Egypt Retreat
October 9-19
Have you ever imagined what it is like to sail up the Nile River? Have you wondered what it would be like to walk among countless sacred temples? This is an exclusive and unique opportunity for you to get first-hand experience on how it was like to sail the waters of the eternal river and to witness such a sacred & historic place. This is your private tour that is designed precisely to enjoy the magical places in Egypt. The trip is NOT a mainstream or commercial tour of Egypt, it is an authentic experience of traveling across the mystical and sacred land.
Throughout the retreat you will be served amazing traditional Egyptian food, freshly prepared and cooked with love; courtesy of the Egyptian people. You will dive deeper into the culture and the land of Egypt, visit hidden gems, harbor on isolated islands and meet different secluded tribes. You will witness amazing sunrises, magnificent sunsets, sail over blue waters, visit ancient sites, & practice yoga and meditation in a magical and eternal landscape. This is NOT just another touristic guided tour to Egypt, this is a life-changing experience. It’s a journey- a journey for your soul, body and mind to alleviate, relax, to be enlightened and to self-discover; where every step is an adventure and an authentic experience.
