MAIN ATTRACTIONS sphinxThe Sphinx is one of Egypt's most famous and iconic landmarks and has fascinated people for centuries. The Sphinx is a massive structure, measuring over 240 feet in length and standing over 66 feet tall. It is made of limestone and has been carved out of a single piece of rock. The Sphinx is thought to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre in the 26th century BC and was intended to serve as a guardian of his pyramid. However, the exact purpose of the Sphinx is still a subject of debate among scholars and historians. The face of the Sphinx is believed to be that of Pharaoh Khafre, although this is still a matter of debate. The Sphinx's body is that of a lion, considered a symbol of strength and power in ancient Egypt. The Sphinx has been the subject of many legends and stories. One of the most famous is the story of Oedipus, who correctly answered the Sphinx's riddle and saved the city of Thebes. Another legend tells of Napoleon Bonaparte shooting off the Sphinx's nose during the French campaign in Egypt. Today, the Sphinx is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Egypt, attracting millions of visitors annually. It is a symbol of Egypt and its rich history and is an essential part of any trip to the country. Explore the mystery of the Sphinx, learn about its history and significance, and view it at sunrise for a breathtaking experience. |
EXPLORE THE GIZA PLATEUThe Giza plateau, located on the western outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, is home to some of the world's most famous ancient monuments, including the Great Sphinx and the three towering pyramids of Giza: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Believed to have been constructed over 4,500 years ago during the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, the pyramids served as grand tombs for pharaohs and their consorts, while the Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, is thought to have been built as a protective symbol. The Giza plateau is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Egypt, drawing millions of visitors each year to marvel at the awe-inspiring architecture and learn about ancient Egypt's rich history and culture. |
BE THE INITIATE AT SAKKARASakkara, where initiates, royals, and priests gathered in a non-royal burial and cult ceremony complex. It dates back over 3,000 years, well into Ptolemaic and Roman times. Sakkara is an Egyptian village in the Giza Governance, situated 19mi south of modern-day Cairo, home to the oldest complete stone complex in human history, the famous Step pyramid of Djoser, built during the Third Dynasty. Another sixteen Egyptian kings built pyramids at Sakkara, which are in various states of preservation. |
Sacred sun festival at abu simbel templeThe Abu Simbel temple is an ancient temple complex located in Nubia, Egypt, close to the southern border with Sudan. Built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, the temple is renowned for its impressive architecture and monumental sculptures. The temple complex consists of two temples, the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the smaller Temple of Hathor, as well as several other smaller buildings. The Great Temple is the most impressive of the two, with four colossal statues of Ramesses II sitting at the entrance, each measuring 20 meters in height. The temple's interior is equally stunning, with intricate carvings and hieroglyphics adorning the walls. One of the most unique features of the Abu Simbel temple is its orientation. The temple was explicitly built so that twice a year, on February 22 and October 22, the sun's rays would penetrate the inner sanctuary and illuminate the statue of the deity seated inside. This event, known as the "Sun Festival," draws large crowds of visitors worldwide. Overall, the Abu Simbel temple is a remarkable testament to ancient Egypt's architectural and artistic achievements and is a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and ancient civilizations. |
Philae temple complexThe Philae temple complex is island-based in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt. Until the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, the temple complex located on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt, these rapids and the surrounding area have flooded since the initial construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902. The temple complex was dismantled and moved to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. The hieroglyphic reliefs of the temple complex are being studied and published by the Philae Temple Text Project of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna (Institute OREA). |

HATSHEPSUT TEMPLeHatshepsut's legacy, though frequently debated, dominated regarding the extent of whether her reign challenged or upheld the patriarchy. On the one hand, Hatshepsut was an innovator. She managed to rule as regent for a son who was not her own, defying the system which had previously only allowed direct mothers to rule on behalf of their biological sons. She used this regency to manufacture her female kingship. She constructed extensive temples to celebrate her reign, forcing the public to grow accustomed to seeing a woman in such an influential role and ensuring that the Egyptian public readily accepted her status when the oracle declared her king. She did so while feigning a lack of ambition and cunning, thus ensuring that she would not alienate potential supporters. |

For the past 22 years, I have practiced the healing arts as a Naturopathic Doctor, Medical Herbalist, Sound Healer, and Aromatherapist and regularly present as a Keynote Speaker on "psychoacoustics" in the medical community and internationally. Additionally, I have led workshops and explorations of Egyptian Mysteries for the past six years, along with my year-long mentorship program in Egyptian Shamanism. It brings me so much joy and fulfillment to facilitate a Sound Journey Through Ancient Egypt, where each temple was built with a specific healing frequency in mind that comes alive through our sacred intentions, and visiting these healing sites allows for the physical embodiment. |
