MS Soleil

Overview

Join Denton Bible Church on a journey of a lifetime as we embark on an Egyptian adventure February 26 – March 7, 2026

We will start in Cairo and explore the Great Pyramids of Giza and the extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum. We will also trace the Biblical narrative that dates back thousands of years from Old Testament to New Testament scripture. Following the embarkation of the exclusive MS Soleil River Cruise ship, we will enjoy insider access to the Valley of the Kings under the dark sky of night. Our cruise will take us up the Nile as we explore ancient temples, monuments, and islands. Before heading home, you have the option of continuing on an extension to the foot of Mount Sinai! All land accommodations are five star.

And of course, our time together will be filled with powerful Biblical teaching from Charles Stolfus, who will bring rich devotions and biblical insights.

This is a bucket list adventure you don’t want to miss!
