Ramallah is the temporary administrative capital of the Palestinian National Authority. It contains the district headquarters, the Legislative Council building, and the general headquarters of the security apparatus.

It is distinguished by the beauty of nature and the abundance of museums, art galleries, theaters and parks. The name "Ramallah", according to the most famous sayings, goes back to the Canaanite origin "Ram", which means the high area. Then the Arabs later added the word majesty to it, so it became “Ramallah” and perhaps it means "the heights of God"
