Palestinian zaatar (زعتر) is an iconic spice blend that captures the richness of Arab flavors. Combining thyme, sumac, oregano, sesame seeds, coriander, and salt, it offers a perfect balance of tanginess, nuttiness, and herbal aroma.
🌿 A Palestinian culinary tradition
In Palestine, zaatar is traditionally enjoyed with fresh bread and olive oil – a simple ritual that turns a meal into a moment of sharing. Its versatility makes it perfect for modern cooking too: add it to marinades, sprinkle over salads, or use it to season warm dishes.
💚 Health benefits
Zaatar is not just delicious:
Boosts the immune system thanks to thyme’s antiseptic properties.
Aids digestion by improving intestinal transit and reducing bloating.
Enhances memory and focus when eaten with olive oil in the morning.
Protects teeth and gums thanks to thyme’s natural properties.

Palestinement offers you a variety of products from different vendors in Jerusalem’s Old City.
We group these vendors under the label “Old City Vendors” because, at this stage, we don’t offer enough varied products from each of their shops to create separate categories for them.
It is vital to support them: Palestinian shopkeepers in Jerusalem face significant discrimination compared to other merchants. They are burdened with heavy taxes, excluded from state aid, and subjected to constant harassment by the police and tax authorities. On top of this, they are discriminated against when it comes to access to tourists — their main source of income. Most tourists are accompanied by Israeli tour guides who strongly discourage them from buying from Palestinian shops, falsely claiming that doing so would fund terr*rism.
For all these reasons — and many more — let’s support them and help keep the living heritage of Jerusalem’s Old City alive!
