Our recent multi-narrative tour "Beyond the Headlines", which took place this past week in Israel and Palestine, has been described as impactful, life-changing and essential.
This tour was unlike any other. Participants did not attend to sightsee. They went to sit with people, hear their stories, meet with and learn from NGOs, gain a nuanced and contextual understanding of the current situation outside of what the media prints, and form relationships with people and families, Israeli and Palestinian, who have suffered so much over the last six months.
In the coming weeks, as we prepare for the next "Beyond the Headlines" tour in May, we will share more about this unique experience, what we learned, who we met, and how we can all help.

We're incredibly proud that MEJDI was one of the first global tour companies to be B Corp Certified (in 2014, years before B Corp was widely known outside of sustainability circles). That's right - ten years strong!
For us, this meant a transparent way we could show that we mean what we say and our actions speak louder than words: We pay local vendors fair wages, prioritize small locally owned vendors in destinations, treat our partners and staff with dignity and respect, and use travel to create a more inclusive reality for all the hard working people who bring our tours to life.
Mejdi - which translates to both “honor” and “respect”- was established to achieve one goal: change the face of tourism through a socially responsible business model that honors both clients and communities.
Here's to the next ten years!
