Archeology, wonderful views, unique hospitality
The beauty of the old city Jaba is located to the south of Bethlehem. The term “Jaba” is an Aramaic word meaning “hill”.
In the Roman era it was called Jbata. The history of Jaba dates to the Canaanite period until recent times during the British Mandate, the Jordanian rule, and the Israeli occupation and Palestinian Authority.
In the old town of al Jaba, you can find buildings of the Roman period.
Currently, the village has 1,200 residents who live in houses far from the old town, which contains only 20 houses.
