Departure by private jet from Cairo to the desert oasis of Siwa.
What makes Siwa so special is the following story: The Macedonian king Alexander traveled to the oasis of Siwa to consult the oracle living there. The oracle confirmed him not only as the legitimate Pharaoh of Egypt, but also as the divine son of Zeus-Ammon (a connection between Greek and Egyptian mythology). Thus, Alexander the Great was legitimized in the eyes of the Egyptians. They eventually accepted him as a savior rather than just another foreign conqueror.
For four nights, we immerse ourselves in the magic of Siwa, staying at Ard el Ahlam – The Land of Dreams, a comfortable retreat camp lovingly led by an inspiring woman. Here, our shared journey unfolds with yoga, meditation, bodywork, singing circles, and a special concert, creating a deep sense of connection and renewal.
We will also explore the treasures of Siwa: the Temple of the Oracle, the old town with its handicrafts and the ancient fortress ruins, the hot springs, swimming in the world-famous salt lakes. A desert safari will take us into the silence of the sands, where meditation and a Blue Lotus ceremony allow us to absorb the profound energy of this sacred landscape.
13.11.
Return flight by private jet to Cairo.
From there, we continue with a domestic flight to Luxor.
Thanks to our local connections, we have arranged an exclusive military private jet for our group. The alternative would be a 9-hour drive through the desert with numerous checkpoints, luggage inspections, and long stretches of dusty roads – an experience we prefer to spare you.
There is also an overnight train from Cairo to Luxor, but it is noisy, often delayed, and not very clean. This is why we have chosen domestic flights: while Egypt is a beautiful country, it can also be challenging, and our goal is to make your journey as smooth and comfortable as possible, minimizing unnecessary strain on the body.
After a long day of travel, we arrive in Luxor and check in to our private luxury sailing boat, the Blue Lotus Dahabeya.
Evening program: dinner and meditation.
