The Palestinian Territories hold some of the world's most sacred and ancient sites, from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to the old-town lanes of Hebron. For the Cameroonian traveler it is an intense cultural and spiritual pilgrimage, carried by legendary hospitality, provided you understand the access context via Israel.

Admission is at the border officer's discretion.

Required documents
