Jifna village lies on a green hill overlooking a fertile valley, 23 kms north of Jerusalem, to the west of the Jerusalem-Nablus-Nazareth road. To the West of the village lies Birzeit, and to the south the Jalazoun refugee camp. There are three roads leading to Jifna: the first is the main Jerusalem-Ramallah-Nablus road, the second is through the Jalazoun refugee camp, and the third  through Birzeit village. Located near Birzeit, Jifna is a small scenic village that was once an important Roman-Byzantine city. Previously known as Gophna of Josephus, Jifna was a regional capital during the first century AD. Today, Jifna is a popular summer resort, offering a variety of fine out-door restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
