This exquisite journey is for those who hear a soul-calling to the mystical lands of Egypt. What makes this trip truly special? We are going to have privileged access/private visits to several powerful sites. We are together for a two-week journey, of which eight nights are going to be spent sailing on the River Nile on an elegant dahabeya, the Afandina, reserved exclusively for our group. This unique pilgrimage is also celestially aligned with solar and lunar events. We are going to witness Ra, the Solar God, as he lights the Holy of the Holies at the Temple of Abu Simbel. It is estimated that for 3200 years, the Sun Festival has celebrated this ancient event. Each of you are going to have intimate time with the honorable Sphinx, where we are holding our private opening ceremony at dawn. We are going to experience two heavenly hours with private access to the Temple of Isis on Philae Island, which holds a loving and nourishing frequency of the Divine Feminine. We also are going to experience two hours of private access in the Great Pyramid during the Full Moon at the close of our tour. This carefully curated and aligned Soul Journey is rich with Ancient Wisdom, Magic and Mystery…… We approach these temples with utmost reverence and allow you the spaciousness to have your OWN experience with the support of holistic integration. We will offer you meditation, ceremonies, sound healing and sacred storytelling where ancient mythology and teachings come alive with the help of sacred sound tools and instruments. Allow EGYPT be your teacher and the NETERU your guides. You will leave here with a special place in your heart for all things Egypt. Do you hear the Call? Tune into the sound and frequencies of your Heart.
We begin our Sacred Journey upon the Giza plateau where we explore the timeless mysteries of the Sphinx and Pyramids in meditation and initiation. In the afternoon we visit the wondrous temple complex of Sakkara where initiates used to receive their rites, and visit the recently opened Serapeum, an ancient site where legend tells that Ptah created the world. The following morning, we fly to Aswan where we will be transported to Abu Simbel for the night to prepare for our Sunrise Ceremony, where we bear witness to a sacred solar alignment at Abu Simbel Temple. Later that day, we will be chauffeured back to Aswan where we board our private sailboat, the Afandina, our home for most of the journey. The Afandina is a replica of an ancient Egyptian sailing vessel. This intimate 5-star vessel sleeps 18. With its own staff and private 5-star chef, The Afandina provides us with the comforts of home as we gracefully travel along the Nile from temple to temple.
On our first morning, we awaken upon our floating Temple and will prepare for a private initiatory visit to the exquisite Temple of Philae dedicated to the Goddess Isis. Upon our return, we sail to the healing Temple of Kom Ombo, the only temple dedicated to two Gods, Horus and Sobek (representing duality). The next day is a relaxing day (perfect for integration) as we sail all day toward Edfu where we will dock for the night. A visit to Edfu Temple of Horus, and then we sail on through the Esna locks and arrive at the beautiful city of Luxor. We will spend several nights docked in Luxor to take in the beauty and majesty of its ancient sites and temples including: Dendera, Abydos, Luxor Temple, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank. You will have the opportunity to take a hot air balloon ride up, up and away overlooking this sacred Egyptian landscape. There will be ample time to explore many sites along the Nile both with the group and or on your own. When we return to Cairo, our work culminates in a private Full Moon morning Ceremony and sound meditation in the Great Pyramid.
