Egyptian Spiritual Alchemy Experience - 2024

Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you will be met and assisted by our representative who will help you during passport control, luggage area, and customs formalities. 

Then you will be transferred to your hotel in Cairo on an air-conditioned vehicle for check-in. 

Embark on a journey to the ancient temple of Saqqara aligned with the god Thoth, the enlightened communicator and holy scribe known for his wisdom-keeping abilities. This temple corresponds to the Throat Chakra, considered as the seat of our spirit and power of words. After a sumptuous breakfast, your guide will transfer you to this sacred place where we will learn about alchemy techniques used in ancient Egypt, rituals performed to harness forces of nature and how to treat our bodies alchemically. By starting our journey here, we will gain a deeper understanding of the explicit practices that were once followed in Memphis. Additionally, Saqqara is also associated with Osiris, lord of the hidden world and master of sacred knowledge. This intuitive center is associated with the gift of teaching, communication, and cultural knowledge. -Then we move northward — arriving at Giza —The Sphinx is 'the soul star' pathway to accessing ancient knowledge through meditation, whereby seeing all things through an expanded place of awareness. Therefore, it is possible to see all things as they truly are with no questions or judgments.

We will then move over to the Great Pyramid. Many people feel a sense that a doorway between dimensions is opening as they connect with the energies here. 

In the Great Pyramid, we will learn about the most important principles of astronomy and how the ancient Egyptians tracked the astronomical cycles of stars, planets, the moon; their understanding of the procession of the equinoxes, advanced mathematics, and astronomy.    

We will delve into the most important features of the astronomical cycles and how they are linked to achieving a balance between “the feminine and the masculine.”

Then we will visit the papyrus museums where you will see how the ancient Egyptians made the papyrus which is still in use today.

After breakfast transfer from your hotel in Cairo for your flight to Aswan. 

Aswan, an important city situated along the Nile, holds many secrets of alchemy and spirituality that have long been associated with Egypt. The Nile is considered the lifeblood and soul of Egypt, a fact that we will come to understand during our daily trips in Aswan. Visitors often describe their experience as a "new birth," corresponding to the Root chakra.

Our exploration will reveal how the ancients transformed the Nile into a vital pulsating artery that nourished all forms of life in Egypt in a chemically and spiritually balanced manner. Aswan's main god is Khnum, the ram-headed god who represents creation and sits at the potter's wheel and forms individuals out of clay.

We will take a ferry-boat to the Isis temple on Philae Island and experience its beautiful feminine energy. The temple also represents the raw energy of creation. Afterwards, we will visit Elephantine temple where it is said that god Khnum bought into being the whole universe by the process of fermentation. Then we transfer to our Nile Cruise for check-in and have lunch onboard.

This temple is dedicated to two gods, Sobek — the crocodile god which represents the Lower Self and Ra Horakhty who represents Horus — the Higher Self. Here we will balance the body and soul, studying the psychological and pathological impact.                

One of the most important negative concerns for ancient Egyptians was to rid themselves of fear and anxiety, so in the depths of this temple, we will discover the struggle that a devotee went through to join the ranks in sacred sciences as a priest in the temple. If you are ready for this experience you will detach from the struggles of higher and lower self. You will let go of fear and negativity as we see the struggle between the higher and lower selves depicted on the temple walls.
