MEJDI Tours has operated tours in Israel and in the Palestinian Authority, Ireland and Northern Ireland, Jordan, Turkey, Iraqi Kurdistan, Spain, and Egypt, among others. They have organized Christian, Jewish, Muslim, university and Non-profit tours. MEJDI Tours is also the sole operator of National Geographic's Holy Land and Traveling the Sands of Time: Oman to Dubai expeditions. The company's two-guide model equips groups with two local guides.

In 2014, MEJDI co-founder Aziz Abu Sarah gave a TED Talk about MEJDI Tours' concept and goals.
