The Route of the Exodus & the Ark of the Covenant

Explore the Biblical lands of Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Jordan with Joel Richardson and Eli Shukron

EMBARK ON AN ANCIENT JOURNEY

Join Joel Richardson on the core tour visiting Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel. After more than 15 visits to Saudi Arabia, there is no other teacher as adept in the richness of the Exodus route through Saudi Arabia and into the Arabah, Petra, Kadesh Barnea, and Jordan deserts than Joel Richardson.  Once you reach Israel, you will be joined by Eli Shukron, who is Israel’s top archaeologist and will be with you during your time here.  From there, you will follow the routes of the original Israelites through Gilgal, Jericho, Kiriath-Jearim, the standing stone of Joshua at Shechem, Ashkelon, Jerusalem, the City of David, and so much more.  The main trip is 10 days of touring and you have the option to add additional days to visit the Galilee and other areas of Jesus’ ministry.  Joel will 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. You will visit the strongest archeological 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, you will stay in the ancient town of Selah – also known as Petra – and Ammon to see Baal Peor, Shittim, and Mount Nebo where Moses saw The Promised Land. In Arabia, know that you are one of the few early entrants to see this special, hidden place. You will spend time visiting the archeological aspects of Midian – the Land of Jethro and his son-in-law, Moses. You’ll see the massive, Split Rock of Horeb, where Moses struck the boulder and God miraculously provided water from within the rock. You’ll personally 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. You’ll discover for yourself why Jewish and Bedouin traditions have continued for centuries to refer to this peak as “The Mountain of Moses.” You’ll also visit the stone altar under Elijah’s Cave, as well as 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! In light of what can take place politically, your itinerary has been crafted into two sections: You may choose to 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! After the main tour of Saudi, Jordan, and Israel, you may opt for a couple more days to add on the areas of Jesus’ ministry in the Galilee accompanied by Eli Shukron. You may choose precisely how much time you wish to spend on this magnificent, Biblical journey!

The main tour starts at $5,899 per person, sharing a double room (we match roommates) or $6,999 for a single person with a private room.  The optional extension to the Sea of Galilee with Eli Shukron is priced at an additional $989 per person double and $1,279 per person single.  We have an air program out of New York/JFK if you are originating in the USA or you can obtain your own airfare and meet us in Amman. The economy class air add-on is $1,490 and business class is $4,960 per person. The tour also ends in Amman (both the main tour and the extension).

For those participants who live in the USA, your program automatically includes an insurance policy 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 can also increase the coverage so that your entire expenditure is protected or you may upgrade your policy to a “Cancel-for-Any-Reason” policy.
