Day 1 - Egyptian Museum /Opening Circle / Pyramids Of Giza

Breakfast at hotel
We will be guided in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo by the tremendous knowledge of our incredible Egyptologist, Hassan, and then have some time to ourselves to wander the rich collection and absorb the spiritual legacy of priests and priestesses, kings and queens, scribes, and healers. The museum holds an astounding collection of Egyptian antiquities and exhibits over 120,000 artifacts, including the stunning treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun.
         
Lunch
Take time to rest and relax at the hotel before our group gathers for an early evening cup of tea which will allow us to set our personal intentions and to bond as a group.
         
Welcome Dinner, our first of many meals together.
We will enter the heart of the Great Pyramid for a private 2-hour visit into the King's chamber. In this sacred sound healing chamber, together we will co-create a ceremony of initiation and fulfillment of sacred intention, opening ourselves to the Great Mystery.  Sound Healing/private activation inside the Khufu pyramid at sunset.      
         
Day 2 - Sphinx / Saqqara / Serapeum  

This mysterious half-lion, half-human sentinel has dutifully guarded the Giza Plateau for thousands of years and is said by some to guard the Akashic Records and perhaps even the original entrance to the Great Pyramid.. We will connect with the Nilotic Meridian that reaches down from here to the land of the Sacred White Lions in Timbavati, South Africa. In the early morning silence, we will enjoy stunning views of the pyramids on the Giza Plateau before the chaos of the daily crowds.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will travel by luxury bus to Saqqara to visit the oldest pyramid, the Step Pyramid of Djoser and its temple of sound and healing. Saqqara was designed by Imhotep, the high priest, vizier and architect to King Djoser during the third dynasty. This magnificent site includes Old Kingdom tombs whose walls are covered with the Pyramid Texts, the earliest known hieroglyphs.
We will also visit the Serapeum, a mysterious underground burial area with many massive granite sarcophagi, believed to be the burial place of Apis bulls, sacred bulls in the Age of Taurus that were incarnations of the deity Ptah and also associated with Osiris.
         
Lunch
       
     
Group Dinner
         
Day 3 - Luxor / Karnak Temple / Luxor Temple                   
                 
After breakfast , we depart for Cairo airport for our one-hour flight to Luxor. We will then check into our 5 star hotel in Luxor. We will then visit the magnificent Karnak Temple, entering along the Avenue of Sphinxes, ram-headed sphinxes that originally connected Karnak with Luxor Temple two miles away. The largest temple complex in the world, Karnak is dedicated to the ram-headed god Amun and his consort, the vulture goddess Mut, an emanation of divine mother energy. We will pay a very special visit to the chapel of Sekhmet, to honor and connect with the powerful lion-headed goddess who is a fierce warrior and profound healer. Her image has remained undisturbed on this site for over 3,000 years!

After dinner we pay a night visit to the Temple of Luxor, called the Temple of Man and explore its sacred geometry, which corresponds to the human body. The outer temples represent the feet and as we journey inwards, we reach the inner temple that represents the head. Tuning into the energies of the temple with our higher senses can allow us to access personal healing, physical and spiritual, and the divine codes embodied in the plan of the temple.

Day 4 - Acamar Cruise Boat / Dendera / Abydos Temples          
         
After breakfast we check into our home and floating temple the ACAMAR - 5 star Cruise Boat for the next 4 nights, 5 days full board.
         

Travel to Dendera, an exquisite temple dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of music, dance, love, and joy. Here you will see some of the most vividly colored and well-preserved frescoes in all of Egypt, a mysterious subterranean crypt, astrological reliefs and more. The special energies of this temple will help us connect to your inner dance with joy and open hearts.

Next, we continue north to Abydos, a temple dedicated to Osiris, said to be where his head was buried when he was dismembered by his brother Set. This temple holds the most exquisite bas relief carvings in all of Egypt and was made famous in the 1900s by Om Sety. Just behind this temple is the mysterious Osirion, a megalithic and likely much more ancient temple, which is an important power vortex said to connect on ley lines to other power places on the planet.

Dinner on the cruise boat.     

   
Day 5 - Luxor / Valley of the Kings / Valley of the Kings & Queens / Nefertari Tomb / Sail to Esna    
         
Optional morning meditation and yoga
 
A short early-morning bus ride is timed for us to arrive at sunrise to Deir el Bahari, the funerary temple of the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut, whose reign marked a time of peace and prosperity. We will connect with the energies of Hathor, as well as of Mut, the vulture goddess of purification. Nearby is the Necropolis of Thebes, where we visit the Valley of the Queens and enjoy a special visit to Queen Nefertari's tomb, regarded as one of the most beautiful and elaborate tombs.
 
We will then proceed to the famed Valley of Kings, where we will visit three tombs of pharaohs. Each has a different energy and character, and all are inscribed in hieroglyphs with sacred transformative texts, including the books of knowing light and dark, the book of the underworld, the book of caverns, and naming and taming the hours of the night.
 
On the way back, we stop at the giant statues of the Colossi of Memnon and visit a shop of traditional alabaster carving artisans.    

Lunch on board our cruise boat, then sail to Esna, cross Esna lock, overnight at Edfu.
 
Day 6 -   Sail to Kom Ombo / Aswan  / Edfu Temple / Crocodile Museum 

Optional morning meditation and yoga
 

Sail to Edfu through the countryside.
         
After breakfast, a horse carriage ride to visit Temple of Horus in Edfu, one of the most beautifully preserved temples in Egypt, an imposing structure with a vast courtyard leading to towering carved columns and painted ceilings. The side chambers include a healing chamber, a temple with ancient aromatherapy recipes, and singers' rooms. Horus, the hawk-headed son of Isis and Osiris, can endow you with higher vision. Horus' left eye represents the lunar, intuitive, feminine energy. His right eye is connected to the solar, masculine energy of outer action. In the synergy of this temple, we can balance Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies within ourselves, and thus contribute to balance in the outer world. In the words of Hermes Trismegistus, also known as the Egyptian god of wisdom and writing, Thoth: “As within, so without.” (Overnight on Ac; Breakfast, lunch, dinner).

We then sail to Kom Ombo, the only temple in Egypt dedicated to two gods. Poised between the edge of the river and the encroaching desert sand, this dramatic temple is dedicated to two Neters, or deities—Sobek, the crocodile god of strength, fortitude, fertility and rebirth, and Horus, the hawk-headed son of Isis and Osiris. This is a place to reconcile the duality of light and dark. One of the temple's most powerful places is the Seat of Neutrality, situated on the exact centerline between the halves of the temple dedicated to Horus/Sobek and Light/Dark. In ancient times, powerful initiations took place here involving Crocodiles, testing initiates to overcome fear/shadow.

overnight at Aswan.
 
Day 7 -   Abu Simbel / Nubian Village      
         
Optional morning meditation and yoga
         
Early morning drive by bus through the sacred desert road to visit The Great Temple of Abu Simbel.  It is among the most awe-inspiring monuments of Egypt and was cut into the living rock by King Ramesses II.  The temple is most well known for the four imposing seated colossal statues that dominate its façade.

lunch on board

Free evening in Aswan to explore the Nubian village, a colorful Bohemian village of the Nubian people.

Day 8 - Aswan / Philae - Temple of Isis / Cairo

 

Optional morning meditation and yoga      

  

Sail to Aswan through the countryside of Upper Egypt,  then take a small boat to visit the goddess Isis at her beautiful island Temple at Philae. Here we will connect to our own Divine Feminine energy of Mother Isis' pure love and healing. Hassan will then guide us through the temple where some say that Jesus, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene studied the Isis Mysteries. In a feat of modern engineering, this temple complex was dismantled and rebuilt on a different island in the 1960s to save it from being flooded by the Aswan Dam.
