Albawaba Published in Albawaba on 12 - 05 - 2017

Cairo - Nader Gerges, member of Egyptian committee to revive the 'Journey of the Holy Family', said that the first training session for tour guides on the program of the Journey of the Holy Family will start on Friday in cooperation with the Tour Guides Syndicate and Coptic Courses Syndicate. He said that the course will continue until May 22.
He praised the visit conducted by the Coptic Orthodox Church's Patriarch, Pope Tawadros to Queen Elizabeth in London, saying that he gave her the icon of the Journey of the Holy Family to Egypt, which will provide a positive image of Egypt for the tourism industry and for the program of the Journey of the Holy Family.
He added that both the Coptic and Catholic Church agreed on eight destination points of the itinerary of the Journey by the Holy Family during their stay in Egypt, saying that these points will be the destination stops of the tourist program, scheduled to be promoted during the coming period.
