Jericho (Modern Jericho/Ariha, West Bank, Palestine)
Famous for Joshua’s trumpet-toppled walls, this city claims to be humanity’s oldest. Its name barely changed through the Canaanite, Israelite, and Roman periods, becoming “Ariha” in Arabic after the 7th century CE. Located in the West Bank, Palestine, modern Jericho attracts tourists to its archaeological sites. The oasis city continues to thrive where ancient walls once stood.
