WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS  PROFOUND SOUL JOURNEY

contact us
 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. ​
