December 4-12, 2024
Imagine standing in the timeless presence and majesty of the ancient pyramids of Giza. The air is filled with the scent of sun-baked earth and desert sand. As you take a deep breath, a profound sense of awe and wonder washes over you.
The sun casts a golden hue over the sprawling desert sands as a warm breeze carries the rhythmic clink of camel bells and the distant calls of traders. With each step you take, you feel an innate connection to something much larger than yourself, as if the timeless spirit of the land itself is coursing through the sand beneath your feet.
Before you, the ancient stones whisper tales of a civilization long past. As your fingers meet the rough, warm stones beneath your fingertips, you can feel the weight of history and the mystery of centuries past gently embrace your spirit.
You feel a stirring of curiosity, a hunger for understanding, and a growing excitement for the transformative journey that lies ahead.

Nestled in the heart of the Siwa Oasis, Tijan Siwa Resort offers an unparalleled blend of simple luxury, tranquility, and cultural immersion.
Surrounded by lush palm groves and framed by majestic sand dunes, the resort serves as a peaceful sanctuary for our retreat. The architecture seamlessly blends with the desert landscape, featuring traditional mud-brick structures that evoke a sense of ancient wisdom and timeless elegance.
We will unwind in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the natural hot spring fed pool. Additionally, you are invited to experience the calming and therapeutic benefits of the salt room, designed to enhance relaxation and well-being.
A community tent designed for comfort and connection offers a cool respite from the desert sun and a serene environment for deep inner work. We will gather here for our teaching segments and transformative breathwork sessions.

Indulge in mahshi, stuffed vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini filled with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs, and spices. Fresh salads featuring crisp greens and seasonal vegetables tossed with tangy vinaigrettes provide a refreshing complement to each meal, alongside soft, warm Egyptian bread perfect for scooping up delicious dips and spreads.
Quench your thirst with cool hibiscus teas and refreshing mint lemonades. Exotic blended juices made from fresh in-season fruits offer a sweet and nutritious boost. December offers juicy oranges, guavas, strawberries, and more!

This Looks Amazing!
The Journey
Our journey begins on Wednesday in the vibrant heart of Cairo. As evening descends, we make our way to a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable cultural experience. The air is filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed tea as traditional instruments, such as the oud and the tambourine, weave intricate rhythms and melodies to create a tapestry of sound that speaks of ancient traditions and deep cultural roots.
No trip to Egypt would be complete without a visit to the Pyramids, so the next day takes us to Giza where we will marvel at the grandeur of these ancient monuments, enter the King’s Chamber, and behold (and maybe even steal a kiss from) the enigmatic Sphinx.
Our journey continues with a visit to one of Cairo’s renowned essential oil shops, where the air is rich with the therapeutic scents of exotic oils. Here, the delicate fragrances wrap around you, offering refreshment and an indulgent sensory experience that will transport you into deep relaxation and rejuvenation.
On Friday, the early morning sun paints the landscape in hues of gold and amber as we make our way across the Western Desert. Along the way, majestic camels gracefully navigate the sands, their silhouettes stark against the endless horizon. These gentle creatures, with their unhurried pace and serene demeanour, add to the sense of tranquillity that infuses our journey.
The desert gives way to the turquoise glimmers of the Mediterranean Sea. Here, the salty sea breeze mingles with the mouthwatering aroma of traditional Egyptian dishes as we pause for lunch. The flavours are as vibrant as the scenery, with mouthwatering lemon, rich olive oil, and fragrant herbs.
As evening falls, we descend into the oasis where the rustle of palms and the soft murmur of flowing water create a tranquil and restorative environment. We plunge into the warm, mineral-rich waters, washing away the day’s journey and leaving us refreshed and rejuvenated.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Over the next five days we find not just rest, but a deep connection to the natural beauty and timeless culture of the region. In this peaceful haven, we will explore ancient ruins, healing springs, and salt lakes of Siwa Oasis.
We will also indulge in a special herbal mud bath, where the healing properties of the earth envelop us, leaving our skin rejuvenated and our spirits lifted. Combining these elemental therapies with breathwork sessions allows us to unlock inner wisdom and release stagnant energy, paving the way for profound transformation.
A special off-road excursion into the Great Sand Sea also awaits us where we will experience authentic Bedouin style tea prepared over a fire surrounded by the endless expanse of golden sands. We return to Cairo for departure on Thursday, December 12.
