About Al Makhrour Valley

Nestled in the serene hills of Beit Jala, Al Makhrour Valley beats as a vibrant natural and cultural space that reflects the spirit of Palestine. It is more than a scenic valley—it is a living story of land, people, and heritage.

The Place
Al Makhrour is a uniquely preserved landscape, blending hills, stone terraces, and ancient trails. Strategically located between Beit Jala and Battir, and close to Jerusalem, it bridges history and present, nature and civilization.

The Heritage
The valley holds deep agricultural and cultural roots, expressed through ancient olive trees, traditional farming practices, and a terrain shaped by generations. It bears the marks of civilizations through its caves, water systems, and historic terraces.

The Purpose
Al Makhrour’s message transcends geography. It invites us to reflect on the human connection to nature—a call to simplicity, sustainability, and shared responsibility. Protecting this valley is not a luxury, but a duty to preserve one of Palestine’s last living landscapes for future generations.
