Tubas

Tubas is a prominent town situated in the northeastern West Bank, positioned on a high plateau that provides a natural vantage point over the Jordan Valley. Historically, the area is widely associated with the biblical city of Thebez, known from the story of King Abimelech. Today, Tubas serves as the agricultural backbone of the region, acting as a gateway to the highly fertile lands of the Ghor. The surrounding plains benefit from a unique climate that supports year-round farming of essential crops like tomatoes and cucumbers. Beyond crop production, the town is a major hub for livestock trading, with its bustling markets being a focal point for farmers across the northern territories. The town's layout reflects its growing economic importance, blending traditional stone architecture with newer developments. Visitors are drawn to the authentic atmosphere of the local markets and the sweeping panoramic views of the verdant valley floor contrasting with the rugged hillsides.
