places in all of Egypt. Karnak sits on 247 acres of land and is a group of temples surrounded by one enclosure wall that is dedicated to the god Amon-Ra. It is the

to the west bank and visit the Valley of the Kings. We will visit colorful tombs that were carved out of rocky cliffs.
Beginning with the 18th dynasty, royal burials were completed underground to safeguard the mummies and rich furnishings
from grave-robbers. We will have the pleasure of having our own private admission to the Tomb of Ramses VI, a stunningly
beautiful tomb which is only open to a select number of visitors each day. Ramses' tomb contains amazing hieroglyphics and
scenes of the afterlife, including one of the most beautiful representations of Nut, the Goddess of the Sky.

beautiful temple. She asked her architect not to spare any effort in making this the best of its kind. We’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon as we return to the east

of ancient Egypt, the Temple of Horus is the most complete in its preservation. The divine marriage of Horus and Hathor is depicted on the
walls of this temple.It is easy to sense a deep eternal presence in the Holy of Holies, as we focus our attention inward.
As our ship continues southward toward the temple of Kom Ombo, we can observe the daily life of the people living here. Farmers plowing
their fields with oxen and women washing clothes at the edge of the river as they have done from generation to generation. We arrive at the
temple of Kom Ombo, the only temple in Egypt dedicated to two gods, Horus and Sobek, the crocodile god.An imaginary line divides the
temple longitudinally into two parts, each with its own entrance, hypostyle halls, and chapels. This unusual double temple might express
the Egyptians understanding of the dual nature of reality. Here we might meditate upon light and shadow, yin and yang of our own personal
natures. In the evening, enjoy a Galabiyah (Egyptian gown) party on the ship as we continue sailing south to Aswan. Cruise Ship (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
March 23 Fri. Day 11: Abu Simbel / return to Cairo
This morning we check out of our Nile Cruise ship taking with us many memories of magical temples and beautiful
scenery along the Nile River. We board our plane and fly into the southern desert to Abu Simbel which sits on the
banks of Lake Nasser. As we approach the temple site from the back we see only a plain rounded hill with pathways
on either side. As we follow the path and round the hill we are left breathless with our first glimpse of four colossal
statues of Ramses II sitting on his throne guarding the entrance to his temple. Each statue is as high as a 7 story
building. A short distance away is the Temple of Nefertari, Ramses II’s favorite wife. Cut from the rock face are six
colossal standing figures, four of Ramses II and two of Nefertari, each one 33 feet high. We explore these spectacular
temples and have some personal time for quiet reflection before we fly back to Cairo and check into the 5 Star
Le Meridien Pyramids Hotel next to the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Pharonic relics. It is the world's densest concentration of ancient Egyptian artifacts and antiquities. Marvel at the enormous sarcophagi,
statues, jewelry, and the magnificent golden master pieces of King Tut. After lunch we’ll proceed to Old Cairo which is truly a multi-faith area
where Jewish, Coptic and Islamic monuments all stand next to one another.
- Here we will see the Hanging Church and the Ben Ezra synagogue, the Citadel of Saldine and Mohamed Ali’s Mosque. We should have some
time to wander the narrow streets and alleys of the Khan El Kalili Bazaar where you can bargain
with the shop keepers for some Egyptian treasure to take home. Or simply relax in one of the café’s
sipping some strong Turkish coffee. This evening we fly from Cairo to Luxor, “the City of Palaces,”
which holds two thirds of the world’s monuments and offers its visitors huge temples and colorful
tombs. We check into our beautiful hotel which is located directly on the Nile.

Today we start early, as we make our way north along the Nile to the Temple of Abydos, which many consider the most sacred
temple in all of Egypt. Here, Seti I built an unusual temple dedicated to multiple gods and we will view some very famous,
anachronistic carvings of helicopters, tanks and jet planes. Pharoah Seti I's temple was built on top of an earlier temple of very
ancient, possibly Atlantean origins, called the Osirion. Located on one of the pillars of the Osirion are glyphs of the “Flower of
Life.”
After lunch, it’s on to the Hathor Temple of Dendara. The temple complex of Dendara is dedicated to one of the most beloved of
the Egyptian deities, Hathor, Goddess of Love and Beauty. In this Temple we get to examine the famous Zodiac ceiling and the
painted carvings of Nut (Goddess of the Sky) swallowing the solar disc at night and birthing it again each morning. Also in this
temple we get a peek into esoteric Egyptian technology. We'll be taken to see some very unusual, hidden carvings that appear to
depict a kind of electrical device powering an energy tube like light bulbs with serpent filaments. After dinner at the hotel, you
may choose to cross the street and visit an amazing shop that has carpets and delicate embroidery made by Coptic nuns.

- Time to relax this afternoon and anticipate your evening visit to Luxor Temple, built during the reign of Amenhotep III. It was
completely buried in sand for many centuries which allowed it to be one of the most well preserved temples. The temple has
many beautifully decorated columns, a huge open court, a massive façade representing its entrance, a huge pylon, and two
seated statues of Ramses II. The beauty of Luxor is made even more dramatic as we walk under the stars and gaze at the
statues, columns and obelisks that are illuminated by many lights. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

After breakfast we tour Aswan which feels like an oasis in the desert. Here the Nile flows through granite rocks while palm trees
and farm lands cover it banks with the golden desert close at hand.Then we take a motor dinghy to a small island and the
Temple of Philae, dedicated to Isis, the Great Mother. Isis temple is considered to be the most beautiful and magical temple in
the Nile valley.Later we visit the Unfinished Obelisk which lies in its original location in a granite quarry. It was abandoned when
some cracks appeared in the rock during its construction. Had this obelisk been completed, it would have been the largest
obelisk ever cut, weighing nearly 1100 tons. On our way back to the ship we’ll stop at a cotton shop, nothing compares to the
silky texture of Egyptian cotton! After lunch we will sail the Nile in a graceful Egyptian sailboat known as a “Felucca”. As we
travel across the Nile to Elephatine Island we’ll enjoy the soft breeze and some traditional songs along the way. Nile Cruise

- March 24 Sat. Day 12: Great Pyramid / Giza Plateau / Sphinx
Today is the day we have all been preparing and waiting for, experiencing the mystery and power of the Great Pyramid of
Cheops and the Guardian of the Mysteries, the Sphinx. Before the general tourists arrive, our group, by special permission will
have a private exclusive visit “inside the paws of the Sphinx, which is closed to the general public. Here it is thought, that the
Hall of Records of Ancient Atlantis is housed. What a heartfelt opportunity for us to have private time to meditate, reflect and
connect with the energy of this ancient guardian of stone.
- Then comes the ultimate experience, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have exclusive private time inside the Great Pyramid of
Giza. For almost 2 hours this ancient wonder of the world belongs to us! As you have time in the Queen’s chamber you can
acknowledge your connection with the Divine Feminine and Mother Earth. Then we move to the King’s Chamber, where rites of
initiation have been used by ancient mystery schools through the ages. We will have time for group energy work, meditation and
ritual which will be a very personal, life-changing inner journey. In this sacred space you may release the old ego-driven life and
intend a rebirth into a vibrant, light-filled awareness of yourself and the world around you. Afterward you have the option of
taking a camel or horse ride around the Great Pyramid.
After our group farewell dinner, we will have a closing group session which will
include a group energy session specifically tailored to integrate the entire experience
from the last 12 days. This will facilitate a smooth reentry into our daily lives.

| Egypt, has been called the cradle of civilization, the land where the "esoteric mysteries" began. Many people feel such a deep connection with this mysterious land...standing beneath spectacular and overwhelming monuments, encoded with ancient wisdom may connect you with memories of lifetimes past? Egypt is strongly connected with Ancient Atlantis and often resonates on a soul level with many seekers. Experience a transformational journey, explore the Isis Mysteries. Rediscover and heal fragmented forgotten parts of yourself in sacred temples...begin an initiation back into a remembering of your wholeness. Venture inside the Great Pyramid and begin an initiation into Egypt's mysteries... ……an initiation like no other. Gene Ang, Ph.D. will help you to deepen the process of encoding the information held in the sacred places and spaces of Egypt by teaching you how vibration, resonance, light, and information can be attuned to by each person in a sacred manner. He sees himself more as a clear quartz crystal on this tour rather than an expert in any one area of knowledge. The magnificence and majesty contained at these ancient sites will unlock, for each participant, the hidden keys that draw them to this expedition. There will be ample time for integration and group activations. Gene will also teach straightforward time-tested techniques that will open the doorway into the hidden dimensions behind physical reality to unlock the codes contained in each person’s connection to these sacred places and spaces. |

practice based in Thousand Oaks, California and sees clients for Reconnective Healing, Pranic Healing, Vortex Healing, Shamanic Counseling and the Reconnection. In addition, Gene travels around the United States facilitating healing sessions and workshops that focus on the integration of science and spirituality Gene received his BA from Stanford University in Human Biology and Philosophy / Religious Studies.Gene continued his education at YaleUniversity where he was formally trained as a Neurobiologist and earned his doctorate in basic mechanisms of how the brain develops followed by a post-doctoral fellowship on how ultrasound can affect the developing cerebral cortex. After completing his fellowship, Gene decided to step into the role of a facilitator in order to more directly interact with helping people in a healing capacity. Gene's work centers around the use of energy to help align the subtle energy body, its channels, meridians, and energy centers to help restore balance and harmony so that healing can occur whether it be physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual. Gene does not see himself as the healer but simply as part of the interconnectedness that occurs when facilitator, client, and Source/Love/God interact to bring healing forth. He sees his teaching engagements and seminars as an extension of this interaction that occurs on multiple dimensions to bring wholeness and understanding to all involved. Visit Gene's Website: Testimonial: I highly recommend Gene Ang's retreats. He is a wonderful facilitator. He brings much knowledge and information and is able to relay that information to all levels of understanding. He is incredibly bright, divinely guided, humble and has a great sense of humor. The retreats Gene gives are valuable and very self empowering. I highly recommend anything Gene is involved with. D.B., Sarasota, FL |
