Days 1 & 2 – Friday-Saturday, November 7-8: Flight from U.S. to Egypt, Hotel in Cairo
Our day of departure finally came. God brought together a total of 25 for this “Granddaddy” tour of Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. Using a few different airlines (and re-scheduled flights from canceled ones), it is only a miracle from God that we all made it to Cairo, a city of about 22 million people (the entire population of Egypt is 110 million).
We arrived at the Cairo Airport where we went through the customary Passport & Visa procedures. Our Meryland Tours agent, Yady, helped us through the process. We also met Dr. Moses, our Egyptologist/guide for our time here in Egypt. We enjoyed dinner together at the airport hotel (the Meridian… very nice). We are all looking forward to this trip of a lifetime that begins with an early 7 a.m. flight to Luxor (about 480 miles south).

“We are so thankful to God for the safe arrival of everyone for this “Granddaddy” trip to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. We arrived in Cairo this afternoon/evening. We are all looking forward to a wonderful trip with many biblical connections!”
Day 3 – Sunday, November 9: Monday, November 10: Morning Flight to Luxor, Valley of Kings, Temples of Medinet Habu, Hatshepsut, Luxor, Felucca Boat Ride on Nile River, Overnight Luxor
