Our Itinerary
Day 1:
Arrive in Luxor: our rep will meet you at the airport, assist you with your luggage, and check you into our private villa in Luxor. Our group of soul pilgrims will meet, unwind from the journey and enjoy a delicious dinner together.
Medinet Habu: We begin our quest with this most ancient and evocative temple. This was the ancient place of the Ogdoad, the eight original creator gods and goddesses of Egypt. The energy here is different to anywhere else. An ancient temple of Amun Ra and Amun Min, god of fertility, it was later dedicated to Ptah and Sekhmet, before being adopted as the site of the Mortuary Temple of Ramesis III. The colours in this temple are exquisite, and our group have special meditation access in private rooms.
Isis Temple: in this beautiful temple we honour Goddess Isis, the Great Mother Goddess, in a blessing ceremony for our journey, with drumming, chanting and prayers.
Luxor Temple at night: our group will enjoy an evening visit to Luxor Temple, illuminated under the starlight. This is the Heart of Luxor. Many footsteps have walked this temple, including Ramesis the Great, Tutankhamun and Queen Hatshepsut. We will meditate in the ascension room, the holy of holies, and offer prayers of peace.
Day 2:
Karnak Temple: we dedicate a whole day to Karnak, gateway to the mysteries, the largest temple complex in the world. The imposing hypostyle halls lead to the Altar of Amun, where the sun rises on the winter solstice. We will explore the many temples within this temple, including red temple of Hatshepsut, Goddess Opet, Khonsu the Moon God, the Seven Doors of Osiris and the Temple of Ptah and Sekhmet. Private Visit with Sekhmet is available on request.
We will also visit the sacred lake, the sacred Scarab, and many other wonders of this magnificent place, known as Ipet Sut, the Most Excellent of Places.
Day 3:
Denderah Temple of Hathor: we spend a whole day in this most beautiful temple dedicated to Hathor, the Goddess of Love. We enter through green gardens, into the courtyard, and the Mamisi which is the oldest part of the temple. The presence of Hathor permeates the great hypostyle hall, which is home to the famous rectangular zodiacs, and the stunning blue murals created under Greek rule of Egypt. Our guide is from Denderah, and he will show us all the sacred and important parts of the temple, including the underground crypts where the Denderah lightbulbs can be seen. We will go to the power places of Hathor, and the group will receive activations and blessings. We will visit the chamber of the resurrection of Osiris, the Denderah Zodiac, and the high roof where a panoramic view of the landscape can be seen. We will also explore the grounds, and see the swimming pool of Cleopatra, and the Nilometer.
Day 4:
Abydos Temple of Seti I: we spend a whole day exploring this exquisite temple which is one of the best preserved in all of Egypt. Abydos was a pilgrimage place of Osiris since ancient times. We give honour to the Father of Egypt, and connect to the Djed Pillar, the backbone of Osiris. This temple has many amazing colours and reliefs, and seven chambers dedicated to Horus, Isis, Osiris, Ra Horakhty, Ptah, Amun and Seti. Our group will meditate in the Osiris room, and connect to the powerful energies of this temple. Here you can receive DNA upgrades, and spiritual cleansing in the place of infinite waters.
Osirion: our group will also see the Osirion, most ancient temple to Osiris, which is sunken into the ground behind the main temple. This is where the Head of Osiris was believed to have been found. Here you can see the Flower of Life on one of the columns. The sacred waters of the Osireion spring up from underground rivers connected to the Nile. The design of the temple has a connection to the Temple of the Sphinx.
Transfer to Bahariya Desert – Bedouin camp under the stars
Day 5:
The White Desert: The White Desert is a wonder of nature that goes on as far as the eye can see, with an infinite array of sculpted shapes that seem to be from another planet. This is an ancient seabed that is approximately 50 million years old. The calcite limestone formations stand as a reminder of the ancient shallow sea.
Desert Safari – Our experienced desert guide will show you many amazing hidden places, as you enjoy the experience of a lifetime, driving in jeeps through the magnificent desert landscape, which is so peaceful and serene.
Camping in the Desert: in a most sacred high energy place we make our camp, and enjoy Bedouin dinner under the stars. We will create crystal mandalas, send healing prayers and bless our intentions. With drumming, singing and stargazing, you will be transported to another time.
Day 6:
Crystal Mountain
Continuation of desert safari through the Crysal Mountain where the entire landscape is crystalline
Desert Safari – The Black Desert: The Black Desert is an unearthly landscape of black volcanic mounds made up of basalt, iron quartzite, iron sandstone, and volcanic dolerite. This is an ancient volcanic region, and fossilised trees have been found here showing the existence of ancient forests. We will drive through this mysterious landscape on our jeep desert safari.
Transfer to Minya – overnight in Minya
Day 7:
Tomb of Akhenaten, Nefertiti and their Chilren: we will go inside the tomb of this enigmatic family and connect to the energy of the solar rays, and the genius visionary who is known as the Sun King. We will connect to the majesty that is Nefertiti, her exquisite beauty, her deeply mysterious story, and the story of her children.
Transfer to Cairo: we stay the night in our Giza guesthouse by the pyramids
Day 8:
Transfer to Siwa: driving through the land of Egypt we focus on our pilgrimage, and what it means to be a pilgrim. With adventurous spirits we marvel at the land known as Om El Donya, Mother of the World.
Siwa Oasis: we arrive at the place that Alexander the Great journeyed through the Great Sand Sea to reach.
Day 9:
Oracle Temple of Amun: we visit this ancient Temple of Amun perched on top of the great hill of Siwa. Our group will meditate in the place of the Oracle herself, and connect to the immensely powerful energy of this sacred spot. Here you may glimpse eternity. Any questions you have on your Soul Quest will be answered here, in the place of limitless knowing.
Siwa Salt Lakes: you will have the opportunity to float in the brilliant blue lakes of saltwater that are intensely cleansing like an electric shock. You can set your intention to be completely cleansed of any negativity in your aura.
Eye of Cleopatra: we will enjoy lunch in this beautiful place, and you will have the chance to bathe and anoint yourself in the pool known as the Eye of Cleopatra.
Hot Spring: experience one of the famous thermal springs of Siwa. The water comes from deep underground and is rich with minerals.
Day 10:
Shali Fortress & Siwa Old Town: we will explore the town full of bustling markets, arts and crafts; see the old style architecture and historic honeycomb-like city fortress. Enjoy the coffee shops, local restaurants, and imbibe the unique energy of this place which is like no other.
Salt Cave Meditation: this salt cave therapy is unique to Siwa, as the salt comes from the oasis salt lakes and has the vibration of the deep ancient ocean which is incredibly healing and meditative.
Day 11:
Transfer to Cairo
We stay the night in our Giza guesthouse in the energy of the pyramid fields.
Day 12:
Giza Pyramid of Giza: early in the morning, our group will enjoy private access in the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The sublime energy here is the culmination of our pilgrimage, as we meditate in the Giza gateway, and give thanks for our journey.
