See Palestine by donkey
Five young Palestinians are organizing tours of Nablus on donkeys to promote domestic tourism and the traditions of their ancestors.
NABLUS, West Bank — Five friends were hanging out in a cafe and came up with an idea that would be profitable and fun at the same time. One of them asked jokingly, “Why don’t we organize tours on donkey back?” At first his friends scoffed at him, but the next day they realized and agreed that it was a brilliant idea.
The five friends, who are from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, are final year students at An-Najah National University. Four of them are majoring in engineering and the fifth in veterinary medicine. They began to raise money to buy donkeys. Each contributed 1,000 Israeli shekels ($274) to buy five donkeys.
