Overview

Begin an intimate and soul-nourishing 10-day spiritual pilgrimage through Egypt’s sacred landscapes. Begin your journey in Cairo, standing before the timeless pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx. Then, fly to Luxor—the ancient City of Light—where you’ll explore both the East and West Banks, including the majestic Karnak and Hatshepsut Temples, before visiting Dendera and Abydos, the twin sanctuaries of Hathor and Osiris. From there, set sail aboard a private Dahabiya—an elegant wind-powered vessel—for a tranquil voyage along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan. Conclude your journey at the luminous temples of Abu Simbel before returning to Cairo.

Spiritual Experience

This sacred itinerary follows the “Temple Path of Ascension,” where each site mirrors the awakening of the chakras—from the root at Abydos to the crown at Philae. Traveling by Dahabiya allows time to integrate, meditate, and receive the ancient transmissions of the Nile in stillness and grace. Each day blends guided visits with moments of reflection, creating a bridge between ancient teachings and modern consciousness.

Accommodations & Comfort

Enjoy a blend of luxury and authenticity: stay in handpicked 5★ hotels in Cairo and Luxor, and spend four nights aboard an exclusive Dahabiya sailboat. With spacious cabins, elegant dining, and personalized service, this is a deeply private and restorative experience. Meals are freshly prepared onboard using local ingredients, and the gentle pace of travel ensures both spiritual depth and physical relaxation.
