I am deeply excited to present a rare and powerful opportunity to journey together to Egypt for a once-in-a-lifetime mystical adventure. This sacred pilgrimage is an invitation to walk among ancient temples, stand in the presence of timeless monuments, and immerse yourself fully in the living energy, culture, and wisdom of Egypt.
For this experience, two distinct retreat tours are being offered, each thoughtfully and intentionally curated. Each journey is designed to support deep enrichment, energetic healing, spiritual activation, and personal transformation, while honoring the profound history and mystery of the land.
Together, we will explore sacred sites, engage with the soul of Egyptian culture, and create space for reflection, awakening, and connection, both within yourself and with the ancient energies that have called seekers here for millennia.
I look forward to sharing this extraordinary journey with those who feel the call.

MOUNT SINAI PILGRIMAGE
SEPTEMBER 16-18, 2026
This pilgrimage is offered as an optional add-on for those who feel called to experience the sacred energy of Mount Sinai.
On September 16, we will take a 5 hour bus ride to the Mount Sinai region and check into our motel for a brief period of rest, as our ascent will begin around midnight. The hike to the summit takes approximately three hours and follows a steady incline. For those who prefer, there is an option to ride a camel for a portion of the journey for an additional fee.
We will reach the summit in the darkness and wait together for one of the most breathtaking sunrises imaginable. Mount Sinai is traditionally recognized as the place where Moses communed with God, and at sunrise we will take time for quiet reflection and meditation in this profoundly sacred space.
Following our time at the summit, we will begin the descent, which takes about two hours. At the base, we will enjoy breakfast and visit the Coptic church located at the entrance of the mountain.
Participants should come prepared with good closed-toe hiking shoes or sneakers and warm comfortable clothing for walking, as temperatures at the summit can be quite cold. Wool blankets are available for rent at the top for a small fee.
We will stay a night in the motel and then we will return to buy bus back to Cairo on the 18th.
This is a brief yet intense and deeply meaningful pilgrimage, offered to those who will already be in Cairo during these dates whether as an add-on to the 14-Day Tour or for those arriving early prior to the 10-Day Tour.
COST TO ADD ON MOUNT SINAI
$400
***Includes transportation, motel, meals, and Mount Sinai guide and access.
Extra days in hotels around the retreat dates will be your responsibility.
Cost to be paid in cash at the time of the excursion.

MEET OUR TOUR GUIDES
Sayed & Yousef Bdaway
Sayed Bdaway is a seventh-generation guardian of the Giza Plateau, born into a lineage entrusted with the sacred wisdom of the pyramids. Chosen by his grandfather at a young age, he was initiated into the energetic mysteries of the ancient sites and awakened early to his soul’s purpose. For over 30 years, Sayed has guided visitors through the pyramids, helping them connect with their healing energies and awaken their own inner light. He is joined by his son, Yousef, who continues this sacred lineage, sharing the timeless wisdom of Giza with those called to experience the Golden Light.
In October 2024, I brought a group of 22 people to Egypt on short notice, and from the moment we arrived, we were met with exceptional care and attention to every detail. The experience was seamless, deeply supported, and infused with intention from beginning to end. They are true keepers of Egypt’s ancient mysteries, carrying a profound and embodied understanding of the spiritual and healing energies that flow through these sacred sites. Every step of the journey reflected their reverence for the land and their devotion to those they guide.
Even if you’re unable to join us for the upcoming September journey, I wholeheartedly recommend connecting with them and taking part in one of the transformative tours they offer throughout the year.

Not every insurer offers CFAR, and even those that do require an extra premium. But for retreats (where prepaid deposits are often non-refundable), CFAR can be incredibly valuable.
-
Buy soon after you register for the retreat this is critical for CFAR eligibility.
-
Check the policy wording for “organized group travel,” “tours,” or “retreats” but most standard policies do cover these under trip cancellation/interruption.
-
Keep receipts and documentation especially for retreat deposits and non-refundable fees.
-
Ask the insurer directly if unsure most have 24/7 support.
