Phase One
Al Masar Touristic Development Company spearheads a comprehensive vision to revitalize and develop the Holy Family Trail in Egypt, transforming it into a global destination that blends historical authenticity, contemporary experiences, and sustainable development. The company believes that heritage preservation goes beyond mere conservation; it extends to revitalizing that heritage and sharing it with new generations and the entire world.
Discover the Journey: We invite you to explore the sacred sites, experience the living heritage, and uncover an extraordinary story that began over two thousand years ago—a story whose legacy remains vibrant in the heart of Egypt to this day.

Over 30 documented holy sites: These represent key stops along the Holy Family’s journey through Egypt—testaments to a story preserved by memory, safeguarded by the Church, and embraced by the land of Egypt across generations.
Hundreds of kilometers (over 3,500 km round-trip): Spanning the historic journey that connects cities, villages, valleys, mountains, and holy sites from northern to southern Egypt.
Over 2,000 years: A span of living memory and heritage during which the Church, monasteries, and local communities have preserved the legacy associated with the journey.
10 holy sites: Representing the first phase of the development plan adopted by Al Masar Touristic Development Company, as part of its vision to revitalize and develop the Holy Family Trail in Egypt.
Ten living stations across Egypt where, according to Coptic tradition, the Holy Family rested on their flight. Each is a working place of prayer today — churches, monasteries, a sacred tree, and a holy spring still drawing pilgrims.
