Sample Day-by-Day Itinerary:

 

Day 1 - USA - Tel Cairo

Begin your spiritual journey as we depart for the overnight flights to Tel Aviv.

 

Day 2 - Arrive Cairo

Upon your arrival in Cairo you will be met by your driver and transfer to your hotel for rest before dinner.

 

Day 3 - Cairo: Memphis, Sakkara, Great Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx

Travel as Abraham did to Memphis (Biblical Noph) and on to Sakkara where you will see the Step Pyramid, the world's oldest stone structure. Next, we visit the Great Pyramids and their inscrutable protector, the Sphinx. If time permits we will visit a Papyrus institute.


Day 4 - Cairo: Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo and the Holy Family

This morning we will go to the center of Cairo by the Nile to admire the ancient treasures of the Egyptian Museum. Afterwards we head towards Old Cairo to follow the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt as you explore the Coptic Hanging Church, Coptic Museum and Ben Ezra Synagogue. We visit the miraculous St. Simoen’s Monastery that is carved in the mountain. If time permits, we visit Virgin Mary’s church that witnessed the apparition of Virgin Mary in 1968 BD.

 

Day 5 - Cairo - Petra 

Wake up in Cairo and embark on a visit to Petra by way of a short flight.  Upon arrival at Amman Airport we drive to Petra.  We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner and overnight.

 

Day 6 - Petra

Today you will enjoy a tour of Petra. This tour is a two hour walking tour. It begins with a walk through the Siq to the Treasury. Continue through the main street with magnificent structures on each side carved into the mountains, to the colonnaded street, ending at the Petra Museum. Lose yourself in the history of the Nabateans who meticulously carved massive structures out of the rose colored sandstone. See the influence of the people that followed including the architecture of the mighty Romans and a beautiful Byzantine chapel decorated with ancient, stunning mosaics that have been carefully preserved. Enjoy a free afternoon for shopping, exploration, or rest.

 

Day 7 - Petra - Kerak - Maeleba - Mt. Nebo - Amman
After breakfast we depart for the "King's Highway". We will first visit Kerak  including the Castle of Karak, the largest of mountain-top crusader castles. Next we are off to Madaba, "The City of Mosaics", to visit St. George Church where there is a clear map of the Holy land (including Israel, Palestine & Lower Egypt).  We will visit Mt. Nebo, where Moses was laid to rest, and where the late Pope John Paul II tread on his first pilgrimage of the millennium. Visit the Sanctuary at Nebo: the memorial of Moses, the presumed site of his death and burial place, and a center for pilgrimages since earliest Christian times. You'll be inspired by the biblical feel from start to finish as you experience this divine tour. Mount Nebo is one of the most revered holy sites of Jordan, for this is where Moses was buried. The site's association with the last days of Moses is described in moving words in Deuteromony (34:1-7). The episode of Balak and Balam (2:13-26) also took place here. The site's other name is Pisgah: "And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is opposite Jericho".   We continue on to our hotel in Amman for dinner and overnight.
 

 

Day 8 - Excursion to Dead Sea & Jerash

After breakfast we depart for the Dead Sea, the lowest spot on earth. We visit the Museum of the Dead Sea Scrolls and will also have free time for bathing in the healing salt waters. We continue on to Jerash, nestled in a quiet valley among the mountains of Gilead, is the grandeur of Imperial Rome being one of the largest and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the World outside Italy. To this day, its paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theaters, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates remain in exceptional condition. Return to Amman for dinner and overnight.

 

Day 9 - Amman - USA

Reflect on this incredible journey as we are transferred to Amman International Airport for departure flights to the USA.

 

 

Please note: A visa is required for travel to Egypt, but may be obtained at the time of arrival.

 

Note:

  • Though every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited.  Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events may necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits.

  • We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as indicated.  However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged.
  • Our intention is to operate all Pilgrimages to the Egypt, as listed below, however, from time to time, due to the state of affairs in the area, departure may be cancelled, in which case, all money would be refunded.
