I spent my 30th birthday at this amazing place, and it was one of the gifts I gave myself for my birthday. The place is beautiful and luxurious, and the people there are kind, attentive, and have so much to give and share in conversation. I felt so comfortable. I ordered coffee. In summary, this place was an inseparable part of celebrating my thirties.”

One of my favorite spots in Nazareth, located at the core of the Old City, near Abraham Hostel by Fauzi Azar, Liwan is a peaceful spot to have some coffee and read a book. Talk to their baristas, they're really interesting people, willing to tell you more about their café/bookstore. Good place to buy some souvenirs from Nazareth.

No ordinary place in Nazareth. Books, pics and other art things are presented there. You also can buy some of them. Majority of them Palestinian culture. Quiet music, opened window make relaxing atmosphere. Interior design looks like Mediterranean small cafe. A glass of vine or beer in Liwan's cafe is good break in walking throw old Nazareth. I recommend visiting this place and tasting cafe.

Sort of resurrecting the Nazareth traditional market (Souq), into a new tradition lead by Sami, who is walking across the alley! Spreading his faith with other “committed” allies. Come and relent yourself.
