Al-Mashti is a historic city in the Palestinian West Bank, located about 15 kilometers south of Ramallah, in the mountainous central West Bank, at an average altitude of 650 meters above sea level, with a pleasant climate and four distinct seasons. The city has a rich cultural heritage dating back to the Roman and Byzantine periods, with ancient stone buildings, mosques and traditional markets, including the "Old City of Mashaal", famous for its characteristic Ottoman-era houses and narrow, winding stone roads, which show the architectural style of traditional Palestinian towns. The local population is mainly agricultural, producing crops such as olives, grapes and oranges, while handicrafts, such as embroidery and pottery, have been handed down from generation to generation. As an important part of Palestinian culture, the annual "Olive Festival" and "Traditional Handicrafts Exhibition" held in Mashal attract many tourists and become an important window to showcase Palestinian folk culture. However, while the city faces many challenges to its development due to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, local residents are still striving for peace and prosperity while preserving their culture.
