76. Dreamy Yoga Retreat in Egypt with a Nile Cruise & Exploration of the Pharaohs’ Mysteries, February 1-8, 2024

Yoga Retreat Egypt

Egypt held a breathtaking yoga retreat for us, taking us on a journey through history and civilization. The Nile, a source of life for thousands of years, provided a backdrop of peace and serenity aboard our riverboat.

It is not easy to see through the fog of centuries. But if we look closely, we can uncover the secrets of Alexander the Great. We can take the leadership qualities of one of history’s most brilliant leaders and adapt them to the modern world. It is no coincidence, after all, that Alexander the Great influenced and inspired so many political and military leaders with his achievements.

If you ask me what I felt during these days, I will share some thoughts and a secret with you…

  • Whatever you seek, you summon with your thoughts and eventually meet…

  • When music awakens the senses…

  • When the soul wants, the mind finds a way…

  • When souls reunite…

  • A journey into a dream…

  • The stars shine and stand out…

  • I love searching for Angels and fairytales….

Board the fleet of Alexander the Great and observe your emotions…. I’ll tell you a secret: I meet them as often as I think of them.

We began in Aswan, with its beautiful river fjords and the rich scent of the Nubian culture. The route to Luxor featured seven ancient and imposing Egyptian temples, dedicated primarily to Emperors and Pharaohs. Our classes on the riverboat will remain unforgettable, as life on the banks of the Nile flowed by at a simple pace. One of the highlights of our trip was the hot air balloon ride in Luxor, overlooking the Nile, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. We then flew back to Cairo, where an impressive colonial palace-hotel awaited us to complete our practices in its magnificent garden.

Naturally, we couldn’t miss a visit to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Archaeological Museum with its precious treasures, and the bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar. The biggest surprise was the opportunity to be the first Greek group to visit the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) before its official opening. It is a stunning museum that truly leaves you speechless. We owe a big thank you to the Manessis travel agency for this great success.

Our guide, Karam, toured us through the history, culture, and daily life of Egypt, leaving an indelible mark of this wonderful civilization.
