BETHLEHEM, West Bank — Jana al-Khatib, 11, went on an unforgettable trip with her mother from the town of Abu Dis in Jerusalem to nearby Bethlehem, to closely watch and listen to dinosaurs and giant predatory insects.
Extinct animals have returned to the land where they lived for millions of years, all thanks to a new permanent exhibit located at Solomon's Pools and the Convention Palace of Bethlehem in Wadi Artas in southern Bethlehem. Launched March 14, the dinosaur and giant insect exhibit, featuring animatronic models, is sponsored by the Solomon Pools Company, the Convention Palace of Bethlehem and the Bethlehem-Bath Links charity.
