It’s very important to know a little about the driving circumstances in Palestine prior to having your car shipped to the country. If you will be driving yourself in Palestine then you need to know that driving in the West Bank is currently safe to do. Driving in Gaza is not recommended at all. Most of the roadways are paved and lined with beautiful scenery as you go through the West Bank but you will want to pay attention as you drive due to potentially having stones or firebombs thrown at the car, and you will want to watch the roads for debris from bombings. You will need to make sure that you have Motor Vehicle Insurance on your car that will cover driving in Palestine.
