A general view shows a large mosaic after restoration at Hisham's Palace, an early Islamic archaeological site, in the West Bank city of Jericho, 28 October 2021. The mosaic floor dating back to the Umayyad era contains 38 carpet-like connected panels covering ca. 827 square meters. The multi-year restoration project, done in cooperation between the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at a cost of 12 million USD, includes the construction of a protective roof and exhibition facilities. 
Hisham's Palace, built in the first half of the 8th century AD, is attributed to the Umayyad Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik. The mosaic was previously buried with sand and insulating materials for many years to protect it from climatic influences.
