Visit Israel, Egypt, Jordan

Our 2008 adventure will take place in three countries:

July 17-20 — 14th Annual International Teachers’ Seminar, Egypt. Our theme:

EGYPT IN THE BIBLE
10 hours of classes and workshops, worship with Cairo Christians, cruise on Nile, visit pyramids, and more! After Sunday church we will drive through the Sinai and into Israel through the desert and Dead Sea area, arriving for our 8 pm dinner with the Biblical Study Tour group in Tiberias (Galilee). All are welcome to this seminar, which will include much more teaching and discussion than the Biblical Study Tour in Israel.

For most nationalities, visa can be issued on arrival at airport for a stay up to one week.

􀁺 July 20-26 — Biblical Study Tour in Israel (2 days in Galilee, 4 days in Jerusalem).

WALKING WHERE JESUS WALKED
Includes most or all of the following: prayer in Garden of Gethsemane, visit to Herodion (recently discovered tomb of Herod the Great), Bethlehem, Mount of Olives, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Pool of Siloam, Warren’s Shaft, Western Wall Tunnel, Temple Mount, Holy Sepulchre, Israel Museum/Dead Sea Scrolls, Armageddon, Dan, Maritime Caesarea, Hazor, Beth Shean, Qumran/Dead Sea Caves, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Sea of Galilee, Bethsaida, Masada, and more! Watch the Bible come alive! Good for couples, children old enough to appreciate Bible places, friends–anybody!

􀁺 July 26-28 (optional) — go east across the River Jordan into the nation of Jordan.

THE VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE
Ein Gedi in Judean Desert, and Jordan: Mount Nebo, Petra. Stunning views and great fellowship. Afterwards you can return to Israel (if you are staying on or have a late flight), or fly out of Amman (Jordan’s capital).

Your faith will be strengthened. The fellowship will be invigorating. And your heart will fill with memories to last you the rest of your life. What better family Christmas present than a trip to the Holy Land? Prices are in $US. Usually the Biblical Study Tour takes place in May or November. For 2008 we chose summer so that families would be able to attend, as well as those whose jobs do not permit them to take time off except in the summer. We will all stay in the same hotels for Cairo, Tiberias, and Jordan. A three-star option is available for Jerusalem only. (This hotel is not bad, and has an amazing view.) However, most of our reserved rooms are in the five star hotel. Single supplement is for those who prefer not to share a room. Prices include all meals, admissions, tours, tips, transport, airport transfers, border crossings, ITS travel from Cairo to Tiberias, etc. All you will need to bring with you is money for gifts.

Note: Jordanian visa must be acquired in advance.

Flights
Fly into Cairo for the Teachers’ Seminar, otherwise fly into Tel Aviv. Fly home from Tel Aviv, though if you are going to Jordan, Amman will probably be easier. (El Al and Continental have later flights.) Airfare not included. You may also wish to purchase travel insurance, and possibly foreign medical coverage if your policy does not include this.
