Don’t ask me how to DIY Palestine. I just don’t know the answer. I suppose there is some form of public transportation for locals for the Bethlehem – Jerusalem route, but I’m just not familiar with it, which is why I just decided to book a tour on Viator. It was a tandem Bethlehem/Jerusalem tour. If you want a more in-depth tour of the West Bank, then I suggest the tours that combine Bethlehem, Jerico, and the Dead Sea. As for me, I just wanted to cross out a UN+ country off my list and hey, I was curious about Jesus’ birthplace so why not, right?
