Nablus in the West Bank

Nablus is a city set in a valley between Mt Gerizim and Mt Ebal. God told Joshua to send some tribes to each mountain and pronounce blessings and curses to remind the people of these things.

It is famous for olive oil soap (top pic) and for a delicious sweet called Kunafa (bottom pic) which is goat cheese under a sweet biscuit/cake topping liberally dripping with honey or something sweet like that. It was delicious. Finding the shop was interesting because we had to wend our way through narrow alleys in a souk.
