Pilgrimages to Egypt & Jordan
An exciting option for a pilgrimage to Israel is to extend the journey to the nearby countries of Jordan and/or Egypt.* Both of these Biblical lands offer an enhanced view of Old and New Testament sites, including the route of the Exodus, Mt. Sinai, and the site where Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. A pilgrimage to Egypt and Jordan also offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to encounter some of the world’s most astounding archeological treasures, such as Egypt’s world-wonder pyramids and the magnificent ancient stone city of Petra.
