Israel and Palestine Beyond the Headlines
MEJDI Mission 2026

*Private Departures Only*

Embark on an unprecedented journey with MEJDI Tours to engage deeply with the complex and evolving realities of Israel and Palestine today. Far beyond the headlines, this mission offers travelers a rare opportunity to hear from individuals on all sides of the conflict—Palestinian and Israeli guides, civil society leaders, survivors, families, cultural figures, and local residents—each offering insight into their lived experiences.

Through MEJDI’s signature Dual Narrative™ approach, participants will explore historic and contemporary fault lines, engage with grassroots movements for peace and justice, and bear witness to both trauma and resilience. This journey amplifies voices often unheard and fosters meaningful dialogue across differences.

Come ready to listen, reflect, and connect—with empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding.

“MEJDI Exclusive” Socially Conscious Experiences:
Our socially conscious tours focus on the people and stories that define each destination, creating meaningful connections that benefit local communities. With immersive itineraries, you don’t just visit new places—you become part of them. This human-centered approach is what sets MEJDI apart.
Hear directly from grassroots activists, survivors, artists, and thought leaders—including members of Standing Together, Rabbis for Human Rights, a former Gaza resident, and a hostage family members —each sharing their story of struggle, resilience, or hope.
Walk through Bethlehem with a local Palestinian guide, visit homes and community spaces, and engage with those navigating occupation, barriers, and restricted movement in everyday life.
Travel to the Israeli communities most affected by the October 7 attacks and ongoing conflict—such as Sderot and the Nova Festival site—alongside Bedouin villages and displaced families whose voices are rarely heard.
Meet people like Maoz Inon, who lost family members in the recent war and now advocates for nonviolence and shared society. Through these encounters, participants engage with stories of reconciliation and moral courage in real time.

TOUR ITINERARY

Israel/Palestine is complicated, especially now. But Mejdi is committed to diving in to the complexity, swimming around in it, teaching us all a few new strokes, and then handing us warm fluffy towels to dry off when we climb out. Hope isn’t something you “find”, it’s something you Make, by working and learning with people like the Mejdi folks. If you want to learn from people whose feet are on the ground, whose minds are sharp and critical, and whose hearts are in the right place, sign up now.

MEJDI was one of the first global tour companies to earn B Corp Certification back in 2014, long before B Corp became widely recognized beyond sustainability circles. For us, this certification is a transparent way to demonstrate that we stand by our values: we ensure local vendors are paid fair wages, prioritize small, locally-owned businesses, and treat our partners and staff with dignity and respect. This deep commitment to social change drives MEJDI’s mission: “We exist to create a more peaceful and interconnected world through travel.”
