> Meet Our Managing Director
Aziz Abu Sarah is the Managing Director for SETI Tours. As a Palestinian born
in Jerusalem, Aziz studied Tourism Management from 1999-2001, before beginning
work as both a tour director and as an advocate for the Parent’s Circle Families Forum,
an Israeli-Palestinian peace organization. His peace work has earned him the Silver Rose
Award from the European Parliament, the Goldberg Prize for Peace in the Middle East
from the Institute of International Education, and the Eisenhower Medallion. An integral part of his work
for peace has been the promotion of small business initiatives and business cooperation between Israelis
and Palestinians, and this philosophy prompted him to found SETI Tours in 2004. Aziz speaks fluent Arabic,
