Description
Explore the quiet countryside of Palestine as you live alongside a Palestinian - Colombian family on a small campsite. We are a family of 4 (myself, brother and parents) and 2 cats. Our campsite is located on our property in the valley of Al-Taybeh. We enjoy hosting friends from around the world sharing cultures, food, and stories. As you stay with us you'll indulge in a range of traditional Palestinian and Colombian meals, do some sightseeing, and witness the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and you could do it all while bunking in one of our comfy tents!
The glamping project is a family-owned business, all proceeds go to keep the project running and maintaining the facilities. My parents, brother and I did all the construction work, setting up the tents, and the gardening. My mom prepares the meals for guests while my brother and I oversee the entertaining aspect.
