TOUR OVERVIEW:
Sinai in the Sanctuary
The Holy Land of Israel plus the Exodus Route via Jordan and Mount Sinai in Arabia
EMBARK ON AN ANCIENT JOURNEY
Join Dr. Putnam in his quest to uncover the spiritual gems of the evidence of the steps of the Lord Jesus Christ in Israel, coupled with the second greatest story ever to be told – the Exodus.
Spend time in Galilee, Jerusalem, and the surrounding areas best known as the locales where Christ Jesus did his many teachings. Visit the strongest archaeological evidence that upholds The Word in Israel, including the Second Temple, Pool of Siloam, Temple Zero, Hezekiah’s Tunnel, and so much more! In Jordan, stay in the ancient town of Madaba and see Mount Nebo where Moses saw The Promised Land, then visit the place where Jesus Himself was baptized. In Arabia, prepare to be one of the few early entrants to see this special, hidden place. Spend time visiting the archaeological aspects of Midian – the Land of Jethro and his son-in-law Moses. See the Split Rock of Horeb, where Moses struck the boulder and God miraculously provided water from within the rock. Survey Jabal al-Lawz (Mount Sinai), with its charred and blackened summit, ascertained to be the original Mount Sinai upon which Yahweh descended in fire. Discover for yourself why Jewish and Bedouin traditions have continued for centuries to refer to this peak as “The Mountain of Moses.” Visit the stone altar under Elijah’s Cave plus the Golden Calf Altar, the small oasis of Elim, where the miracle of the quail took place, the Nuweiba Crossing site where Yahweh split the Red Sea, and so much more!
“The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary.” Psalm 68:17
This is more than a tour, it is designed to be an expedition of encounters with the living God who revealed Himself first on Mount Sinai, but now, through Mount Calvary and the power of the empty tomb, lives, moves, and has His being in our hearts and lives. Our aim is that this encounter:
• Will encourage a prophetic personal visitation of God’s purpose for every participant.
• Will foster a connection between God’s dealings with his people in the past, with his far-reaching objectives in our present — academically, historically, and archeologically.
• Will challenge leaders of the Last Day to lead as we humble ourselves, “take up our crosses and follow Him”.
In light of what can take place politically, we have crafted the itinerary into two sections. You can book both sections without worrying about a potential loss of finances should Israel become difficult for you to visit. Israel can be removed from, or added to, the agenda without that piece of your journey becoming nonrefundable. Our hope and prayers are always for the peace of Israel! If you decide to take only the Israel and Jordan portion, your travel dates would be November 5 (from the US or Australia) to November 13, 2025. If you choose to take only the Saudi Arabia portion, your travel dates would be November 1 (from the US or Australia return on November 8, 2025), or, of course, November 1-13, 2025, if you can join us for the entire journey! Almost everything works utilizing Qatar Air.
All prices are quoted in USD with a current Australian exchange amount supplied (at time of publishing, so subject to change).
For those participants who live in North America, our program includes an insurance policy automatically that provides $1,000 in trip cancellation insurance. This policy will cover any penalties of up to $1,000 per person and provides basic insurance for delay, injury, and other unforeseen circumstances. You will be provided the opportunity to increase the coverage so that your entire expenditure is protected or upgrade your policy to a “Cancel for Any Reason” policy.
Camping at the Base of the Blackened-top of Mount Sinai!
