Abstract

In April 2015, the Italian Cooperation, Sapienza University of Rome and the Palestinian Ministry
of Tourism and Antiquities started the Project “Oasis of Jericho” aimed at the implementation of the
Jericho Oasis Archaeological Park (JOAP) by means of training of local personnel as tourist guides,
specialized restorers and workers for the maintenance of 13 selected archaeological, historical,
cultural, naturalistic, and religious sites in the Jericho Oasis, with the cooperation of the Ariha
Municipality. Young students and workers participated in several activities, including sites
rehabilitation and the production and installation of explanatory panels, the creation of visit
itineraries and the involvement of the local community and stakeholders into the protection and
valorization of the Jericho archaeological heritage.
