The Cave of the Patriarchs, the burial place of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, revered by Jews and Muslims, is divided into a mosque and a synagogue. The old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a souk and glass workshops.


The city is tense and divided; go with a local guide, and check travel advice first.
