Born and raised in Jerusalem, Dalia Habash studied in the United States, attending Washington State University in Pullman Washington and graduating with a degree in Communications.
Upon returning to Jerusalem, she worked for newspapers and magazines before deciding to join her parents' travel agency in 1994. She worked there until 2000 when the second Intifada started—they lost all business for a few years. Dalia used her time to work at Birzeit University and then at the National Conservatory of Music for 5 years. As tourism trickled back slowly, work eventually came back in full. She has concentrated on the tourism business over the past 13 years.
The Covid pandemic has created another round of challenges. Like all of us, Dalia is hopeful the vaccines will work and life will go back to semi-normal soon. She's eager for tourists to return and enjoy her beautiful country.
