Bir Zeit, Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, Palestinian Territories

Birzeit, Al Aroud Street

Recorded behind my apartment building in Birzeit, Ramallah, Palestine during the day. The soundscape captures the wind gently blowing through trees, kids playing in the background, muffled voices and TV sounds coming from nearby apartments, and passing cars on the street. A layered, everyday ambient atmosphere from a residential area. Great for documentary, urban background, or Middle Eastern sound environments.

-Some info about Berzeit from Wikipedia-

Birzeit (Arabic: بيرزيت), also Bir Zeit (بير زيت), is a Palestinian Christian town north of Ramallah, in the West Bank. Its population in the 2017 census was 5,878.[2] Birzeit is home to Birzeit University and to the Birzeit Brewery.

Location: Palestine, Ramallah, Berzeit.
