Relax, reconnect, and recharge along the Nile.

8 Days / 7 Nights Luxor Max 12 guests

About This Trip

This 8-day wellness retreat is designed for women who want to nourish their body, mind, and soul against the backdrop of ancient Egypt.

Begin in Luxor with a private sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings. Spend mornings practicing yoga and meditation in serene temple gardens, and afternoons exploring the world's greatest ancient monuments.

Board a luxury Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, gliding past sugar cane fields, Nubian villages, and hidden temples. On board, enjoy spa treatments, cooking classes with Egyptian chefs, and stargazing from the sundeck.

In Aswan, unwind at a boutique eco-lodge overlooking the Nile cataracts. Visit the Botanical Gardens on Kitchener Island, sail to the Philae Temple at sunset, and close the journey with a sound healing session in a Nubian courtyard.

This trip is about slowing down. No rushing. No stress. Just you, the Nile, and a circle of extraordinary women.
