Abraham Path Initiative

The Abraham Path Initiative (API) "is working to inspire the opening of a route of cultural and religious tourism through the heart of the Middle East. The route will be centered on a new long-distance walking trail that follows the journey made by the Prophet Abraham – the common patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – some 4000 years ago."

The project was set up by William Langer Ury.
