The Equinox Journey: Finding Center in Egypt's Timeless Landscape
March 12–26, 2026
15 days / 14 nights through Cairo, the desert, and the Nile.
A Transformational Journey through the Balance of Light and Shadow
At the time of the spring equinox, when day and night stand in perfect balance, we invite you to travel through Egypt’s timeless landscapes — from the Pyramids of Giza to the Siwa Oasis and the Nile temples of Luxor and Aswan.
This is not a tour, but a carefully guided experience that blends cultural exploration, self-awareness, and integration practices.
You’ll walk where ancient civilizations sought wisdom and balance — using these environments as mirrors for your own inner landscape.
Why the Equinox?
The equinox marks the point of perfect equilibrium between light and darkness — a universal symbol of harmony.
In the Egyptian desert, where the sun’s path is clear and uninterrupted, this balance becomes tangible.
It is a moment to pause, reflect, and realign — a natural setting for a journey that invites presence, renewal, and emotional balance.
