- Landmarks
- Manara Square; Palestinian Museum; Old Ramallah; Palestinian; British Mandate
- Viewpoint
- Favor an elevated viewpoint overlooking Ramallah from one of its scenic surrounding hills (such as from the heights near Al-Tireh or looking toward Al-Manara), showing olive-terraced slopes in the foreground, with the limestone houses, church spires, and mosque minarets cascading across the rolling hills in the middle-ground, and the layered highland ridges fading into the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the ancient terraced olive groves, cypresses, fig trees, and hillside gardens.
- Guarded against
- Not an ancient desert ruin or generic Middle Eastern town
