The Abraham Path Initiative

No matter what appears to divide us as human beings, what unites us is far greater.

We seek to make the invisible visible and the intangible tangible by unveiling in the world’s most divided region an ancient walking path that reconnects the human family—step by step.

Following the millennia-old footsteps of a common ancestor and iconic pilgrim renowned for his hospitality toward strangers, the path celebrates self-discovery and the human kindness that dissolves all barriers.

Welcome to the Abraham Path: an invitation to explore the roots of our civilization and walk through the heart of the Fertile Crescent known today as the Middle East.
