Holy Land & Jordan & Egypt
Biblical Pilgrimage
From Mount Sinai to Jerusalem — The Full Biblical Journey
Pilgrimage Overview
This extended pilgrimage traces the great arc of salvation history across three countries: Egypt, Jordan, and the Holy Land. Beginning in Egypt with the legacy of the Exodus — the Nile, the pyramids, and the sacred monastery of St. Catherine at the foot of Mount Sinai — the journey moves through Jordan to visit Petra, Mount Nebo, and the Jordan River before entering the Holy Land.
In Israel, pilgrims walk the Gospel narrative from Galilee to Jerusalem, celebrating Mass at the sites of Christ’s birth, ministry, Passion, and Resurrection. This is one of the most comprehensive pilgrimages available — a journey that spans millennia of faith and encounters the living roots of Judaism, Christianity, and the entire biblical story.
