The land known as Daher’s Vineyard was purchased in 1916 by Daher Nassar, the father of Bishara, and grandfather of the Nassar family who now runs the Tent of Nations project. Since then, many family members have worked the land by day, and slept in caves by night. The land produces olives, grapes, almonds, wheat and other crops.

The land comprises 400 dunams (100 acres), and is situated on a hilltop 9km southwest of Bethlehem nearby the village of Nahalin. It falls within the area now known as the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.
