What to do in Bethlehem

What to do in Bethlehem and its surroundings? Culinary addition.

Start by taking a cab to Beit Jala and visit Shams Al-Aseel. Grab a bottle of Bethlehem wine and enjoy a selection of their delicious dishes while taking in the breathtaking view. The food is phenomenal, and the prices are unbelievably affordable! Not to mention, the portions are huge. We tried manakish, mujadara, maqlouba, musakhan, mutabal, and, of course, wine.

Later, head to Astoria Cocktail Room, a speakeasy with a 1920s vibe. Located close to the city center, this place serves delicious cocktails priced between 35 to 40 shekels, along with a wide variety of tasty dishes at very reasonable prices.
