During this era of definite transformation to a higher sense of being and to fulfill our cosmic mission, the ancient knowledge of our ancestors is crucial to remember our star origins. Our ancestral families from the stars and Mother Terra, created power places of magnificent civilizations such as sacred Egypt, which carry energetic portals to restore our long-forgotten memories of our Divine Essence.
This Spiritual pilgrimage to the land of Khem (ancient name for Egypt,) is a Self-discovery journey beyond time and space. It is a clear symbol of Unity and connection; of ritual and healing; of mysticism and remembrance that we are the Awaken Ancestors of the Future, the ones who can create the New Earth where our future generations are inspired to embrace their Divine potential!
The Egyptians did believe that death was not the end of life. Instead, it was the path to a new life, a new beginning. Knowing that we are eternal beings going through a process of transformation in every lifetime, we invite you to travel with us to Egypt. This trip promises to resurrect our conscious soul’s agreement to become the changes we want to experience, while focusing our hearts and minds in the expansion of Love and Peace on Earth!

Your journey to the sacred land of Egypt, begins by departing from your place of origin to the city of Cairo.
DAY 2 (Thursday, February 15, 2024) – ARRIVE TO CAIRO
Today you arrive to Cairo International Airport. Our English-speaking representative will meet you to assist with your visa and transport you to our hotel.

DAY 3 (Friday, February 16, 2024) – GRAND EGYPTIAN MUSEUM, GREAT PYRAMID PRIVATE VISIT
We’ll learn more about this amazing ancient Egyptian culture by visiting one of the largest, most modern, and most renowned museums in the entire world, expected to be completed in November of 2022. The Grand Egyptian Museum will host about 100,000 ancient artifacts, 4,549 from the tomb of the famous King Tut Ankh Amon, as well as an impressive statue of Ramses II If this museum is not opened yet, we’ll visit either the Egyptian Museum or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Next, we’ll visit the Papyrus Institute to learn more about the history of papyrus along with a demonstration on how this time-honored craft is made. Here we can view examples of unique Egyptian papyrus art, and can buy affordable, unique pieces.
This night, we have a PRIVATE VISIT to the Great Pyramid, also called The Pyramid of King Cheops. This is the largest pyramid of Egypt and the only survivor of the seven wonders of the world. We’ll spend two hours from 7 pm to 9 pm exploring and connecting with the ancient energies of the King’s and Queen’s chambers. This visit will initiate us into multi-dimensional worlds for the remainder of this journey!
Cavern where Holy Family stayed

This morning we return to visit and hear the magical history of the pyramids of King Cheops (Khufu,) Kefren (Chephren,) and Micerinus (Menkaure) from the IV dynasty. Next, we visit the area of The Great Sphinx, considered the most powerful vortex point on the planet as it contains the knowledge of our true cosmic origin. The present carved pharaoh head might have originally been the head of the Lioness Mehit, the protector. Moreover, Edgar Cayce reported the existence of the Halls of Amenti (Atlantean Hall of Records) under the left paw. We can also appreciate and connect with the Dream Stella. We’ll end our day by visiting a Jewelry Store.
Great Pyramids of Giza

The Great Sphinx
Spiritual Practice: A stronger activation of the Brow/Third Eye chakra – the soul star – is possible by connecting with the Great Sphinx. This sacred sanctuary is a pathway to accessing ancient knowledge and to see all things as they truly are with no questions or judgments. Here we open the gate of “time” from where we explore why the ancient Egyptian worldview is extremely important to understand the alignment of the ancient prophecies.
DAY 5 (Sunday, February 18, 2024) – DASHUR: RED & BENT PYRAMIDS, SAQQARA
This morning we visit the Dahshur Pyramids, some of Egypt’s best-preserved ones. First, we visit the Red Pyramid, also called the North Pyramid, built during the reign of pharaoh Sneferu from the 4th dynasty and father of King Cheops (Khufu.) Built from red limestones measuring about 33 ft in length, it is believed to be Egypt’s first successful attempt at building a smooth-sided pyramid.
Next, we visit the Bent Pyramid, the second pyramid built by Sneferu. It is known for its very unusual shape and design and for its legacy as other steppingstones for the building of future pyramids.
Bent Pyramid in Dashur

Step Pyramid in Saqqara
From here we travel to Memphis, the first capital of Egypt founded by King Meni (Menes,) who united upper and lower Egypt. Here we can see a colossal statue of Ramses II carved from limestone and an Alabaster Sphinx representing Queen Hatshepsut among other impressive pieces.
In Saqqara, part of the necropolis of the ancient Egypt city of Memphis, we will admire the Step Pyramid of King Zoser (Djoser) from the 3rd dynasty. Here we visit the Tomb of Ptahhotep ll, Chief Justice and Vizier of King Isesi from the 5th dynasty. This tomb is famous for its splendor and precision of its inscriptions and vivid colors. We end this journey in the Pyramid of King Teti from the 6th dynasty. His burial chamber contains the “Pyramid Texts”(religious texts) to guide the King towards resurrection and to join the Sun God Ra in the sky.
Spiritual Practice: In Saqqara we enter the portal to communication, growth, and speaking one’s higher personal truth as it corresponds to the Throat chakra. Saqqara is aligned with Thoth – the enlightened communicator, the holy scribe, and wisdom keeper. We’ll also commune with the High Priest King Zoser as the Ascended Master of miracles.
DAY 6 (Monday, February 19, 2024) – FLY TO ASWAN, FELUCCA SAIL, NILE SACRED RITUALS
Today we fly to Aswan, a serene Nile Valley destination located about 899 km south from Cairo. Aswan is also known for its Egyptian perfumes and oils from the pharaonic period. We will visit an Essential Oils Shop where we will learn how to use them for healing the chakra system and much more.
After lunch we enjoy a Felucca sail, which is a traditional wooden sailing boat used in the eastern Mediterranean, in Egypt, Sudan, and Iraq. We stop along the sacred Nile River to perform a “water purification ritual” and a sacred Andean offering during a fire ceremony. We check in our hotel, Isis Island or Tolip in Aswan.
Temple of Abydos
Included: Breakfast and dinner. We spend the night in: Aswan.
Temple of Hathor
Spiritual Practice: When visiting Aswan, many people experience what is described as “a new birth” as Aswan is considered the Root chakra where ancient Egyptians thought the source of the Nile River to be. We’ll honor the Rites of Water Cleanse in the sacred Nile during a purification ritual.
Uniting other ancient traditions we’ll create an Andean despacho as an offering to the land of Khem (ancient Egypt.) A despacho seals our connection with all beings, elements, spirits, and sacred places and brings us in right relationship, right ayni (harmonious act of giving and receiving) with Mother Earth.
DAY 7 (Tuesday, February 20, 2024) – ABU SIMBEL
After breakfast we go to Abu Simbel by bus. These magnificent Temples were commissioned by Pharaoh Ramses II. He chose this site because it was already sacred to Hathor, Goddess of motherhood, joy, and love. We visit The Great Temple built to honor Ramses himself and dedicated to the God Re-Horakhty. This temple was aligned to the East, allowing the sun to shine directly into the Holy of Holies to illuminate the statues of Ramesses and Amun. Only Ptah, the God of the Underworld, remains in darkness all year round.
Next, we visit the Small Temple built for Queen Nefertari, beloved wife of Ramses II. Usually, the wives’ statues never measured higher than the Pharaoh’s knees, but for the first time Nefertari’s statue was carved the same size as the image of the Pharaoh himself.
Temple of Ramses II
Included: Breakfast, lunch box and dinner. We spend the night in: Aswan.
Temple of Queen Nefertari
Due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and consequently the flooding of Lake Nasser, these sacred temples were at risk of being submerged in the Nile River. In a massive undertaking they were relocated to a plateau on the cliffs, placing them in the original orientation they held to each other and the sun.
Spiritual Practice: If allowed, we will go to the inner chamber – the Holy of Hollies – of the Temple of Ramses II
to embrace the veil of life of the ancient Kings of Egypt. This is done in honor of an ancient rite of passage.
DAY 8 (Wednesday, February 21, 2024) – PHILAE ISLAND: TEMPLE OF ISIS, NUBIAN VILLAGE
After breakfast, we check out from the hotel, and we embark to visit Philae Island. The grandeur of the Temple of Isis is where ancient Egyptians venerated Isis, Osiris and Horus and sought healing through prayer from the mystical Egyptian Goddess. One of the fundamental myths about Isis centered around her husband Osiris who was killed by his brother Set. Through her powers of “renewal and resurrection”- which are part of the feminine mysteries – she brought Osiris back to life so she could conceive their son Horus. The goddess Isis and the god Osiris are the holders of the ultimate mysteries and highest consciousness of the Universe.
Philae Island, like Abu Simbel, was also threatened to be inundated by the waters of the Aswan High Dam. The temples were dismantled, and each block carefully re-assembled in a similar orientation on Agilka since then renamed Philae. We will also visit a Nubian village where colorful shops are displayed along the streets. Later, we will experience an exciting camel ride. After this magnificent day, we check in our 5* cruise ship.
Temple of Isis
Included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We spend the night in: Cruise ship.
Camel Ride
Spiritual Practice: The sacred Temple of Isis is a source of love and an opening of the heart. Moreover, this temple offers a holy connection with the divine goddess’ energies, who can grant healing and rebirth and awaken our full potential by reconnecting us with all the magic we hold within. Here we’ll journey to meet the principles of mystery, magic, and the infinite resurrection of the soul.
DAY 9 (Thursday, February 22, 2024) – KOM OMBO: TEMPLE OF HORUS & SOBEK. SAIL TO EDFU
We sail to visit the dual Temple of Kom Ombo, one of the more unusual temples in Egypt since it honored two deities: the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus. Since both symbolize the duality of our own higher and lower natures, the ancient Egyptians separated their temple spaces within one temple.
Temple of Kom Ombo
Included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We spend the night in: Cruise ship.
Temple of Kom Ombo
The Northern portion of the temple, also called “Castle of the Falcon,” was dedicated mainly to Horus, God of the sun. The Southern portion, also called “House of the Crocodile,” was not just dedicated to Sobek, the God of fertility, but also to Hathor, the Goddess of love and joy, and Khonsu, the god of the moon. More than 300 crocodile mummies were found here and now reside in the nearby Crocodile Museum.
People made pilgrimages to this temple to be healed as Horus was also known as a doctor. On the back wall of the temple exists the very first known representations of precise surgical tools. We’ll continue sailing to Edfu.
Spiritual Practice: This temple is associated with the Sacral chakra. Kom Ombo is the embodiment of our higher and lower selves, the dark and the light, and of finding a harmonious union within ourselves. We’ll explore and incorporate how the ancient Egyptians viewed and worked with fear and chaos, as shown in the writings at the Temple of Kom Ombo.
DAY 10 (Sunday, March 26, 2023) – ABU SIMBEL
After breakfast we go to Abu Simbel by bus. These magnificent Temples were commissioned by Pharaoh Ramses II. He chose this site because it was already sacred to Hathor, Goddess of motherhood, joy, and love. Here we’ll visit The Great Temple built to honor Ramses himself and dedicated to the God Re-Horakhty. This temple was aligned to the East, allowing the sun to shine directly into the sanctuary of The Great Temple to illuminate the statues of Ramesses and Amun. Only Ptah, the God of the Underworld, remains in darkness all year round.
Next, we visit the Small Temple built for Queen Nefertari, beloved wife of Ramses II. Usually, the wives’ statues never measured higher than the Pharaoh’s knees, but for the first time Nefertari’s statues was carved the same size as the image of the Pharaoh himself.
Due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and consequently the flooding of Lake Nasser, these sacred temples were at risk of being submerged in the Nile River. In a massive undertaking they were relocated to a plateau on the cliffs, placing them in the original orientation they held to each other and the sun. We return to Aswan to visit an Egyptian perfumes and oils place from the pharaonic period. We finish our day returning to our cruise ship.
Temple of Ramses II
Included: Breakfast, lunch box, and dinner. We spend the night in: Cruise ship.
Temple of Queen Nefertari
Spiritual Practice: If possible, we will go to the inner chamber of the Temple of Ramses II to embrace the veil of life of the ancient Kings of Egypt. This is done in honor of an ancient Egyptian rite of passage.
DAY 11 (Monday, March 27, 2023) – PHILAE ISLAND: TEMPLE OF ISIS
After breakfast, we check out from the cruise ship, and we embark to visit Philae Island. The grandeur of the Temple of Isis is where ancient Egyptians venerated Isis, Osiris and Horus and sought healing through prayer from the mystical Egyptian Goddess. Built by Nectanebo, Isis Temple was later enlarged into a great temple by a series of Egyptian rulers and a Roman Emperor. Philae Island, like Abu Simbel, was also threatened to be inundated by the waters of the Aswan High Dam. The temples were dismantled, and each block carefully re- assembled in a similar orientation on Agilka since renamed Philae. Next, we’ll enjoy a Felucca sail, which is a traditional wooden sailing boat used in the eastern Mediterranean, in Egypt, Sudan, and Iraq. Moreover, we’ll visit a Nubian village, the House of Spices and experience an exciting camel ride. We couldn’t finish our journey along the sacred Nile River, without having a “water purification ritual.” We check in our hotel, Isis Island or Tolip in Aswan.
Temple of Isis
Included: Breakfast and dinner. We spend the night in: Aswan.
Felucca Sailing
Spiritual Practice: The Temple of Isis offers a sacred connection with the divine goddess energies, who can grant healing and awaken our full potential as we journey on the Nile. However, because it was moved from its original location, its resonance is off. We’ll perform the dance of Isis, which is a simple labyrinth walk done in group to help realign some of the off energy felt here.
We’ll honor the Rites of Water Cleanse in the Nile in a traditional rite of cleaning the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies called Tapiwai.
DAY 12 (Tuesday, March 28, 2023) – RETURN TO CAIRO: VISIT KHAN EL-KHALILI MARKET
After breakfast we take our flight to return to Cairo. Later today we visit the busy and colorful open-air Khan El-Khalili bazaar, filled with unique and exotic items from clothing, spices, perfumes, jewelry, sparkling silverware, gold artefacts and antiques, to stained-glass lamps, incense, and handmade accessories. We stay at the Hotel Movenpick 6 of October.

We visit Memphis, the first capital of Egypt after the unification. Here we can see a colossal statue of Ramses II carved from limestone. Originally, the statue was one of a pair. The second one was restored to its full height in 2018 and was transferred to its final resting place at the entrance of the Grand Egyptian Museum. While in Memphis we’ll also see the Alabaster Sphinx.
Last, we visit Saqqara, part of the necropolis of the ancient Egypt city of Memphis. Here we see the Step Pyramid of King Zoser (Djoser) from the 3rd dynasty. This is the first pyramid in Egypt constructed by Imhotep, an Egyptian architect, physician, astrologer, and Chief Minister to Zoser. We end our exploration in Saqqara by visiting the Pyramid of Teti. We finish our day by visiting a Carpet School. We stay at the Hotel Movenpick 6 of October. We gather for our Farewell Dinner as we return home tomorrow.
Bent Pyramid

Step Pyramid
Spiritual Practice: We’ll do a resonance meditation with the sacred bowl at a tone of F# signature of sounding, either at the Bent Pyramid or at the healing wall in Saqqara.
