Excellent people with excellent narratives of fabulously interesting places... Adding to what would prove to be our best tour ever, the accommodations, food, and logistics were above fabulous.

Excellent people with excellent narratives

The weeklong Mejdi tour of Israel I recently went on - "Dual Narrative Mult--Day Tour of Israel and Palestine" - was deeply disappointing in its failure to provide anywhere close to a balanced dual narrative about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our Palestinian guide gave extensive information about the Palestinian perspective on the conflict, which was quite interesting and informative, whereas our Israeli Jewish guide gave extremely little information about the conflict.  I would estimate that 90-95% of the information we were provided about the conlict over the course of the week, past and present – from our two guides and from the outside speakers and museums we visited that directly addressed that issue – was from the Palestinian perspective. And our lodging was in Palestinian/Arab sections of cities all of the nights of the tour except for the first night in Haifa.  As one of the very few Jewish people in my tour group, during much of the tour I felt lonely and sad at the large imbalance in the information we were exposed to about the two narratives. I realize not all Mejdi tours of Israel are likely to be this disappointing, in part because the guides are not the same for each tour group.  But at the same time I would have hoped for a much more balanced experience from a tour that’s marketed as a “dual narrative” one.  I gave this feedback to the Mejdi leadership right after the tour, and they thanked me for the feedback and conveyed that my experience wasn’t typical or common, but I wonder how they would know that, given that they didn’t solicit feedback from us after the tour.  And I know from many private conversations with others in my tour group that, while several people on the tour were very pleased overall,  there were several others who shared my disappointment.  While there were a number of very interesting experiences on the trip, and Mejdi did a reasonably good job of managing the trip logistics, overall the trip was deeply disappointing for the reasons I've given above.
