Thursday, May 09 (Day 02): Visit the Sphinx / Dahshour / Saqqara
We begin our day with an inspirational sunrise visit to the Giza Plateau. You will begin to feel the energy when you hear the soul-stirring voices of the city being called to prayer. Witness the sun rising directly between the magnificent paws of the Sphinx who sees all our incarnations on this planet and who keeps safe the Hall of Records where our stories are kept. The Sphinx sits in part of the necropolis of ancient Memphis, the seat of Power for the Pharaohs, a short distance from the Pyramids. Here we will anchor in the powerful energies of our trip.
After enjoying a delicious buffet breakfast, we will visit Dahshour Pyramids, closed for many, many years and just recently re-opened to visitors, home to the Red & Black pyramids.
In the afternoon we visit Saqqara, the most impressive of dozens of Old Kingdom Pyramids and tombs on the West Bank near Ancient Memphis. We will explore the Step Pyramid of Djoser and its temple of sound and healing. Affiliated with the energy center of the throat in the physical body, this sacred site urges you to harness your voice and communicate in alignment with your soul.
About 2630 B.C. Imhotep, architect to King Djoser (Dynasty III), masterminded the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. The world’s oldest freestanding stone structure, this Pyramid consists of six tiers atop a mastaba, or low, oblong tomb, faced with cut stone.
Next, we will visit a renowned perfumery and meet Aura and Aromatherapy master, Fouad. This trusted healer and dear friend has developed his spiritual abilities since childhood and learned from the Bedouins while Living in the Sinai Peninsula. Experience the Seven Sacred Chakra Oils of the Pharaohs- the traditional Egyptian essential oils – and take-home oils supplied to famous perfume houses in France. You will be transported to a world of sensory delight as you immerse yourself in the scents and culture of Egypt.

Friday, May 10 (Day 03): Cairo / Abu Simbel / Aswan Market
Early Morning, we depart Cairo on a short flight to beautiful Aswan, where the warmth of the energy and the people welcome you. The feel o f Aswan is special, and the history spectacular.
Upon arrival in Aswan, you will be transferred by luxury, air-conditioned bus to visit the Abu Simbel Temple, built by Ramses the Second, often considered the greatest of the Pharaohs. These huge, rock-cut Temples marked the southern boundary of the Egyptian Empire with Nubia at the peak of its power during the New Kingdom.
Feel the deep, powerful connection with the heart of the Earth and ground yourself in the deep wisdom available here.
We will enjoy a picnic lunch in Abu Simbel. Upon returning to Aswan, we will check into the Pyramisa Isis Island Aswan hotel. After dinner, we can visit vibrant and colorful Aswan Market.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Picnic Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at Pyramisa Isis Island Aswan
Saturday, May 11 (Day 04): Philae Temple / Felucca to the Nubian Village
This morning, we will embark on a short coach ride to the lakeshore, where we will transfer to motorboat and glide toward the magical island of Philae, home of the temple of Isis, Egypt’s Divine Mother.
We will immerse ourselves in meditation and bask in the healing energy of this sacred site.
Philae embodies a fusion of three great civilizations: Egyptian, Greek and Roman. Here you may connect with the great Mystical Mother, tap into the power of creation, and experience the magic of ancient Egypt.
Today, we check in to your deluxe private Dahabiya, a traditional sailboat used in Egypt since ancient times and the most authentic and intimate way to cruise the Nile.
In the afternoon, we will enjoy a relaxing sail aboard a Felucca to a Nubian Village, where we will see how the locals of the area live. Take a camel ride for the last leg of our short journey along the Nile.
Make magical memories during this delightful once-in-a-lifetime experience.
At the Nubian Village, we will enjoy their culture, tradition, daily life, homes, clothing, and hear their unique language.
As the afternoon approaches, we will set sail on the Dahabiya for the first time along the Nile, journeying back in time to experience the peaceful, farmland banks that have remained undeveloped for centuries.
Onboard dinner is an experience not to be missed. Each evening, you will savor a delicious meal, then gaze up at the stars overhead from the upper deck. Take this opportunity to journal or simply relax as we slowly sail the Nile, aligning ourselves with the cradle of civilization. Many guests have reported sleeping better than ever before, feeling as though they are being rocked to sleep by the gentle rhythms of the Nile.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at our Private Dahabiya
Sunday, May 12 (Day 05): Sailing to Kom Ombo Temple
Following breakfast, we will set sail towards Kom Ombo, the only dual temple in Egypt.
The Healing Temple of Kom Ombo is a glorious, picturesque ruin along the Banks of the Nile.
This dramatic temple, poised between the edge of the river and the encroaching desert sand, was dedicated to two gods – Sobek the crocodile god of strength, fortitude, fertility and rebirth, and Horus the Hawk-headed son of Isis and Osiris.
The duality of the light/dark, conscious/unconscious, yin/yang is apparent in this ancient site.
One of the most powerful places in Kom Ombo is the Seat of Neutrality, which is placed on the exact centerline between the parts of the temple that are dedicated to Horus / Sobek and light / dark. Here, we are invited to observe, learn from, and ultimately transcend the duality of experience. It is this powerful wisdom we are asked to use in healing ourselves and our world.
Once back aboard our floating home, we sail to Edfu.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at our Private Dahabiya
Monday, May 13 (Day 06): Edfu Temple
This morning we will visit Edfu Temple, dedicated to Horus, the Falcon God, the best-preserved temple of the Ancient World, and one of the most beautifully preserved in Egypt.
When you approach the well–preserved temple complex, you become aware of its enormous dimensions, with a vast courtyard, a forest of towering columns and high ceilings. The side chambers of the temple of Horus show the complexity of ancient rites; they include a healing chamber, a perfumery, and singers’ rooms.
One chamber, called the House of Life, stored all of the sacred texts used in seasonal and daily rituals. Horus is associated with higher vision and clarity. This temple offers a deeper exploration of the Divine Masculine and Feminine qualities as they relate to the story of the Eye of Horus. The eye of Horus greatly relates to his myth and power. The left eye represents the lunar, the moon, the intuitive, and the feminine energy. The right eye is connected to the solar, the masculine, the action, and the yang energy. Both are necessary for true, balanced power to exist.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at our Private Dahabiya
Tuesday, May 14 (Day 07): Full day Sailing to Esna
Today we fully enjoy sailing the Nile, a laid-back day where we watch the farmers and countryside of Egypt, as we cross Esna Lock. This is one of the favorite days of most of our guests, as it is a day of idyllic sailing from a time gone by.
During this day of rest and relaxation, Lisa will lead on-board workshops to help integrate the wisdom of Ancient Egypt in a way that elevates your reliable communication and alignment with your Soul.
Through esoteric insights and deeply grounded and practical techniques, you will gain skills to hear the whispers of your soul and call on the energies of the Universe to support making your soul’s deepest wishes bloom into reality.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at our Private Dahabiya
Wednesday, May 15 (Day 08): Full day Tour to the Valley of Kings / Luxor Temple
This morning after breakfast, we take a bus ride to explore the West Bank of ancient Thebes.
We will visit the Valley of the Kings, with its Royal Tombs, including Thutmoses III, Ramses Tomb.
We will also visit the mortuary Hatshepsut Temple, and on our way back we will stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, where they are now uncovering the Temple of Mut, which will be larger than Karnak Temple once it is excavated.
We will visit an alabaster shop for original crafts.
In the evening under the stars, we will visit the Temple of Luxor, the large Ancient Egyptian Temple complex located in the East Bank of the Nile River.
Here we’ll see that this temple is built like a human body – the outer layers represent the feet and as we move deeper into the temple, we make our way towards the head, where the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctuary, is located.
This is a wonderful place to focus on physical healing. As you walk through the body of this temple, notice how your body feels and re-member radiant health.
Awaken the parts of you that are sleeping, activate divinity codes, and amplify your inner light.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at our Private Dahabiya
Thursday, May 16 (Day 09): Dendara Temple / Karnak Temple
This morning, we will enjoy breakfast aboard our Dahabiya. Then we load a bus to journey to the exquisite Temple of Dendara, dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of abundance, love, Fertility, childbirth, joy, music dance, drunkenness and escorting souls through the afterlife.
The temple is built with a zodiac ceiling that recalls the origins of Egypt. In the temple’s crypt, interesting hieroglyphics look nearly alien in nature. The mysterious “light bulb” carvings raise theories about ancient energy sources.
On the rooftop where Hathor priests and priestesses gathered for their celebrations thousands of years ago, we connect with the power of our hearts in ceremony.
We will visit a custom Jewelry designer to create personalized cartouches for those who are interested.
Afternoon we will visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple. Karnak is the biggest temple complex in Egypt – and an incredibly special place. It is dedicated to the Gods Amun and Mut.
As you enter, you walk between a row of ram headed sphinxes, which originally connected Karnak with Luxor Temple two miles away. Take some time to visit the sacred Lake of Karnak, ask for purification and place your intention in your mind’s eye into the Lake.
Outside the main halls is a small chapel dedicated to Sekhmet, her consort Ptah and their son Nefertum.
Sekhmet is the lioness Goddess of compassion and courage. She is associated with feminine fire and healing through destruction. She is a renowned healer and known for magic and ability to hunt down an imbalance at its origin.
In a potent private initiation, we will honor the Goddess and receive the gift of courage to be our authentic selves.
We will have a meditation with Sekhmet and enjoy the shade under Hathor's sycamore tree, noted to be 2000 years old.
In the evening we will visit Luxor Market to enjoy the local flavors and sights.
INCLUDES: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Overnight at our Private Dahabiya
Friday, May 17 (Day 10): Luxor / Sharm
We will have our last breakfast aboard the Dahabiya, check out, and transfer to the Luxor Airport for a short flight to Sharm el Sheik via Cairo.
