Israel and Palestine - Land of Opposites

Nabi Musa (Arabic: Nabi Musa) is an important Muslim pilgrimage site in the Judean desert. Nabi Musa means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Prophet Mosesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Palestinian folklore has it that on this spot Moses found his final resting place. With its numerous white domes and impressive minaret, the mosque is a spectacular sight, lying in the midst of a Muslim burial ground with the barren desert landscape in the background.

About

Israel is so much more than a pilgrimage destination for religious holiday groups. It has fabulous beaches, breathtaking landscapes and an amazing nightlife. The diversity of its people with their effect on culture and cuisine are second to none - and also on the flip side, those cultural differences make it a place with enormous difficulties. Kiki Streitberger is a London based photographer. In 2009/10 she explored every corner of the country by train, bus, car, motorbike, taxi and on foot. She climbed Massada at the crack of dawn, swam in the Dead Sea, crossed checkpoints, nearly lost her camera on several occasions and met countless wonderful people. She got to know a place where traces of an ancient history are omnipresent within a country that is continuously reinventing itself. In its landscapes as well as its cultures, Israel's versatility is second to none. Photos taken during that time have been put together in this book, to give an insight into this unique land of opposites.
