Itineraries
Day 1
Arrival Cairo
You arrive in the land of the Pharaohs, Jacob, Joseph, and Israel during the famine! Upon arrival in Cairo, you meet our guide and driver who will transport you to the hotel for dinner and rest for the remainder of the evening. You relax tonight as you prepare for the adventurous travel ahead.
Day 2
Alexandria
Breakfast and then a day tour to the ancient seaport of Alexandria where you will see the Greco-Roman culture in Egypt. The second-largest city in Egypt, Alexandria, known as "The Pearl of the Mediterranean", has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern; its ambiance and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country. The first stop is the Fort of Quit Bay Built on the original place of the ancient Pharos of Alexandria, which will be followed by a visit to the ancient Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa and Pompay's Pillar. Before returning to Cairo you will relax with the breath-taking views of the Montaza Palaces.
Lunch will be served at a local restaurant beside the sea.
Day 3
Coptic Cairo, Hanging Church & Alabaster Mosque
You begin your sightseeing with a visit to the Hanging Church - the most famous Coptic church in Cairo. The Hanging Church was named so as it was built by the Nile River over the Roman Gate of Babylon. During a walking tour, our guide will point out that this section of the old city was definitely the route taken by Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and the holy family of Jesus - an inspiring thought. Next, you visit the beautiful Alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali to better understand Moslem religious practices. Completed in 1848, the Ottoman-style Muhammad Ali Mosque is the most noticeable in all of Cairo and has dominated the skyline for the past 150 years. A stop will be made at the papyrus factory store, where we see the process of creating lovely Egyptian art pictures.
Day 4
Memphis, Sakkara, Joseph's Storehouses
We enjoy a short ride to Memphis. Founded around 3,100 BC, Memphis is the legendary city of Menes, the King who united Upper and Lower Egypt. From a Biblical perspective, Memphis is most likely where Abraham lied to Pharaoh about his wife Sarah being his sister and where Joseph served as second in command. While in Memphis we will view a very large and well preserved statue of Ramses II. Next is Sakkara, which is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in Egypt! Sakkara is dominated by the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, dating back to 2700 BC. It is one of the oldest stone structures in the world! Enjoy a stop to see how local Egyptian carpets are made before a short drive to the south finds us in Faiyum, the region created by the divinely inspired wisdom of Joseph. Here you will find ancient storehouses and a man-made lake created by a canal, whose construction was ordered by Joseph. It was this lake that provided irrigation for a desert land and supplied the food needed to survive his prophesied seven year famine.
Day 5
Cairo Pyramids & Tutankhamun's Treasures
Today you travel back to ancient Egypt with a full day of touring to the wonders of the ancient world, some of which date back to 1000+ years prior to Abraham. We spend time at one of the seven wonders of the world- the pyramids. Cheops, with an original height of 496 feet, is the most colossal pyramid ever built. Today, you will also see the Sphinx and tour the Egyptian Museum, the location of Tutankhamen's treasures, and ancient remains unearthed from the different archeological site through over the Egyptian territory
