You are invited to join a guided tour of the alleys of the city of Fassuta under the guidance of Rima Khoury.
We will enter the magnificent Greek Catholic Church (which to this day belongs to the Pope), the local houses for warm human encounters, taste bread from the local bakery with labaneh and homemade hyssop.
We will taste special and rich cakes that are considered “Bavaria of Europe” as well as traditional cookies that will be prepared especially for us and that can usually only be eaten during the Christmas period.
