WATCH: new ads for Palestine

Hello Friends

Part of IPCRI’s work is to encourage people to travel to and experience both Israel and Palestine so that they have an opportunity to learn more about the importance of making peace. We would therefore like you to check out these great advertisements just released by the privately owned Palestinian tourism website visitpalestine.ps. You can learn more about the campaign at www.visitpalestine.ps/comesee.

Taybeh has won numerous awards at international beer-tasting competitions, and often surprises visiting beer connoisseurs, who don’t expect such a refined flavor from a Middle Eastern beer.

Orjuwan Lounge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFKQFfx9bTo

Katia Sakakini and her brothers Sari and Saleem founded Orjuwan Lounge in Ramallah in 2009. Raising the capital to open the restaurant required the three young entrepreneurs to take out loans, but a chance to show the world that Palestine could offer a world-class dining experience was worth the risk. Orjuwan’s skilled chefs combine ingredients of traditional Mediterranean cuisine from Palestine and Italy into delicious offerings that give new life to classic dishes. Check out www.orjuwanlounge.comfor more information.
