Hisham's Palace in Jericho is an accessible archaeological site featuring well-preserved Umayyad mosaics and ruins, including the famous "Tree of Life" mosaic. Visitors can explore the site independently using informational signs, or opt for a guided tour to gain deeper historical insights into its early Islamic architecture. While open year-round, it's advisable to visit during cooler months or early mornings/late afternoons in summer due to Jericho's extreme heat. The entrance fee is typically modest (around 10-20 NIS), and a visit usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours. This significant site is conveniently located near other Jericho attractions, making it a valuable stop for history enthusiasts.
