ANCIENT WISDOM, TIMELESS TRUTHS

Your journey to the sacred land of Egypt, begins by departing from your place of origin to the city of Cairo.

Recommendation: Consider arriving to Cairo a day ahead of the program (April 19th) to avoid any inconvenience such as delayed or cancelled flights, issues in Egypt or the layover country, etc.  We suggest you stay in the hotel included in the program, where we can help you with the reservations.  Let us know as well if you want to stay longer before or after the program is over.

Important: In addition to all the spiritual practices, we’ll guide you to commune with ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses through Shamanic Journeying and Breathwork.  In this way, you can connect with your mythological nature, awaken your gifts from previous lifetimes, and embody the powers these deities represent for you. We’ll also prepare our mind, body and spirit with Chi Kung practices in the mornings.

Today is a celebration day as you have arrived at the Cairo International Airport!  Our English-speaking representative will meet you to assist you to retrieve your luggage, to obtain your visa, and transport you to our hotel, which could be the Helnan Dream Hotel or the Movenpick 6 of October. 

After welcoming you and meeting our awesome guide, we’ll toast to create an unforgettable journey of Self-remembrance supported by our traveling family and all the assistance we’ll meet along the way. 

After resting in your comfortable room, we will gather at 6 pm for our “welcoming dinner” ant to receive guidance and directions to be prepared the next day. 

Included: Dinner.  We spend the night in: Cairo.

After breakfast we’ll learn more about this ancient Egyptian culture by visiting one of the largest, most modern, and most renowned museums in the entire world.  The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM,) also known as the “Egypt’s New Wonder,” hosts about 100,000 ancient artifacts, about 5,000 pieces from the tomb of the famous King Tut Ankh Amon, as well as an impressive statue of Ramses II.  We’re so pleased to finally visit this long-awaited and truly historic treasure trove, more than 20 years in the making.  The GEM has been officially opened to the public in its totality, as of November 4^th, 2025.

Next, we’ll visit the Papyrus Institute to learn 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 buy affordable, unique pieces.

Spiritual Practice: We’ll commune with the Neteru (the most powerful creation of Neter, the almighty) in the museum in preparation to better understand the history of this great ancient civilization.

Included: Breakfast and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Cairo.

This morning, we admire 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’ll visit the Bent Pyramid, the second pyramid built by Sneferu. It stands as one of the most enigmatic and significant architectural experiment with its unusual shape and as a legacy for the building of future pyramids. 

In Saqqara we will visit the Serapeum.  This is one of the most fascinating sites built at the time of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (18th dynasty) consisting of an underground complex of 24 tombs and burial chambers dedicated – as some believe – to the worship of the Apis bull, whose chief God was Ptah. This sacred animal was assimilated to Osiris and became the immortal God Osiris-Api who later became Serapis by the ancient Greeks.

Next, we’ll admire the Step Pyramid of King Zoser (Djoser) from the 3rd dynasty.  The complex consists of the Step Pyramid, the House of the North, the House of the South, the Serdab, the Heb Sed Court, the South Tomb, Temple T, and the Northern Mortuary Temple. Here, we’ll visit his Southern Tomb, which has been recently reopened after completing renovation works.

We’ll also 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 of communication, growth, and speaking one’s higher personal truth as it corresponds to the Throat chacra.  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.

Included: Breakfast and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Cairo.

Today we’ll 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 to offer an “Andean gratitude despacho.” We finish our ceremonial day with dinner at a Nubian house where we’ll also have a “fire ceremony” to release our despacho to the sacred fire, as a vehicle of transformation.  We’ll stay either at the Isis Island or Tolip Hotel in Aswan.

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. 

Spiritual Practice:  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. We’ll also give our offering to the sacred fire while witnessing the smoke carrying our prayers to the heavens and fortifying our union with Mother Earth through the ashes.

Included: Breakfast and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Aswan.

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 were 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. 

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’ll check in our 5* cruise ship and after lunch, we’ll visit the colorful Nubian village along the Nile River, where we can buy spices, incense, pottery, and much more. We’ll also experience an exciting camel ride along the village. We’ll have dinner at a local Nubian restaurant. 

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. 

Included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Cruise ship.

After breakfast, we’ll 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. 

Spiritual Practice: The sacred Temple of Isis is a source of love and an opening of the Heart chakra. 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.

After lunch, 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.

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.

This morning we’ll visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best preserved of all the historical sites. This temple was dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed sky God, considered the protector of the pharaohs.  A library of ancient esoteric knowledge was once archived here before it was moved to Alexandria. We’ll explore the remarkable Edfu Building Texts with the mysteries of Zep Tepi, known as the time of the “beginning of everything.”  Here we are reminded of our origin as beautiful beings of light.

Spiritual Practice:  Edfu, associated with the Sacral chakra, is a place of ancient esoteric knowledge and learning.  Horus represents the union of spirit and matter. As a hawk he represents the part of us that can fly above our earthly experience and the limitations of time and space. If allowed, we would sit in silence to do a meditation to the God Horus asking his assistance to uncover our natural gifts given to us before time.

At sunset, we visit the famous Luxor Temple built by Amenhotep III and completed by Tutankhamun and Horemheb and then added to by Rameses II.  Here we can appreciate the remaining famous granite obelisk built by Ramses II, while the other one is in Paris.  Luxor was the capital of Egypt from the 12^th dynasty. 

Spiritual Practice:  Luxor Temple, often referred to as the Temple of Man, is associated with the Solar Plexus chakra, which is the center for strengthening personal power, control, and ego.   Within the center of this temple, we open our solar plexus as the driving force for transformation and the recipient of messages to help us shape our purpose.

Included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Cruise ship.

We’ll check out from the cruise ship and travel to Abydos. Abydos Temple, one of the most amazing sites in Egypt, is the cult center of the God Osiris (God of the underworld) who was the brother/husband of Isis and the father of Horus. It was built by Seti I and his son Ramses II in honor of Osiris, considered the founder of the Egyptian civilization. Osiris, Isis, and Horus were offered the highest place of worship in Egypt as they represent the divine Triad of Abydos. Over the centuries pilgrims came to Abydos offering pots to ask for healing and blessings from the beloved Osiris.

Abydos also holds the remains of the Osirian Temple where there are Flower of Life symbols painted on the inside of one of the monoliths. The Flower of Life, the most important symbol of sacred geometry, contains a type of Akashic Record of all living things connecting the life force that runs through all sentient beings.

Next, we’ll visit the Temple of Hathor in Dendera. Hathor is the Goddess of heaven, love, and joy and wife of the celestial God Horus and the Solar God Ra, as well as the mythological mother of their earthly regents, the pharaohs. Here we can also admire the Osirian mysteries contained in the Resurrection Chamber where the revival of Osiris from the dead is performed by Isis. We’ll also visit a replica of the Zodiac of Dendera (the original is displayed at the Louvre in Paris) located on the ceiling of a chapel in the Temple of Hathor, where the mysteries of the resurrection of the god Osiris were celebrated. We stay in Luxor at Hotel Sonesta St. George.

Spiritual Practice:  Abydos and Dendera Temples were considered universities of higher learning, ancient Stargates and the place of healing, transformation, and rebirth, holding the activation of the Heart chacra. The ancient Egyptians believed that intelligence and will were situated in the heart, and when the heart is open, our spiritual selves will be revealed. Our hearts will connect with the magical energies still alive in these temples.

Included: Breakfast, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Luxor

Today we’ll visit the Valley of the Kings in the West bank of Luxor.  This is a necropolis of 63 tombs used to house the bodies and belongings of many pharaohs from Thutmose I to Ramesses XI. The tomb of Tutankhamun is the most famous as it was found intact. Pharaoh Ramses II (The Great) was also buried here. 

Next, we visit the Temple of famous Queen Hatshepsut, the fifth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty.  She was the first woman to take the title King of Upper and Lower Egypt. This controversial ruler was the daughter of Thutmose I and wife of her half-brother Thutmose II who died young.  Consequently, the throne went to his infant son, Thutmose III.  However, Hatshepsut assumed the title and full powers of a pharaoh herself, becoming co-ruler of Egypt with Thutmose III.  We will also visit an Alabaster Factory.

Our last visit is to the Colossi of Memnon, two 60 ft. statues representing Amenhotep III. The statues depicting the seated king were carved from single blocks of sandstone.  They were built not only as guardians for the pharaoh’s mortuary complex (which once stood behind them,) but also, through a kind of sympathetic magic, to allow the king to inhabit them and receive strength and sustenance from the symbolic imagery.

Spiritual Practice: The Valley of the Kings is the entrance of the underworld, a forbidden place of the past where the inner chambers of the death rites are not to be seen by human eyes. This is a walk of transmutation – we started when passing through the veil into the Holy of Holies – of entering the sacred threshold of resurrection.

Optional: Take an aerial view of beautiful Luxor’s West Bank and most of the ancient monuments of Thebes from aboard a “hot air balloon.” This adventure begins at 4 am, before sunrise, and it is approximately $120.

Included: Breakfast, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Luxor

Early this morning, we’ll visit Karnak Temple, the biggest temple, and the most important place of worship in all Egypt. Karnak was dedicated to the grandiose holy family, a trinity of gods: Amon, Mut and Khonsu, later replaced by Osiris, Isis, and Horus.  It was said the ancient ones built these huge columns – that seem to reach the stars – with special stones. The purpose was to collect and store the energies of the daily sacred singing and chanting done at dawn, while the priests and priestess walked down the processional path to the Holy of Holies.

 Within Karnak Temple, we’ll also visit the small Temple of Ptah, a very ancient God who was revered as the divine architect of heaven and earth and represented the creative fire. Next is located the Sanctuary of Sekhmet, Petah’s consort and one of the most ancient deities said to be born from the breath of Ra. She is represented with a Lioness head in a woman’s body, wearing a sun disk over her head. Ancient Egypt revered several feline goddesses sharing a common connection to the strength and majesty of the lioness.

This will be a PRIVATE VISIT allowing us to commune with this Goddess of unmatched power, grace and divine fury, as she was highly revered as the warrior Goddess, a fierce protector of pharaohs, a Goddess of healing. At Karnak her statues stood in solemn guardianship, where sacred rites were performed to appease her fiery nature and invoke her healing grace to bestow the delicate balance of creation and destruction. 

We’ll also visit the Seven Osiris Doors in the Chapel of Shepenwepet and Amundiris. These seven doors, all boxed within one another, were believed to be an exit for the soul to leave this mortal earth. To end our visit, we’ll connect with a small chamber called “The Holy of Holies” which is the heart and the most sacred spot in all of Egypt since on this pedestal sat a statue of God Amon-Ra, Egypt’s God of Gods. We’ll travel to Hurghada by the Red Sea.

Spiritual Practice: The temple of Karnak describes the process of creation of the manifest universe, the descent of spirit into matter using the Golden Blueprint of Creation. As we are guided by the creator God Ptah to merge with Goddess Sekhmet, we journey to embody the principles of creation and rebirth. This is the moment to activate even deeper our Solar Plexus chacra as Sekhmet represents power, magical potential, and “healing the warrior.”  Sekhmet will guide us to merge with her complex nature as both a destroyer and a healer triggering within us our dual nature from where we can bring balance between divine power, destruction, and the restoration of harmony.

Included: Breakfast, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Hurghada.   

As we’re close to returning home, it’s important to take the time to rest and integrate this journey of Self-remembrance through a transformative exploration of the wisdom and secrets of ancient Egypt. We will stay in Hurghada, a beach resort city that serves as the largest city and capital of the Red Sea Riviera. 

Spanning over 40 km of pristine coastline, Hurghada City has year-round sunshine, incredibly beautiful coral reefs and turquoise waters and exciting attractions in a laid back, relaxed atmosphere. This place is renowned for scuba diving in its modern Sekalla district, while El Dahar, old town, is home to traditional Egyptian coffee shops and souks (marketplace.)

Hurghada is an auspicious place to give yourself permission to transform the old you in the one to experience peace, mindfulness, relaxation, and tranquility with a luxurious and healing experience.

Spiritual Practice: Through reflection, meditation, journaling, breathwork, and any process anyone would like to share, we will support each other to integrate and record the discoveries and insights of all we’ve learned and what is still to unfold.

Included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Hurghada.

This morning can be a private time to continue resting or to visit a beautiful beach as a group. We can decide in the moment. After a relaxed lunch, we will return to Cairo.

Included: Breakfast, and lunch. 
We spend the night in: Cairo.

This morning, we will 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, 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 Stela erected between the front legs of the Great Sphinx. This epigraphic stela is made of pink granite stone and features carved scenes and hieroglyphic texts depicting the dream of young Pharaoh Thutmose IV, where the Sphinx appeared and offered him the throne of ancient Egypt if he would only free it from the sand that had covered its body.

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.

Tonight, we have a PRIVATE VISIT to the Great Pyramid, also called The Pyramid of King Cheops. This is the largest pyramid in Egypt and the only survivor of the seven wonders of the ancient world. We’ll spend two hours exploring and connecting with the ancient energies of the King’s and the Queen’s chambers. This visit will culminate our journey of self-remembrance as an earthly and cosmic beings!

On our last day as a group, we visit the Alabaster Mosque which was built between 1830 and 1857 under the order of Muhammed Ali Pasha (Egyptian ruler) in honor of his son, who died young. Perched on the summit of the Saladin Citadel, the Mosque of Muhammed Ali is one of the landmark attractions in Cairo, and it stands proudly above the city, visible from most directions.

This immense temple was built according to Ottoman style, and the influence of Istanbul’s New Mosque on its architecture can easily be seen. While it is mainly built from limestone, the lower story is covered with alabaster. Inside the mosque, the different rooms are intricately decorated with the careful geometrical patterns of Islamic art. The courtyard holds a brass clock tower – which never worked – gifted to Muhammed Ali by the French King Louis Philippe in 1845, in exchange for taking one of the obelisks of Ramses II from Luxor Temple.

After lunch we’ll visit the famous Coptic Cairo known as the fortress of Christianity (until Islamic rule) where the Holy Family visited and stayed. This is one of the most historic and beautiful spots in the heart of old Cairo, with some buildings going back to the 6th century BC. During dinner we’ll share our journey and realizations before we bring the trip to a final circle.

Spiritual Practice: In Coptic Cairo, we’ll prepare to enter the sacred by going to the ancient seat of 3 major religions: Muslim, Jewish and, Christian – laid on top of Ancient Egyptian religion.  

Included: Breakfast, and dinner. 
We spend the night in: Cairo.

Enjoy a restful morning and a succulent breakfast in preparation to depart for the airport according to your scheduled flight. Other arrangements will be made for those staying longer. 

Mariscela and Theodore are deeply grateful for the unique presence and personal contribution of every participant, who gave their best to make this journey a success. Thank you for honoring the heritage of our ancestors, filled with wisdom, powerful sites, traditions, ceremonies, and profound medicine. We know all the sacred places we visited embraced us in the energy of “Self-remembrance,” as an aspect of us who walked the same land in ancestral times was remembered. 

Knowing that many new friendships have been born and some soul reunions took place as well, we will continue in communication, supporting each other in our path of consciously spreading the New Light on Earth!

Included: Breakfast.
