Day 4 

Adventure on The Nile River Sailing to Kom Ombo

Day 4 Sail to Kom Ombo and visit the Temple shared by two gods Sobek and Haeroris - Sail to Edfu and then visit Horus Temple (B,L,D).

Today we'll relax on the Nile cruise and sunbathe on deck,  as we sail to Kom Ombo. When we arrive at Kom Ombo, we'll explore the Temple and invoke magic balancing our light and our dark side. The temple is unique because it is, in fact, a double 

temple, dedicated to Sobek the crocodile god, and Horus the falcon-headed god. 

The layout combines two temples in one with each side having its own gateways and chapels.

Sobek is associated with the wicked god Seth, the enemy of Horus. In the teachings of Horus, the allies of Seth made their escape by changing themselves into crocodiles. Sobek’s chief sanctuary was at Kom Ombo, where there were once huge numbers of crocodiles. Until recent times the Egyptian Nile was infested with these ferocious animals, who would lay on the riverbank and devour animals and humans alike. So it is not surprising that the local inhabitants went in fear.

They believed that as a totem animal, and object of worship, it would not attack them. Captive crocodiles were kept within the temple and many mummified crocodiles have been found in cemeteries, some of which can be seen in the temple sanctuary today.

We’ll explore the famous symmetrical temple, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus before we return to the felucca and continue our journey downriver.

We'll visit Karnak Temples and Luxor Temple, the Royal Cemetery for 62 Pharaohs, Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, Ptolemaic Temple dedicated to Horus at Edfu.

Temple of Sobek, dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Aswan, High Dam, and the beautiful Temple of Philae, which is devoted to the two goddesses Isis and Hathor.

We will visit the Nile Temples, reflecting and meditating at each one, as each is a place of sacred initiation.

Know that Isis is reaching her maternal, protective wings out to you, her beloved daughter.

She is gently pulling you back home to her, to the Motherland of Kemet (Egypt). We'll visit the temples of Hathor and Isis, as we work with the Goddesses of Love, Fertility, Beauty, and Magic, integrating the energies into our chakra systems.

As we work with the initiation, we will integrate our experience into the Heart Chakra at the Temple of the Mother Goddess, Isis, on Philae Island, where we will meditate in honor of the Goddesses and spend time at the temples enjoying the energy.

Day 5 Valley of the Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and Memnon

Today we visit the West Bank to explore the Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings is known for its lavishly decorated tombs of important pharaohs.  Our tour will also take us to the temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the giant Colossi of Memnon.

As we pay homage to the Goddess Queen Hatshepsut and visit her majestic Temple.   At the temple complex of Karnak, she erected a series of obelisks and built a “Palace of Ma’at.” The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is a memorial temple marking the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. The queen wanted to impress upon the Egyptian people her standing as a great leader and pharaoh. She did this by building many statues of herself with a false beard symbolizing that she had all the power of a male.  The temple was desecrated by Thutmose III and Akhenaten following Hatshepsut’s death. However, you can still see that the statues depict a female likeness despite being dressed as a male.

We'll adventure through the city and cross to the west bank of the Nile - home to the mighty Colossi of Memnon, and visit the great Valley of the Kings,  The Gateway to the Afterlife.

Here, we'll get a true understanding of ancient Egyptian extravagance and luxury.

Stroll down the Avenue of Sphinxes and marvel at the towering pillars of Hypostyle Hall as we explore this gigantic complex. The site took more than 1,500 years to complete and around 30 different pharaohs contributed to it in some way.

We'll visit the ancient and magical Karnak and open the portals within honoring the energy of its age-old temples, towering columns and decadent chapels.

The Temple is dedicated to Amun-Ra, and the area immediately around his main sanctuary was known in antiquity as “Ipet-Sun” which means “the most select of places.”   To the south, The Temple is dedicated to his wife Goddess Mut.  To the north, there is another precinct dedicated to Montu, the falcon-headed god of war. Also, to the east, there is an area — much of it destroyed intentionally in antiquity — dedicated to the Aten, the sun disk.   '

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are served.

Day 6 Karnak and Luxor Temples
