Famous for its grapes and vineyards, Hebron was also renowned for its talented craftsmen who worked in glass, ceramic and leather. The name "Hebron", "Khalil" in Arabic, is inspired by the name of the Muslim prophet, Khalil Arahman Ibrahim, who is buried in the mosque in Hebron.

The area of Hebron includes many villages such as Yatta, Dura, Halhoul and Beit Jibrin. All were renowned for their beautiful dresses, and dense, multi-colored embroidery.
