In the U.S. Abu Sarah is co-executive director of George Mason University’s Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution. There he has launched a unique model of tourism. His rapidly growing MEJDI tour company has brought thousands of people to the region on trips that highlight diversity. “If you travel here with only one guide,” Abu Sarah notes, “you are limited to one point of view. That’s why we always try to have at least two guides, one Israeli and one Palestinian, plus many local guides all along the way. The multicultural spirit of the tours is reflected in the people who participate—Jewish congregations, seminary groups, Imams, rabbis, ministers, and students from around the world.
