I particularly enjoyed going to Elisha’s Springs (2 Kings 2:19-22). It was a small area where people sat and took their shoes off to step into the fountain. The simplicity and serenity of the place were refreshing.

It is a small area to walk around, but I was most fascinated by Moses’ Well. North of the catholicon, there is preserved to this day the well at which Moses met the seven daughters of Jethro, as recorded in the scriptures (Exodus 2:15-22). The water is still used by the community, by means of a pump. Imagine standing where Moses encountered the next season of his destiny after he had fled Egypt.

I was welcomed with a refreshing drink called kakade, made from hibiscus flowers. The cool, tart beverage was a perfect respite from the heat. The boxes to hold the perfume bottles were beautifully crafted, adding to the charm of the experience. We even had the opportunity to mix our own scents, creating personalized perfumes to take home. It was a delightful blend of tradition and luxury, and a memorable part of our journey.

Just think about touching the Red Sea waters and standing on ground steeped in biblical history. Egypt, with its ancient marvels and deep historical importance, is eagerly waiting.
