 | | Jericho is the oldest continously inhabited city in existence - the first ancient city was established in approximately 8,000 BC. |
 | | Jericho has something for everyone: along the Jerusalem-Jericho raod are a number of historical sites: Bethany, Al-Khan Al-Ahmar, Wadi Qelt, Maqam Nabi Musa, Maqam Hasan Al-ra'l and Maqam Aisha, Herod's Palace, Old Jericho (Tell Al-Sultan), Mount of Temptation, The Sugar Mills, Hisham's Palace, Qumran, the Dead Sea and the River Jordan. |
 | | In addition to most of the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area, which were turned over to the PA in May 1994, Israel began redeploying its forces in the West Bank and turning over major towns and villages to the PA in late 1995. |
