Zaytoun has previously coordinated trips to Palestine. These include the Protective Presence Trip and The Taste of Palestine Tour, which is run in conjunction with The Amos Trust. All of the trips were timed to coincide with the annual olive harvest, usually around the end of October. Since 2023 these trips have become increasingly difficult to arrange safely. We hope to support these opportunities to visit Palestine again soon.
CANCELLED Due to FCDO’s ongoing travel advisories against the West Bank (excluding East Jerusalem) and non-essential travel to Israel, we regret to inform you that our planned Autumn Taste of Palestine trip has been cancelled.
An opportunity for volunteers to spend a fortnight alongside the olive farmers in the groves and offer solidarity as they bring their valuable harvest home.
Our week-long harvest tour offers an insight into the social and cultural landscape while visiting notable places such as Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
