Olive groves fill the hills around this Palestine racing game. It's a modern, purpose-built layout on a track drawn from Palestine's outline, nine corners in 4.3 km: Ra’s al Muqaddam at the end of the main straight, then Ramadin and Ramallah, Bayt Nūbā and Nazlat ‘Īsá, on through Rummanah, ‘Arabbūnah and Jalbūn before the last corner and the long run back to the line.
The Grand Prix of Palestine rolls over 20 metres of climb.

Around the Palestine track
The Church of the Nativity and the rooftops of Bethlehem make up the main landmark, set among rolling hills. A minaret rises over courtyard houses, and olive trees stand in rows on the slopes. Cars and minibuses are parked along the fences. The banner greets you in Arabic, and the boards read Ramallah. It's a clear, bright lap, with the hills laid out in full view.

How to drive the Palestine circuit
The main straight is 1,080 metres long and ends at Ra’s al Muqaddam, turn 1. Two corners on is Ramallah, the slowest of the lap at 84 km/h. Beyond that the layout flows over gentle hills, so a clean line through the middle sector pays off on the run home.
