GOSPEL ON THE NILE
SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 3, 2025
Throughout the unique "Gospel on the Nile" tour, you will not only explore the ancient Egyptian gospel but also strengthen your faith. Delve into the past as we uncover parallels to the beliefs of Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses, sought by the first Pharaoh. By immersing yourself in the ancient concepts, seeing, feeling, and touching them, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the divine restoration of the gospel through Joseph Smith. Discover the remarkable depiction of these sacred principles, significant to Latter-day Saints, on ancient temple walls and papyrus scrolls. This is a life-changing, faith-building experience you won’t want to miss.

THE BUS EXPERIENCE
HOW IT WORKS
Though both educators will be together in sharing their knowledge at the sites we visit, each bus will have a designated educator while we are traveling from one place to the next. You will pick which bus & educator you would like to be with when booking, and you will stay with your bus throughout the trip!
*This does not affect our cruising experience at all, where everyone will be together and get to hear from both educators.

When on the tour it was great! The educators are top notch, the itinerary is packed full of incredible sights. Our accommodations are always amazing. The pre-trip zoom is also very informative and a good way to meet the educator, other guests and ask questions.
