A hotel filled with the work of British graffitist Banksy has been unveiled in Bethlehem.
The artist's nine-room guesthouse, called The Walled Off Hotel, will open on 11 March - with rooms available from just £25 per night.
Staffed by locals, the colonial-themed hotel also offers a presidential suite and a museum filled with Banksy's politically charged work.
Meanwhile, in room number three, called Banksy's Room, guests can sleep under a Banksy piece showing a Palestinian and an Israeli having a pillow fight.
The Guardian reports that the hotel, which boasts "the worst view in the world" according to its elusive creator, will host Palestinian exhibitions to encourage dialogue.
Israelis are restricted from visiting Bethlehem but the hotel is located in an area they can enter, overlooking the West Bank separation barrier built by Israel.
