A Mystical Journey to Egypt
with Ruth Underwood and Jane Bell
12th – 22nd December 2017 (10 nights)
We invite you to join us on a journey of transformation like no other – walking the Giza plateau at dawn, meditating in the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid, gently gliding over the waters under the early morning stars as we approach Philae for an initiation in the Temple of Isis…and sailing down the Nile watching life along it’s banks pass by as it has for centuries.
To visit Egypt is to sink into the ageless sands, to explore the ancient Egyptian myths as we visit each site and to surrender into the vast mystery of the ancients.
We begin our journey upon the Giza plateau, exploring the timeless mysteries of the Sphinx and Pyramids in meditation and initiation. After a visit to the Step Pyramid at Sakarra, we depart from Cairo and fly to the Nubian city of Aswan to board our private dahabia, The Afandina, a replica of the ancient sailing vessels of Egypt.
The Afandina, with our own staff and private chef, provides us with the comforts of home and space to process and integrate as we travel to the temples along the Nile. We visit Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Dendara, Abydos, Karnak, Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings whilst exploring the ancient mythology linked to these sites. We spend a total of seven nights upon this private floating temple, allowing us to deeply enjoy and integrate our journey. There will be ample time to explore the beautiful sites along the Nile both with the group and on our own.
In both Luxor and Aswan there is time to visit the colorful ancient markets and meet the locals. On our return to Cairo we have a private visit into the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid and a visit to the Cairo Museum and Khan Al Khalili market before our final dinner and departure for home.
