    This shop is excellent. Very high quality products offered by a classy, passionate owner. We were given a low-pressure tour of the shop and the pieces available. Bassem, the owner, made us feel at home throughout our time there. There is also a view on the shop’s roof that he graciously offered to show us. Easily our best view of the town throughout our tour of Bethlehem.

    I have bought and gifted items from this shop to many clients in the US and have received great feedback. The quality and uniqueness of the products, along with the story of them having been made in Bethlehem, suggest the prices should be higher (my opinion). Not to mention the excellent service. I will continue to make purchases from this shop for many years to come.

    Check this place out!

    Walking up to the Church of the Nativity look to your right and you will find a beautiful Cafe overlooking one of the busiest streets in Bethlehem. Choose the table that is most outwards..sit there and feast your eyes and your tastebuds with delicious Palestinian new cuisine..served with a great warm and welcoming smile. Hummus, quinoa salad and the best latte and cappucino in town.

    There is a small shop across from the wall that sells postcards, T-shirts, posters and the like. Banksy lovers will like it. I personally just liked walking along the wall to see the art and the sayings, most of which was in English. I've seen better wall art, but it makes you think.

    The sales people were very knowledgeable. The carved olive wood pieces were fantastic. Many to choose from and very nice selection. Everything in the store was high quality and good value.

    I happened upon this store by chance as I was walking along the barrier wall to check out the beautiful and heartbreaking stories that have been posted along the wall as well as the amazing graffiti, including some of Banksy's most popular originals. I stumbled upon the store and it's owner, Claire. The experience was wonderful. She sells a lot of great souvenirs and I strongly suggest stopping by for a chat and to purchase some amazing gifts for friends and family back home or yourself!

    I came in a pilgrim group. We were taken to this place to shop some souvenirs. This gift shops products were vary from statues, wood carving, rosary, to jewelry. There were some good deals here, if you buy something in bulk they might give you some discount.

    Mael welcomed me at the door and gave me a tour, which included how mosaic's are made. it was informative and I especially appreciated the mini mosaics. wow, patient craft's people. I purchased several items and they shipped them back for me, free of charge. they even shipped a gift to a friend in Australia. So think about gifts while you are there -- truly one of a kind. Of course, I was with Hasan from Zaid tours, and he knows everyone. So i think there was an inherent trust I had for Mael and the creators. I love my tree of life mosaic. and can't wait for the reaction of my friend in Australia. I recommend a visit.

    We were taken here by our tour guide who told us that he had negotiated a special 30% discount! The store is huge and we were given a speech by the owner when we entered. I suspect a lot of the goods are made by machine. The displays are massive but some of the wood carvings are so large that you couldn't get them out of the shop, let alone on the plane. Prices are high and similar to those in Oberammergau. There are plenty of staff and they follow you around with hard sell. There is plenty to like and admire here but I thought it was all overpriced.
