After breakfast we start our full day tour. We enjoy a short ride to Memphis. Memphis was founded around 3,100 BC. It was the legendary city of Menes, the King who united Upper and Lower Egypt. From a Biblical perspective, Memphis was the place where Abraham lied to Pharaoh about his wife Sarah being his sister. Further, it is believed to be the location where Joseph served as second in command. While in Memphis we view a very large and well preserved statue of Ramses II. Next we travel to 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. After we visit the Step Pyramid, we enjoy a stop at a local Egyptian carpet shop. Then we take a short southern drive to Fayoum, the region created by the wisdom of Joseph. Here you will find ancient storehouses and a man-made lake created by a canal, whose construction was supposedly ordered by Joseph. It is believed that this lake provided irrigation for a desert land and supplied the food needed to survive his prophesied seven year famine. Back to Cairo for overnight. ( B, L ) |

A visit is made to the St. Catherine Monastery where you see the Burning Bush and the well where Moses spoke with Zipporah.
A transfer is made to the Land of Goshen. Here we visit Wadi Feiran. Few places are steeped in Biblical mystery as the great Wadi Feiran. It is Sinai’s largest wadi (valley) and one of the most archeologically important stretches of terrain. It was here, according to locals, scholars, and legend, that Moses struck the rock with his staff, bringing forth a spring so his people could drink. Feiran is also the site of Rephidim, the fabled oasis where the Hebrews camped and battled the Amalekites. For the pilgrims and Christians who have been coming to this wadi for centuries, a journey through Feiran is to pass through an entire chapter of the Old Testament itself.
Also, we will visit the Greek Seven Girl’s Monastery. It is located on a spring in the middle of an oasis. In this vicinity it is surmised that Joshua defeated the Amalekites while Moses and Aaron gave their prayerful support. Our last stop today will be at the Springs of Moses. Seven mi/11km southeast of Suez, on the east side of the gulf, are the Springs of Moses. (Ain Musa) This group of hot springs (70-84 degrees F vs. 21-29 degrees C) have both sweet and bitter springs.
