Cities of Palestine 1868 ... & Children of Palestine 2011

From the book "Cities of Palestine," published by T. Nelson and Sons, 1868.

Cities of Palestine" (1868): Nazareth



"Cities of Palestine" (1868): Sidon



On the opening day of PalFest 2011 the Lajee Center held a brilliant children's festival.


The Palestine Festival of Literature (PalFest) brings Palestinian and international artists together for audiences across Palestine. It initiates and organizes cultural festivals with international and local participation. It organises workshops with students in Palestinian academic institutions in co-operation with Palestinian academics.

"At a time when the spectacular push for freedom in the Arab world is capturing the world’s attention, it is particularly important for PalFest to continue to travel to its audiences, imprisoned behind checkpoints; to work with its bookseller, threatened with deportation, and to forge creative links between Palestine and the world." PalFest founder Ahdaf Soueif
