About Nasser
Where to stay in Nasser
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Nasser is a residential quarter of Gaza, not a lodging district. Rooms are hard to find within Nasser. Its streets run between older houses and neighbourhood shops rather than hotels, so most visitors base themselves elsewhere in Gaza and come across to Nasser for its churches and museum.
Stay nearby for the Gaza Museum of Archaeology. The Holy Family Church anchors the western edge.

What is the history of Nasser?
Nasser was laid out in 1957 as a district of Gaza. Its plan came first. The neighbourhood grew around older ground, its streets settling near the Gaza Museum of Archaeology and the Blakhiya Byzantine cemetery, whose graves are far older than the district that took shape beside them.
The Holy Family Church served the quarter as the houses gathered. Gaza held the district within its western reach.
