KNOWLEDGE OF Nablus
NÄ?blus (sometimes NÄ?bulus; Arabic: نابلس (help·info); pronounced Naablus) ( Hebrew: שכ×?; pronounced "Shkhem"); 32°13′N 35°16′E) is a major city under Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and, with a population of over 100,000, is one of the largest Palestinian population centers in the Middle East..Shechem is also an alternative English name for the city, though less common than Nablus. The city lies 63 km north of Jerusalem, between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim. Ancient Shechem is located in the eastern part of the modern city, in a site known as Tal Balatah. An ancient city with a rich history, NÄ?blus is a site of religious significance to the three major Abrahamic faiths, and is also a scene of political instability related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
NÄ?blus is the site of An-Najah National University, the largest Palestinian university. It is also the location of the Palestine Stock Exchange and leading ICT organizations such as Palestine Telecommunication Company and AMRA Information Technology. NÄ?blus is an agricultural and commercial trade center dealing in traditional industries such as production of soap, olive oil, wine, and handicrafts. Other industries include furniture production, tile production, stone quarrying, textile manufacturing and leather tanning. The city is also a regional trading center for live produce. There are three refugee camps just outside the city, which were built for the Palestinian refugees of 1948. These camps are Ein Beit el Ma, Balata and Askar Al Quadim and Askar Al Jadid. Together they have more than 34,000 inhabitants.
NÄ?blus is famous for the architecture of its market, the Kasbah in the old city, and also for the Palestinian culinary specialty of knafeh, a pastry dessert drenched in syrup and served in square-cut slices fresh from the oven. Knafeh made in Nablus is known throughout the world as "Knafeh Nabulsia".

The city of NÄ?blus is erected between these two mountains, and its buildings cover a fertile valley between the two.
