Days 1 & 2 – Saturday-Sunday, February 21-22: Depart U.S. / Arrival in Cairo
Our day of departure finally came. God brought together a total of 62 (unfortunately it was supposed to be 65, but three had medical issues and had to cancel) for this 11 Day biblical tour of Egypt. Besides those who signed up through BIMT, we welcome Pastor Trinity Opp and the Alexandria Covenant Church from MN as well as Nate Loper (Director of Canyon Ministries) and his group.
Using a few different airlines, we all made it to Cairo today (Sunday) except one (unfortunately her flight was delayed in the States and she missed her connection). Cairo is a city of about 22 million people, with the entire population of Egypt around 110 million.
Cairo
When we arrived at the Cairo Airport, we went through the customary Passport & Visa procedures. Our Meryland Tours agents, Yady and Mahab, helped us through the process as we arrived. We enjoyed dinner together at the airport hotel (the Meridian… very nice). We are all looking forward to this trip of biblical proportions that begins with a nine a.m. flight to Luxor tomorrow (about 480 miles south). We are blessed have Dr. Moses and Max, our Egyptologists/guides for our entire trip here in Egypt.
“Our day of departure finally came today! With excitement, we took various flights through Europe (and Turkey for some) that eventually ended with our arrival in Cairo. We all are looking forward to this biblical Egypt trip!”
Day 3 – Monday, February 23: Morning Flight to Luxor, East Bank of Nile River: Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple
