Biblical Egypt — Land of Exodus and Faith
Egypt — “Blessed be Egypt, My country, My people” (Isaiah 19:25) — stands as the only nation so honored in Scripture, mentioned more than six hundred times and second only to Palastine. A land of shelter, refuge and revelation, where prophecy, deliverance, and divine purpose converge.
Follow the Exodus from the Nile to Sinai across Egypt’s timeless landscape. In Cairo, stand among pyramids that framed the stories of Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, and walk through the Land of Goshen, where archaeology and Scripture illuminate Genesis and Exodus.
Trace the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt — a journey that sanctified its deserts, villages, and ancient churches, weaving the nation’s story into salvation history. From Luxor and Aswan to the wilderness of Sinai and the ancient monastery atop Mount Horeb, each step reveals the meeting of faith, history, and living heritage.
Holy Kemet offers weekly departures and tailor-made itineraries, combining scholarship with refined hospitality. Every journey deepens understanding and renews the spirit — an elegant passage through the land forever blessed.
