Palestine is a historic land situated in the southwestern part of Asia, at the meeting point between Asia and Africa, which gave it immense cultural and strategic importance

Its capital is Jerusalem, a city sacred to Islam, Christianity, and Judaism

Palestine covers an area of about 26,990 km² and is divided into 16 administrative governorates, including Jerusalem, Hebron, Gaza, Nablus, Bethlehem, and Ramallah

It is bordered by Jordan to the east, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula to the southwest, Syria and Lebanon to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west

The country’s geography includes fertile coastal plains, the Jordan Valley, mountains like Mount Gerizim, the Negev Desert, and unique bodies of water such as the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth
