The young Palestinian Hamza Siraj, born outside his native country, offers Palestinians forced to leave their country documentary virtual tours of various religious and cultural sites, with techniques that bring them closer to the most important sites in Palestine.
Hamza Siraj, a Palestinian born in a Gulf country, says he knows he is Palestinian, but did not know what “Palestine” meant until he returned there.
He added that the first thing that came to mind was “how lucky” he was to be able to come back to her when others couldn’t.
From then on, he came up with the idea of implementing a project aimed at transferring his experiences after returning to Palestine to Palestinians in the Diaspora who cannot return there.
The project aims to introduce Palestinian expatriates to the most important archaeological sites in Palestine, in addition to showing them their villages, hoping that this idea can heal some of the wounds of those living in the diaspora and cover all corners of it. in the future.
Hamza says, “I want those experiences that I had that shaped me and made me understand what the country is. I want everyone to see the country, at least all the Palestinians who live outside understand why they are Palestinian, and why Palestine?”
Audiences of this project have expressed delight with these virtual tours, describing them as amazing.
Baraa al-Jarf, a Palestinian from the diaspora, said: “Of course, when I always heard about Palestine from my grandfather or from people who lived in Palestine, I felt like to be there, but from the narration itself, from the description and the words alone, but when the description became in front of me in virtual reality, I felt a different feeling.” Completely, I feel the things I hear and see at the same time, I try to match the stories I’ve heard before about the things my eyes see at the time I’m in, the only thing missing is is maybe I breathe the air of Palestine, that’s the only thing that was incomplete.”
The project has a website through which users can apply and request coverage for specific locations and locations.
