If you would like to have the opportunity to experience a truly valuable spiritual awakening, this is the pilgrimage for you!

One of the most exciting aspects of the trip will be the private visits to the Great Pyramid (Cheops) & Philae Temple, where you will have time to deeply connect to yourselve.

In addition to the visits to the temples, pyramids and museums, you will have the opportunity for a number of days to travel on a luxury boat down the River Nile that is reserved for our group only.  The lands along the Nile are rich with plant and bird life; rural farmers work the land by hand and it is absolutely lovely to travel along these shores. With our boat, we will be able to pull into little islands and visit places that few people ever see.

Early Breakfast in the Hotel, we will take you for a tour to Abydos which has a special place in the sacred landscape of ancient Egypt, as it was believed to be the place where Osiris was buried. Thus, Abydos was an important cult center for Osiris. A number of temples dedicated to Osiris, all of which were located in one area, were built prior to the reign of Seti.

The Temple of Seti, however, was built on new ground to the south of the said temples.

Continue to Dendera to explore, The Dendera Temple Complex covers an area of 40,000 square meters ( sq. ft.), and is surrounded by a large mudbrick wall. Within this enclosure are various structures, including the Temple of the Birth of Isis, a Roman mammisi (attributed either to the reign of Trajan or Nero), a sanatorium, and a sacred lake. It was made famous by a carving that many believe depicts an electrical lightbulb.

Nevertheless, the most impressive part of the temple complex is undoubtedly the Temple of Hathor. The Temple of Hathor was largely constructed during the Late Ptolemaic period, specifically during the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. Later additions were made during the Roman period. Although built by a dynasty of rulers who were not native Egyptians themselves, the design of this temple has been found to be in accordance to that of other classical Egyptian temples, with the exception of the front of the hypostyle hall, which, according to an inscription above the entrance, was constructed by the Emperor Tiberius.
