Bring your church or school to the land of the patriarchs and the Exodus, from the pyramids of Giza to the temples of Luxor and the brick-fields of the Nile. We build it around your group.
Egypt frames the whole biblical story. It's where Abraham sojourned, where Joseph rose to power, where Israel multiplied and was enslaved, and where God brought his people out with a mighty hand. To stand among its monuments is to see the world the Bible's oldest narratives assume.
This tour moves from the pyramids of Giza and the necropoli of Memphis to the great temples of Thebes: Karnak, called No-Amon in Scripture, where Shishak's relief records his campaign against Israel and Judah, and the Theban necropolis, beside mud-brick storehouses like those the Hebrews were forced to build (Exodus 1:11). It ends in Old Cairo among the earliest churches and the synagogue of the Cairo Geniza. Your guide carries the history; you or a teacher you choose opens the Scriptures.
We run Biblical Egypt as a private, custom tour for your group (a church, a school, a class, or a circle of friends), shaping the dates, the pace, and the teaching around you.
