Sameh told me the huge stone blocks you can see on the last
picture were the base of an enormous stone door.


This day showed me again how I can be lucky to live in such a
city.
