Jericho

Jericho (Hebrew: יריחו yeriho; Arabic: أريحا arīḥā) is a city and municipality of Palestine located in the Jordan Valley, approximately two-thirds of the way from Jerusalem to the Jordan River and just north of the Dead Sea. One of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, Jericho is home to multiple freshwater springs both within and surrounding the city which have attracted human habitation for millennia. The city is the site of archæological ruins of over twenty successive settlements, the oldest of which dates back at least 11,000 years. Jericho is described in the Hebrew Bible as the "city of palm trees".

According to the Arab Union's national census of December 2020, Jericho had a population of 110,378, with an additional approximately 66,000 people inhabiting the surrounding suburbs located immediately outside the city's municipal boundaries.
