Magical Journey to Egypt -
From Pyramids to Desert Silence (23–31 October)
Do you feel the call to find stillness, to break free from the distractions of everyday life?
Do you wish to journey into the quiet depths of your own being, and be surprised by the pearl you discover there?
Then this journey is your invitation. We combine the ancient power of Giza with the gentle embrace of the desert’s silence — a setting for wonder and rebirth. Egypt spreads its arms wide and softly whispers its magic to you.
Rising Egypt organises small-group tours for 5 to 12 travellers, where personal growth and transformation can unfold.
What can you expect?
- The pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
The pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx still remain a breathtaking highlight. We stay with a view of the pyramids and this is an experience you will remember for a long time. We take plenty of time to explore the Giza plateau, to visit the interior of the pyramids and to take it all in at a calm pace. Our guide, with his knowledge and intuition, leads us deeper into the wondrous world of the pyramids.
- The new grand Egypt museum in Giza: GEM
The new Egyptian Museum is a museum complex situated near the pyramids. It is entirely dedicated to ancient Egypt, featuring numerous chronological galleries and the complete collection of Tutankhamun. We’ll take a moment to immerse ourselves in the grandeur of both the museum and Egyptian culture, and make a selection that’s accessible.
- The Fayoum Oasis
Fayoum is a place of silence and calm, where desert, water and greenery come together in harmony. Here, time slows down, and the lakes, the wind and the open horizon invite you to rest, marvelled and be still.
Amidst the lake, the sand dunes and the vast horizon, you can feel the simplicity of the landscape, but also its profound power.
Fayoum is not a place that imposes itself loudly; it is a place that touches you quietly, with its tranquillity and its openness.
We spend the night near the magical lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in Egypt. It is called ‘the magical lake’ because it changes colour several times a day, depending on the time of year and the amount of sunlight it receives. It is a beautiful spot surrounded by desert and sand dunes. You can go for walks, climb the Mudawara mountain, go sandboarding and even swim in the lake.
A hidden gem in Egypt, offering both stunning sunrises and sunsets.
- A transforming journey
The power of this journey lies in the encounter between places of power, such as the pyramids of Giza, and the quiet space of the desert. Together, they form a foundation within which things can shift, soften and deepen — a journey infused with powerful heart energy.
In our gatherings, those moments we share together, we listen to what lives within each of us. What inner movements can we feel? During these circles, meditations and yoga sessions, we experience the supportive power of the group even more intensely.
Our program:
Day 1 – 23/10 | Arrival in Cairo
On arrival in Cairo, we are warmly welcomed and transferred to our hotel in Giza. Depending on the time of arrival, there will be time to settle in and enjoy the first view of the pyramids. Overnight stay near the pyramids.
Day 2 – 24/10 | The Pyramids & Sunset by Camel
We start the day with a visit to one of the most iconic sites in the world: the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. After a late lunch, we take time to let it all sink in. In the early evening, we experience an unforgettable sunset during a camel ride in the desert.
Day 3 – 25/10 | Grand Egyptian Museum & Fayoum
We visit the impressive Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), where Egypt’s rich history comes to life in a modern way. Afterwards, we leave the city behind and travel to the Magical Lake in Fayoum, a place where nature and tranquillity take centre stage.
Day 4 – 26/10 | Arriving on a deeper level
Today, we naturally slow down and find stillness. The magic of the surroundings allows us, on the one hand, to settle down and turn inwards, and on the other, to fully expand with the vastness around us. We explore the area on a peaceful walk and make space for our first group desert meditation. A day to ground ourselves, feel and connect with the silence of nature.
Day 5 – 27/10 | Wadi Al-Hitan – Valley of the Whales
We head to the unique UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wadi Al-Hitan. In this impressive valley, we discover whale fossils hundreds of millions of years old — a special journey back in time. We also visit the small but fascinating museum that brings this story to life.
Day 6 – 28/10 | Silence, nature and inner reflection
We start the day quietly with a group session, followed by some quiet time amidst the splendour of nature. In the afternoon, we set off again by jeep to visit the Valley of the Watermelon as well as a remarkable cave in the rocks, where we will share a moment of meditation together.
Day 7 – 29/10 | Integration and tranquillity by the lake
Our final full day by the magical lake is all about integration. Walking, resting, reflecting and deepening our experience — each at their own pace, carried by the soothing surroundings of the lake.
Day 8 – 30/10 | Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls & back to Cairo
We visit the beautiful nature reserve of Wadi El Rayan, known for its waterfalls — a rare phenomenon in Egypt. Afterwards, we discover the traditional handmade pottery of Fayoum. In the afternoon, we return to Cairo for our final night in a comfortable hotel near the airport.

After a special and enriching trip in Egypt, we take the flight back home.
