West Bank - Urban Art Tour Info, by peted on May 17, 2016 19:52:52 GMT 1, I'm in Israel heading to the West Bank at the weekend. Does anyone have info on the best way to see the wall art? Any issues going in from Israel?
Cheers

West Bank - Urban Art Tour Info, by Feral Things on May 20, 2016 15:58:15 GMT 1, The majority of Bร nksy's pieces are near the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem including Girl Searching Solider, LIITA, Soldier Checking Donkey and Armoured Dove (which is in Bethlehem itself rather than on the Separation Wall); this is also where Blu, Sam3 and Swoon did pieces. However, Bร nksy's Rope Ladder and Guard Pulling Back Curtain are in Abu Dis and Armchairs With A View and Boy With A Bucket are in Ramallah.ย
Green Olive Tours is run co-cooperatively by both Palestinians and Israelis and they'll do a private day-tour of the Bร nksy pieces but alternatively most taxi drivers will be able to take you to the locations. Crossing into East Jerusalem might be difficult but I understand that another checkpoint has recently been opened up and it's easier for tourists to cross anyway.
I'm not certain of which pieces are still there but I think most are and I'd would love to see photos if you find them.
