    The Experience

    Our 11-day spiritual Egypt tour reads the monuments through myth rather than checklists, including the story of Isis and Osiris, the goddess Hathor and chakra symbolism. You fly to Aswan for Philae, the temple of Isis, and the Unfinished Obelisk, then spend three nights on a deluxe Nile cruise past Kom Ombo and Edfu to Luxor.

    Two free days in Luxor leave room to rest, followed by Dendera and Abydos, a centre of the Osiris cult. Dendera is the home of Hathor, and Abydos a day most itineraries skip. Read about the Osiris temple at Abydos beforehand. The trip ends in Cairo with a long visit to the Great Pyramid, including its chamber, then the Egyptian Museum and Coptic Cairo.

    What Our Guests Say

    Voices From the Journey

    Real stories from travelers who trusted us with their journey through Egypt.

    "I'll be honest I almost canceled this trip after reading so many conflicting opinions online. From my very first email, Hamdy patiently answered every question without ever making me feel pressured to book. When we landed in Cairo, Magdy was already waiting outside arrivals, and within an hour I realized I'd spent weeks worrying for nothing. Looking back, what I'll remember most isn't just the pyramids, but how easy the entire journey felt."
