About us

Palestine Heritage Journeys is a collaboration between archaeologist Tawfiq Daʿadli (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), historian Yossef (Yossi) Rapoport (Queen Mary University London – QMUL), and heritage consultants Nadine Aranki and Gabriel Polley.

We are driven by an overwhelming sense of urgency about reclaiming the memory of the Palestinian historical landscape in response to the massive ongoing destruction. The Islamic past of the land is an integral and central part of a history of Palestine, that does not begin with the advent of Islam, but stretches back thousands of years, to times when the land bore different names, yet remained the same land.
