Discover the Old Town in Nablus: The Charm and Beauty of Historic Nablus.
The Old Town in the city of Nablus, located in the Palestinian Territories, is characterized by its unique architectural style, resulting from the various civilizations that have ruled it, such as the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Islamic. These civilizations were very keen on leaving their architectural and heritage imprints on Nablus, with these landmarks predominantly located in the Old Town.
The Turkish baths stand as some of the most significant architectural heritage landmarks of the Old Town. They are spread across the neighborhoods and alleys of the Old Town. In fact, the Old Town had the highest number of Turkish baths in Palestine, totaling up to 30 baths. Although many have faced destruction and demolition, two of these Turkish baths are still operational today: Al-Shifa Bath (Al-Jadida) and Al-Hana Bath.
Additionally, the mosques of the Old Town, with their tall minarets and historical domes, add a unique charm to the city. Wandering through its old alleys and streets might take you back centuries. The local markets and Nablusi soap factories are widespread and serve as a destination for both locals and tourists. When visiting the Old Town, we recommend tasting the famous Nablusi Kunafa, renowned throughout the Arab world. Its origin traces back to Nablus, specifically the Old Town. The Nablusi Kunafa shops have a history spanning hundreds of years, and its crafting has been passed down with love and dedication among the locals.
