Masar Ibrahim
Masar Ibrahim, a community-based walking trail, was mainly developed in Palestine, but with
an ambition to include the whole of Abraham’s Path, through Egypt, occupied Palestine, Turkey
Syria, and Iraq. Created in 2007 by the international non-governmental organization, Masar
Ibrahim Initiative, in collaboration with Harvard University, Masar Ibrahim is a cultural
walking route that retraces the journeys of Abraham, an important figure in all the three major
monotheistic religions; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. 559

Bedouin Trails
A corridor promoting the distinct Arabic heritage and tradition of the nomadic Bedouin people
would open up the region to international travelers. With a focus on making the culture
accessible, it would bring the magnificent natural and cultural heritage of the area closer to a
larger number of visitors.
