Off the beaten track tours • Visit sites • Meet locals • Discuss Human Rights & Politics

Vision, Mission, and Values:

The Green Olive Collective is a social enterprise, tour operator, and advocacy organization committed to a democratic future and an end to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians. Green Olive is an organization of Palestinian and Israeli partners providing communities around the world with insights into the oppressive policies of the occupation and the resources to engage in meaningful advocacy in solidarity with Palestinians. 

This is accomplished through active engagement with the global community through tours of Palestine and Israel, a world wide membership program, and various local and transnational advocacy campaigns. The organization works to promote justice in all its forms, including the universal right to freedom of movement, education, infrastructure, and home.

As a social enterprise, the Green Olive Collective conducts tours, educational programming and advocacy initiatives that illuminate social issues and provide tools for proactive change.

As a collective of Palestinians and Israelis, the Green Olive Collective continues to experiment and develop a democratic governing framework that enables all working partners to grow professionally and personally.

Green Olive Tours: The tours are informative and analytical, covering the history, culture, religious, and political geography of Palestine and Israel. The tours highlight the lived realities of Palestinians living under occupation while showcasing the beauty, grandeur, and diversity of community life throughout the region.

The tours provide benefit to the Palestinian population through the hiring and training of tour guides, overnight stays with families and in small guest houses, and encouraging visitors to purchase local crafts directly from producers and Fair Trade outlets.

Jerusalem and the West Bank:

The tours in the occupied West Bank visit the separation barrier, and travel the roads and tunnels that connect to Jewish settlements. The day tours and package tours provide a unique opportunity to learn about Palestinian culture, gain first-hand, in-depth knowledge of the situation on the ground, and hear critical analysis from knowledgeable Palestinian and Israeli guides.


Israel:

Tours inside Israel, the territory west of the Green Line also referred to as the lands of 1948 in Palestinian society, take you on a journey of discovery through the peeled back layers of history from the Negev desert to the hills of the Galilee. Almost every part of Israel was transformed after 1948 as the country developed and absorbed millions of Jewish immigrants, at the expense of the former Palestinian residents who became refugees. Green Olive Tours provides information about the destroyed Palestinian villages, the unrecognized Bedouin townships, and examines the relationship between Israel’s Jewish and non-Jewish citizens.

Private Tours:

Private tours can be arranged for individuals or groups to almost any part of Israel and the West Bank. They can be custom designed and can include visits with Israeli and Palestinian human rights activists, business leaders, or government officials. Specialized tours can also be arranged for business people or diplomats visiting the region.

Green Olive Membership: 

The membership program was initiated in 2014 and expanded in 2023, giving people around the world tools they need to act tangibly in support of Palestinian freedom. Membership provides the opportunity to join a global community of conscience and take part in activities advancing democracy and human rights.
