The Abraham Path is an audacious idea, it’s a group of communities, and it’s a journey through 2000 kms of trails.

We envision the Middle East as a global destination for world class walking trails, hospitality, and a place of transformative connections.

Our Mission is to empower vibrant growth through trail development, storytelling, education, and heritage preservation.

"Every step along the Abraham Path connects us as human beings across culture, language, religion, and nationality.  Every hospitable welcome, every shared meal and story, every smile connects. Step by step, we build a better future.” 

William Ury, Founder and Chair Emeritus

The Abraham Path is a cultural route celebrating a journey made 4,000 years ago by Abraham and his family. The path retraces the cultural memory of that journey based on the power of Story, Walking, and Hospitality. The path is a work in progress, literally growing step by step in various regions throughout the Middle East.
