Reading biblical stories that relate to Egypt while looking at the pyramids or praying a psalm about the wilderness while looking off into the desert are powerful experiences. Egypt’s presence is always in the background of Scripture as THE empire, the embodiment of an economic system named after its signature site, against which the prophets thundered, a place of enslaved peoples making bricks with no straw; but also a place of surprising refuge, welcome, abundant hospitality, where leaders could be moved by love, forgiveness and humility, a context for birthing risky courage, and a liberation narrative that has changed the world. “Out of Egypt” God has called us all. My invitation is to join the sojourn “into” Egypt. Along with its ancient witness, its current hospitality, beauty, and rich culture is truly awesome. Traveling with church friends, sharing this experience, and learning more about God’s presence everywhere in history will be a transforming experience. And with me, a lot of fun!    DETAILS: Trip departs on February 5, 2026 and returns on February 15, 2026 PRICING: $3,290.00 per person based on double occupancy - land-only cost Single room supplement - $790.00 PAYMENT PLAN:  $300.00 deposit per person with registration to secure space Balance due on or before October 8, 2025 REGISTRATION: Registering online? Click the "BOOK NOW" button and fill out the online form; you can pay by check or with a credit card (a nonrefundable 4% platform fee applies) Registering by mail? Please download and complete the registration form (both the personal information page and the terms and conditions page signed at the bottom) with a copy of your passport and a deposit of $300.00 per person made payable to Elias Tours and mailed to 4941 Chalden Ln NE, Marietta, GA 30066   FLIGHT SCHEDULE:  Group flight itinerary and pricing will be posted in March on this website.   * Flight times, flight numbers, equipment, gates, and seats are subject to change.

In February of 2025, we will travel together on a 10-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land.  Our journey will begin with the Galilee region to the places where much of Jesus’ ministry took place and will continue to Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem.  We will end our journey in Jerusalem where Jesus was arrested, crucified, and resurrected.  Along the way, we will see many Old Testament sites as well.   Our tour operator, Elias Nawaweih, is a Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem. He has curated a pilgrimage that will not only help us experience the land, its history, and its archaeology but will also introduce us to the “Living Stones” of the Holy Land.
