Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, Palestinian Territories

Recorded at night in the village of Ein Qiniya near Ramallah, Palestine. This ambient soundscape captures distant voices of friends talking softly, layered with natural sounds of crickets and occasional barking dogs. In the deep background, you can hear the faint hum of the distant city.

-info about the place from Wikipedia-

Ein Qiniya or 'Ayn Kiniya (Arabic: عين قينيا) is a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank, located 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) northwest of Ramallah and part of the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate of the State of Palestine. Ein Qiniya has existed since the Roman-era of rule in Palestine.[3] The village is very small with no public structures or institutions and is governed by a local development committee. Ein Qiniya is regionally notable for being a spring and autumn time picnic resort.[3]

There is an annual walk on March 4 from Ramallah to Ein Qiniyya in celebration of the spring.[4]
