Each year Zaytoun coordinates 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 are timed to coincide with the annual olive harvest, usually around the end of October.

We’re sorry not to be promoting the usual visits to Palestine for the olive harvest season. Until the danger of transmission of COVID19 is clearly past, we do not want to risk taking the virus into Palestinian communities, especially given the lack of health infrastructure and density of population particularly in refugee camps and in Gaza.
If you have already expressed an interest in either trip, we will keep you updated with news of future trips.
A 10-day trip with our friends at The Amos Trust based in the kitchens, restaurants and markets of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Sebastia and Nazareth.
