Palestine accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 8 December 2011, and its inscribed sites are exclusively cultural.

Common themes among its inscriptions include prehistoric urban settlements (e.g., Ancient Jericho), sacred Christian religious landmarks (such as the Birthplace of Jesus and Hebron), and traditional cultural landscapes integrating agriculture and water systems (notably Battir’s terraces and irrigation).
