Salfit

Salfit is a relatively young Palestinian city, functioning as the administrative center of the Salfit Governorate. Situated about 20 kilometers north of Ramallah and 26 kilometers southwest of Nablus, Salfit's economy is predominantly supported by its flourishing agricultural sector. The city's elevation ranges from 569 meters above sea level in the west to 672 meters in the western and northwestern regions.
The fertile lands surrounding Salfit yield an abundance of olives, almonds, figs, grapes, and apples - a bounty that has earned the city the Latin moniker "Salfit," meaning "grape basket" or "cultivated fields." This agricultural legacy dates back to the Iron Age, with evidence of continuous habitation in the area from that period up to the present day.
Beyond its agricultural prowess, the Salfit Governorate is home to a wealth of archaeological and cultural heritage sites, offering a window into the region's rich and storied past. These include the Bronze, Iron, Hellenistic, and Roman-era ruins of Abu Al-Zard Hill in Yasuf, the Byzantine-era Monastery of Simeon in Kafr Al-Dik, the decorated Roman tombs of Khirbet Qarqash in Bruqin, and historical Kursi village Deir Istiy and Shrines of  Kifl Haris.
The governorate also encompasses the Wadi Qana Reserve, a natural treasure shared with the neighboring Qalqilya Governorate.
