Loay Alshareef

Loay Alshareef is an Arab Muslim peace advocate, historian, and social media influencer whose mission is to bridge divides between Muslims and Jews and to champion peace in the Middle East.

Born and raised in Saudi Arabia to a Saudi Egyptian family that once held many radical views, Alshareef experienced a turning point in 2010 after living with a Jewish family in France. That experience reshaped his worldview and inspired his lifelong commitment to peace.

He began his media career in Saudi Arabia, working across fields such as language education, history, and tourism, before dedicating himself fully to peace advocacy and promoting the Abraham Accords.

As a leading voice in interfaith dialogue and reconciliation, he has earned international recognition for his pro-Jewish stance, support for Israel’s legitimacy, and commitment to the Abraham Accords. He is currently based in United Arab Emirates.

With an academic background that combines software engineering (MA, Penn State) and expertise in ancient languages and scripts, Alshareef offers a rare perspective that unites technology, history, and cultural understanding. He reads Egyptian hieroglyphs and ancient Arabian scripts, and leverages this deep historical knowledge to foster meaningful narratives of coexistence.

Alshareef’s influence extends to over 800,000 followers across Instagram and X, where his multilingual content reaches a global audience. His ability to communicate complex issues in an accessible way has positioned him as one of the most compelling voices for peacebuilding, cultural diplomacy, and interreligious understanding.

He frequently appears in international media, conferences, and universities across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.

Above all, Alshareef stands as a pioneering Arab voice of reconciliation—a bridge-builder dedicated to rewriting the story of Muslim-Jewish relations for a more peaceful future.
