Overview
About your trip
Experience Ancient Egypt like never before on this 14-day, fully guided, all-inclusive journey blending science, spirituality, and pure wonder. From the moment you arrive in Cairo until your departure, every detail is taken care of — airport pick-up, seamless domestic travel, Nile cruise accommodations, luxury hotels, expert guides, and delicious meals.
Guided by Egyptologist Mohamed Ibrahim of Saba Tours and hosted by Chris Noble of Ancient Mysteries Unearthed, in partnership with Neil Gaur of Portal To Ascension, this experience goes far beyond a standard group tour. We travel privately as our own dedicated group and receive rare private access to the Great Pyramid’s King’s Chamber for sound activations, chanting, and acoustic exploration, as well as exclusive time with the Sphinx. Together, we’ll explore legendary temples, tombs, and sacred sites like Saqqara, Karnak, Luxor and the Temple of Hathor, diving into the historical, esoteric, and energetic dimensions of Egypt’s greatest mysteries.
Expect deep learning, powerful healing experiences, lively conversations, and the joy of connecting with a community of like-minded explorers. There will also be live music performances and a closing night ecstatic dance celebration to honor the transformation we’ve shared.
We are proud to offer highly competitive pricing for a tour of this caliber, and we absorb the WeTravel booking fees so there are no surprise platform charges added at checkout!
Departing September 16–29, 2026, this is more than a tour... it is a once-in-a-lifetime, life changing adventure!
