The Jericho Governorate (Arabic: محافظة أريحا, romanized: Muḥāfaẓat Arīḥā) is one of 16 Governorates of Palestine. Its capital is Jericho. The governorate is located along the eastern areas of the West Bank, along the northern Dead Sea and southern Jordan River valley bordering Jordan. It spans west to the mountains east of Ramallah and the eastern slopes of Jerusalem, including the northern reaches of the Judaean Desert. The population of the Jericho Governorate is estimated to be 50,002, including 13,334 Palestinian refugees in the governorate's camps.[1]
Agriculture is important to the economy in the district, especially in the valley near Jericho, its capital. Jericho is often considered the oldest settlement in the world; its many historic and archaeological sites attract numerous tourists to the area.
Ein es-Sultan (also known as "Elisha's Spring") is an oasis in Jericho that works as one of the main touristic spots in the area.[2]
