As you travel through Tel Aviv, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem—with optional pre-trip and post-trip add-ons in Northern Israel and Jordan—your Israeli and Palestinian guides help you experience the Holy Land’s history, culture, and complex reality from multiple perspectives in a supportive and constructive atmosphere. Through our co-founder’s personal upbringing in Jerusalem and MEJDI’s established relationships, your experience is deepened by intimate discussions with local leaders, peacebuilders, and organizations, and enriched by deeply personal stories from residents, shared meals with a Palestinian family, and private music performances. Join us to see why TED, National Geographic, Smithsonian Magazine, the United Nations, and the New York Times have featured our Israel & Palestine trip.
“MEJDI Exclusive” Socially Conscious Experiences:
Our socially conscious model focuses on the human element of destinations—the diversity of its people and their stories—in a way that benefits local communities around the world. We specially design our itineraries to immerse you in these cultures. So you don’t just visit new places; you become part of them. These human experiences and how we treat the people you meet are what sets MEJDI apart.
Enjoy MEJDI’s Dual Narrative Tour™, a patented, socially conscious, award-winning approach to travel.
Guiding in tandem, Israeli and Palestinian guides debate and highlight different political, religious, and historical opinions at each site in an immersive travel experience that takes you behind the doors of mosques, churches, and synagogues, through the halls of Palestinian and Israeli government, into active dig sites, and into the homes of Arab, Jewish, and Druze locals.
MEJDI’s trained guide-facilitators help open a conversation, answer challenging questions, model friendship through respectful dialogue and disagreement, and allow travelers to encounter new voices and perspectives.
Take a full-day alternative tour of the Old City’s Jewish, Christian, and Muslim holy sites and neighborhoods with your two guides, one Arab and one Jewish.
Hear stories from members of a grassroots organization of Palestinians and Israelis who are working towards peace in the conflict.

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.
