FOLLOW THE EXODUS FROM THE NILE TO THE JORDANWe follow the route Moses took, leading his people out of slavery under Pharaoh in Egypt, across the Red Sea and through the rock desert of the Sinai peninsula to the Jordan River. Like their journey, ours too will be a journey of faith and of discovery. WONDERS OF THE WORLDWe begin with the Pyramids and the Sphinx, old even when Moses and his people were in Egypt, enduring monuments to the ancient cultures of the Nile. The Cairo Museum, where the splendours of ancient Egypt are displayed, gives a dramatic image of the life and times of the Pharaohs THE AGELESS RIVERA cruise down the Nile from Aswan to Luxor, with its temples, tombs and towns adds vivid pictures of Egypt at the time of Moses. The timeless river and the fields along its banks have changed little over the millennia. MOUNT SINAI & THE BANKS OF THE JORDANAmong the spectacular scenery of Mount Sinai Moses received the Ten Commandments. At its foot is St Catherine's Monastery. Travel to the Rose Red City of Petra and up the King's Highway. Here is Mount Nebo where Moses saw the Promised Land. And we descend to the Jordan to the place of Jesus' baptism, where archaeologists have identified the exact spot. We are reminded of our common call to the Christian pilgrimage of faith. |
