Day 1:

Arrival in Cairo, and transfer to your hotel for dinner and a rejuvenating sleep that prepares you for your tour of a lifetime; the Wonders of Ancient Egypt.

Day 2:

Revel in the stair steps to heaven on your early morning tour to Saqqara and the Step Pyramid. We visit the museum of Imhotep, the father of knowledge.

After a delicious lunch we continue to Dahshur, where you follow your inner guidance as you connect with the energy of this ancient edifice. You are free to walk around the Bent Pyramid and also to climb in to the inner chambers of the Red Pyramid to meditate.

Day 3:

Today you will step onto the Giza Plateau and feel your soul align with the master portals of light that link the Pyramids of Giza with every energy site on this world. Enter the Great Pyramid and merge your destiny of the eternal now with the timeless heritage of wisdom that awaits you. One of your most important missions for this journey activates in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid.  You will have a 2 hour private group meditation time included in the Great Pyramid.

This very personal experience aligns your journey with the master expansion of your soul lineage. The radiance of your elevated presence amplifies even further as you stand within the aura of the Sphinx.

Enjoy the local cuisine before visiting an aromatherapy shop for a very special lecture with a local shaman aromatherapist.
