Mount Ebal, rising north of Nablus, is a significant biblical site mentioned in the Book of Deuteronomy. Today, it offers a rewarding hike for those seeking panoramic vistas of the city, the surrounding hills, and the Jordan Valley. The trail winds through terraced fields and olive groves, leading to a summit marked by an ancient stone structure. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty and historical resonance, with the city of Nablus spread out below like a living map.

Don't miss

  • Hike the main trail to the summit for sweeping views of Nablus and the West Bank
  • Explore the ancient stone altar or cairn at the top, linked to biblical traditions
  • Photograph the contrast between the green terraced slopes and the urban sprawl below
