The Church of the Nativity, in the city of Bethlehem, where Jesus Christ was born.

Or on Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments.

In the Jordan River, John the Baptist baptized Jesus, and in Jerusalem arose the three sacred sites for the three main monotheistic religions: the Jewish Western Wall, the Christian Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Islamic Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Today, centuries later, Mandala offers you:

Customized pilgrimage trips, so that your parish group can pay homage to the events that changed world history.

Pilgrimage trips through the Middle East

Although we can take you wherever you want, these are the most recommended sacred destinations to visit key significant points, those where some of the most decisive events in history took place.

Israel

We’re talking about the country of worldwide reference in terms of spiritual and religious heritage. And there are plenty of reasons for that. In Nazareth, Galilee, Jesus Christ lived for most of his life, and it’s where he performed his miracles. The Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem is the path he walked before his crucifixion. In the Tomb of the Patriarchs rest biblical figures such as Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob, and on the Mount of Olives is the Garden of Gethsemane. And that’s just the beginning…

Turkey

Led by the House of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus, the Ottoman country is a must-visit destination for pilgrimage trips also for places like Mount Ararat, where Noah’s Ark landed after the flood; the Cave of the Seven Sleepers in Ephesus, the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse from the New Testament, or the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in its capital, Istanbul.

Jordan

Mount Nebo, from where Moses first saw the Promised Land; Bethany, where John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan River; Mukawir, where Herod imprisoned and executed the saint; the mosaics of Madaba with the Holy Land or the Christian settlements of Petra also make Jordan a very interesting religious destination.

Egypt

The Egyptian country is also an essential destination for pilgrimage trips. Mount Sinai where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments; the Monastery of Saint Catherine, from where he contemplated the burning bush; the Hanging Church of Cairo, its Al-Azhar Mosque or the Monastery of Saint Paul the Hermit top the list of sacred places.

And much, much more.

The foundations of the main modern religions are still there, ready for any religious group that wants to pay homage to them on a personalized trip.

And we take care of that personalization

So that your group enjoys a comfortable trip, allowing them to focus on what’s truly important: experiencing firsthand the sacred places that changed world history centuries ago.
