Hello again. I have been pondering what to share with you this month and then decided to share from my heart. My first journey to Egypt in 2011 brought so much personal growth and healing of fears and phobias for me that I just knew I needed to bring people to Egypt to experience some…
Goddess Tours are healing tours, with the intention of opening your Heart to give and receive more Love. We move into a space of Divine Love, or Heaven on Earth. Goddess Tours are unique in that we have special permission for Private Visits, to the Sphinx, the Pyramid and Isis Temple.
The further south we travel, the more beautiful the lush countryside becomes. Lofty date palms and mango, fig and lemon trees line the banks, interspersed by thickets of reeds from which an occasional ibis rears up, spreading its snow-white wings.
Virtually all the temples in Upper Egypt are built from sandstone from Gebel el-Silsila. The big Nile cruisers do not bother to stop at Egypt’s most important quarry, but the Abundance draws up there directly at the spot.
Esna, the starting point of our journey. Several dahabiyas are lined up along the city’s pier in the morning sun; the Abundance stands out as particularly inviting with its gleaming wooden deck, sparkling white hull and colour-coordinated textiles. An eight-strong crew is on hand to take care of the ship and the guests.
Sailing Cruise in Egypt. The joys of the Nile. Heading down the river. Board a traditional dahabiya and you’ll find an escape from the mass tourism that is so dominant here; instead, you can explore the culture, the country and the people from a personal and individual perspective.
Life in Upper Egypt is calm these days. As everywhere in this world there are recommendations and measures like masks and distancing rules; yet the Egyptians stay relaxed and trust life. Inshallah – God willing, as people say here. A relaxed attitude, perhaps more beneficial to health than fear and worries. Our family and our…

But how about ancient Thebes? (todays Luxor) What connection did Alexander have with…

We agreed that we wanted to explore Egypt without having to fight through crowds of tourists or endure the tourist-targeted folklore offered on the big Nile cruise ships. Given this, it was easy to pick the method of travel that most appealed to us. We chose a dahabeya, the traditional sailing ship, and dreamed of…
