MANILA, Philippines - Immerse yourself in the richness of Biblical history and culture through an eye-opening exploration of the landmarks that tell each poignant story with Mediterranean Tour Operators’ (Meteor Philippines) “Coming to the Roots VI,” a 13-day Biblical tour through Jordan, Israel, and Egypt from April 12 to 24.

Coming to the Roots VI takes travelers through key places known for their historical background and religious stories, such as Petra, the rose-red city prepared by God for the Jewish people; Mt. Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised Land before he died; Ein Karem, the birthplace of St. John the Baptist; the Mount of Olives, where Jesus taught the “Our Father”; and Mt. Zion, the site housing the room where the Last Supper was held and the Tomb of King David.

Also, experience first-hand Biblically relevant landmarks such as, among others, Mt. of Beatitudes; Tabgha, the site where Jesus performed the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fish; the River of Jordan; the Church of the Nativity, the Grotto of the Nativity, the Altar of Christ’s Birth, and the Manger’s Square; the Church of Ascension, from where travelers can walk the Palm Sunday route down the hill to the Garden of Gethsemane; and St. Catherine monastery, the iconic site where God spoke to Moses. 

Coming to the Roots VI culminates with a full day in Cairo, which includes a stopover at the Egyptian museum where one can view relics, statues, and artifacts, such as jewelry owned by the pharaohs; a visit to the breathtaking Great Pyramids, the Sphinx of Giza, and finally capped by a dinner cruise along the Nile.
