Ancient Egypt with Rising Egypt
Are you ready for your journey to Egypt?
Driven by our passion for Egypt, we are happy to share our knowledge and expertise with you. Not as a large tour operator, but with a personal approach, local knowledge and years of experience.
We listen to what matters to you and work together from there.
Do you love cosy three-star hotels, or would you rather enjoy the comfort and luxury of a five-star hotel? Are you mainly interested in the temples and the ancient history of Egypt? Or would you also like to experience the local culture, taste Egyptian cuisine and discover the beauty of nature? Perhaps you dream of finding a hidden gem along the way, away from the classic tourist routes.
Tell us what you would love to experience, and together we will create a journey that is truly your own.
When you choose Rising Egypt, you are not only choosing a beautiful itinerary, but also the personal guidance that make your journey special.
Throughout your journey, you will have your own private transportation and your own private guide by your side — someone who brings the stories behind the places to life, helps you navigate your surroundings and makes sure you feel safe, comfortable and at ease.
The journeys below are intended as examples and inspiration. They are more classic itineraries, giving you an idea. Nothing is set in stone, however. They can be adapted, extended or completely tailored to your own wishes.
We wish you a beautiful journey of discovery.

Wat de reis naar Egypte met Rising Egypt zo bijzonder maakt is in de eerste plaats de grote liefde en kennis van de Egyptische oude cultuur van de gids Younes. Hij neemt je mee doorheen de hele geschiedenis van het oude Egypte op een manier waardoor het echt tot leven komt en diep doordringt. WIj kozen voor een reis op de Nijl met de Dahabiya en dat is echt de highlight van de reis geworden. Rustig varen op de Nijl en niet tegelijkertijd met duizenden toeristen aankomen op de sites. Younes wist handig de massa te ontwijken zodat we de tempels goed konden ervaren. Het unieke van de Dahabyia is dat het contact met het land en de Nijl directer is en niet zo van op afstand zoals in een groot cruiseschip. WIj hadden al lang geleden dezelfde Nijlcruise gedaan en dit vond ik toen al magisch, maar dit wat we nu onder begeleiding van Younes mogen ervaren hebben is zoveel interessanter en gaat zoveel verder dan wat ik mij had kunnen voorstellen.
Drie maanden voor de afreis naar Egypte verloor ik mijn partner. Sindsdien zocht ik naar ‘iets’, een opening, een nieuwe invulling voor mijn leven. Als ik dat niet zou vinden, was het leven voor mij eigenlijk wel klaar, dan was het goed geweest, dan was ik bereid om afscheid te nemen. Egypte voelde voor mij als ‘erop of eronder’ en ik hoopte uiteraard dat deze reis en het land voor mij zou fungeren als een brug, een poort naar een nieuwe, vervullende fase in mijn leven.
Tijdens onze voorbereidende sessie in België knalde de energie van Luxor recht mijn hart in: dragend, voedend, gracieus. Iets in me werd wakker. Eenzelfde beleving was er opnieuw tijdens onze fietstocht naar en bezoek aan een prachtig Isistempeltje in Luxor. Weer voelde het alsof iets in me ontwaakte, alsof iets her-innerd werd. Diezelfde ervaring zou me tijdens onze reis nog vaker overvallen, zo bijvoorbeeld ook in het tempelcomplex in Dendera en bij de 7 poorten in Karnak. Met elke keer dat ik deze ervaring beleefde, voelde ik meer licht in me binnenstromen en (h)erkende ik helderder mijn essentie.
Het voelde alsof ik mezelf weer vond, alsof ik me weer heel bewust werd van mijn eigen authentieke trilling en kleur, alsof ik weer helder de vinger kon leggen op wat mijn eigen essentie is, hoe ze aanvoelt. De dag voor onze nacht aan het magical lake in de woestijn, stuurde ik heel bewust de vraag het universum in: ‘Ik voel nu weer helder wie ik ben, maar hoe breng ik dit alles samen in een nieuwe invulling en opdracht voor mijn leven?’ Helemaal onder de indruk van de woestijn en eigenlijk al vergetend dat ik de dag ervoor die vraag uitgestuurd had, overviel me het antwoord in the cave of the womb. De ervaring daar was zó sterk dat ik de transformatie die ze bracht niet kon ontkennen. Een duidelijke visie toonde zich.
Ik weet het weer, ik voel het weer. Meer nog, ik heb het nooit eerder in mijn leven zó helder geweten en gevoeld als nu. Er is nu zóveel dankbaarheid, zóveel levensvreugde. Ik ben nu een vrouw die haar geschiedenis kent, uitkijkt naar haar toekomst én met volle teugen geniet van haar nu.
Wat ik geleerd heb en meeneem uit deze reis, is, more than anything else, dat het universum ALTIJD op jouw vragen/gebeden antwoordt, altijd, er bestaan daarop geen uitzonderingen.
RisingEgypt is afgestemd, geeft ruimte voor het in stilte en dicht bij jezelf beleven van krachtplekken, voor het ten volle in alle veiligheid in de energie kunnen stappen, voor eigenheid, rust en integratie. Zonder de uitermate afgestemde en professionele begeleiding van Veerle, Younis en Ilse zou ik me nooit zó hebben durven openen. Dankjewel, jullie!
Als jij klaar bent voor een transformatie, dan kan Egypte ervaren met RisingEgypt misschien ook voor jou de deur openen? Ik gun het je zó van harte!
Toen ik met Veerle de eerste maal in gesprek ging, hadden we het al snel over Egypte.
Het concept sprak me meteen aan.
Het deed mn wangen blozen en zo wist ik dat ik de sprong naar het ongekende kon maken.
Deze reis was "machtig, prachtig" door hetgeen we gezien en gedaan hebben, door de mooie slaapgelegheden, het lekkere eten, de zon overdag, de koelte in de avond, maar vooral door de verbinding in de groep.
Het was een reis met vele uitschieters:
Diepgaande, openhartige gesprekken, vele nieuwe inzichten, losgekomen tranen, hevige lachbuien, maar ook welgemeende knuffels en zoveel meer.
Veerle, Stefan en Younes zorgden ervoor dat alles in goede banen werd geleid alsook legden ze veel diepgang in deze reis.
Enkele lesjes van deze reis die me altijd zullen bijblijven:
- Laat oude pijn los
- Het leven is geven en (nemen) ontvangen.
- Ik ( moet ) kies er voor.
Dank jullie wel...voor alles...❤️
Lieve mooie mensen,
Egypte 🇪🇬
Het land vd Goden en Godinnen en zoveel meer🧚♀️
Ik kwam thuis in mezelf,
In het zachte én het krachtige,
In het mannelijke én het vrouwelijke dat in mij leeft,
Mezelf opnieuw leren dragen,
Voeden & koesteren,
Mijn innerlijke balans herstellen🙏💫🧚♀️🌟
En dan ontmoet je lieverds op dezelfde reis om werkelijk te verbinden, om te groeien, om te inspireren en te creëren…..
Dan ontstaat er magie om niet langer een leegte te vullen maar thuis te komen in een warme,veilige, liefdevolle bedding!!!!!💖✨💝
Hartsknuffel, Véronic 💞
Rising Egypt ... de reis van mijn leven !
Het was genieten van begin tot einde (behalve misschien op mijn kameel 😂)
Ik werd gedragen door fantastische , inspirerende , lieve mensen :
Veerle,die elke vraag, bedenking, verzuchting ter harte neemt . Alles kan, niets moet. Zo nabij en toch de nodige ruimte geven .
Younes, onze deskundige, guitige gids ,tolk en allrounder . Onmisbaar.
Alonzo, onze chauffeur die moeiteloos door het gestoorde verkeer van Cairo laveert en bodyguard in de drukte. Nooit bang geweest.
Abdullah, die ons een proefje gaf van wat een rally in de woestijn kan zijn . Spannend.
Forever in my heart 💖
Mijn topmomenten : de oase fayoum, oog in oog met de sfinx, omhoog en omlaag naar het hart van de piramides, de rust van de koptische kloosters.
De warme ontmoetingen met de plaatselijke bevolking en de authentieke adresjes die we bezochten .
Ik ga zeker terug.
Rising Egypt ... is rising yourself 🙏
We have just had an amazing tour of Egypt, and our guide - Younis played a big role in making it memorable. He knew a lot about the history and culture of Egypt, and his explanations made the ancient sites come to life. Everything was well-organized, making the trip very interesting. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also trustful and friendly, he recommended very good local foods with reasonable price. Overall, I highly recommend this tour, and our guide made it an unforgettable experience.
Reizen met Rising Egypt is zoals reizen naar de hemel. Het was zo'n bijzondere ervaring die begon in de kleine piramide in Gize waar het universum ons een moment alleen bood om te zingen als engelen. En het ging steeds dieper. Veerle en Younes creëren een veld waarin we zo mooi konden groeien. Met heel bijzondere healings ook. Ik ben zo dankbaar voor deze ervaring.
Wauw wat een reis! Samengesteld door Rising Egypt vanuit de wensen die uit allerlei hoeken naar Veerle Wauters toe kwamen (ook van mij). Langs de Giza pyramides, de stad Akhetaton/Amarna, de tombes en tempels van Abydos, Dendera met kleine groep naar Luxor. Als kers op de taart een privébezoek aan het weinig bezochte Osireion. Zo ging ik voor de derde keer mee met Rising Egypt.
Door de bezielde begeleiding van Veerle en Younis kon ik dit keer de kracht van het oude Egypte meer voelen, ervaren en de magie ervan door me heen laten werken. Een prachtige gave om de oude wijsheid van het authentieke Egypte en ingevingen op precies de juiste momenten in de groep of individueel te delen. Veerle ook door deze te verklanken.Younis bleek naast Egyptoloog en tourguide simkaart expert, DJ (in de auto) en een orakel dat werkelijk op elke vraag een antwoord had (soms op Egyptische wijze😊).
Zoals ik het ervaarde stonden jullie ons 24/7 bij in de vele processen die we samen hebben doorgemaakt. De veilige bedding die jullie in de kleine groep creëerden maakte de weg vrij om elkaar onvoorwaardelijk bij te staan. Voedend, veilig, zingend, huilend, lachend, transformerend. Een tribe. Een thuiskomen. De groep in mijn hart gesloten.
Such a big,wonderful,joyful,singingful travel with Veerle en Younes,they were making it so comfortable,spaceful and rich with their experience,knowledge and wisdom .Words are not enough to describe.
In the depth.of our being...very soon we understood "less is more".I feel now as a container,containing eveything,full of energy and strength.Full of gratitude for the singings together...in the car,at the powerful places ,the piramides,the monastery,the temples,the mummies...Experiencing that we could give by our singing, our meditating was wonderful. Discovering the dance and rythm inside ..I feel gratitude to the wonderful people I travelled with, learning to be in connection again.Thank you Veerle and Younes for creating this!
It is with great love that I write this review. Words will never be enough to describe the experiences I had in Egypt. I felt the call of Egypt, wasn't sure what I was really getting into, so this trip simply exceeded any expectations I could have had. From the start of the preparation for this trip, I could feel Veerle's dedication to me and the other participants. Caring and with full confidence in our own abilities. Together with Younis she forms a very complementary team. Their attunement ensures that the journey can be experienced in one big flow. Everything is perfectly arranged and can often be adapted to the needs of the group at a moment's notice. This also ensures that the group quickly has a 'we are in this together' feeling, but that everyone also has the opportunity to keep their own space or express their needs.
I appreciated the authenticity in the way of guidance. So palpable that they truly embody the spirit of ancient Egypt. It is in their presence, a touch or saying the right words in the right place at the right time. Thanks for this great journey, Rising Egypt!
The best journey of my life so far. But I will return again, so my rating can still upgrade in the future. :)
After a long time of hesitation (being away from my little children) I took the leap of faith and booked this trip. And I couldn’t be more grateful that I did!
The locations we visited were, of course, spectacular. But what made this trip so unforgettable was the way it was guided: Veerle was always attuned to the needs of the group on all aspects (do we want a busy shedule or an easy day, do we need to stay a bit longer in one place or allready move on to the next visit) Every moment the balance was kept between individual needs and the needs of the group. This way you could be as social as you wanted or as isolated as you needed to be. Freedom in connection, the best way to travel. Younis, the guide, is a spirited walking encyclopedia. He knows what you need to hear and trusts that the information will do its work, consciously or not. In this group, we meditated and sang alot. We supported eachothers processes in the greatest teamspirit there could be.
It was paradise for the heart and soul.
So… when is the next trip?
🙏🤗❤️
From the first connection Veerle thoroughly listen to all needs possible from each of her customers, from travel tickets to the intention of the travel. She hand picked our guide Younis, who have the most deep knowledge about anscient Egypt, and also he are very intuitive and in listening to all needs and follow up any request. Together they find the best places and hotels (or open air in the dessert) When needed Younis is with us, and when we want to go by our own, we do.
The driver follow us throw the travel which makes the small group as a family! In our travel we where 6 persons plus Veerle, Younis and our driver and all of us had a huge personal shift and development from the present spiritual charging places. I have deep friends for lifetime who I can continue follow up and refresh our experiences with!
I really can’t believe how it is possible to arrange all this with such a big heart!
