Faith journeys · Biblical Egypt
Egypt sheltered the Holy Family, gave the world its first monasteries and holds the mountain of Moses. We design faith journeys with the reverence these places deserve.
“Out of Egypt
I called my son.”
— Matthew 2:15
For individuals, families, churches and ministry groups, we open Egypt's sacred places with guides who understand them as places of prayer as well as history.
Every faith journey can include time for worship and reflection, meetings with local Coptic communities, and a pace that leaves room for what matters. As members of the Faith Travel Association and the National Tour Association, we hold ourselves to the standards group leaders rely on.
The sacred map
From the churches of Old Cairo to the summit of Sinai.
Coptic Cairo
Built over a Roman gatehouse, the Hanging Church is one of the oldest in Egypt. Beneath Abu Serga lies the crypt where tradition holds the Holy Family rested.
Mokattam hills
Carved into the cliffs above Cairo, one of the largest churches in the Middle East gathers thousands of worshippers beneath a ceiling of living rock.
Maadi & Matareya
The riverside Church of the Virgin Mary in Maadi, where the family is said to have set sail south, and the Virgin's Tree at Matareya.
Alexandria
Where the Gospel first came to Egypt and the Coptic Church was born — alongside the catacombs and Greco-Roman wonders of the ancient city.
South Sinai
Climb by night to watch the sun rise over the mountain of Moses, then visit one of the oldest working monasteries in the world and the site of the Burning Bush.
Faith journeys
From two nights on Mount Sinai to eight days on the Holy Family trail — or a journey designed for your church group.
