7 Day Cairo & Siwa Journey
Unwind, Explore, and Reconnect in the Heart of Egypt’s Timeless Wonders
Reconnect & Recharge
22-29th November 2025
Step into the timeless beauty of Egypt and embark on a journey that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and rejuvenate. Experience the wonders of Cairo with a dedicated tour through Egypt’s iconic gems—exploring the majestic pyramids, the ancient streets of Coptic Cairo, and the profound energy that flows through this sacred land. Cairo’s special, vibrant energy will awaken something deep within you, a unique fusion of history, spirituality, and modern life that offers the perfect foundation for this retreat.
From Cairo, you will embark on a 5-day inner and outer journey in the tranquil Siwa Oasis. Nestled in the heart of the desert, Siwa offers a serene sanctuary where ancient traditions and nature’s beauty invite you to reconnect with your true self. Over five days, you will experience daily yoga, meditation, and guided rituals, designed to cleanse and restore both body and soul. Explore healing salt lakes, unwind in natural hot springs, and immerse yourself in the sacred energy of the land, all while participating in transformative ceremonies and activities that support your personal growth.
The Energy of Cairo & Magic of Siwa Oasis
Cairo is a city where you can FEEL ancient energy flowing through its streets. As the heart of ancient Egypt, it is home to some of the most iconic sacred sites, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and ancient temples that resonate with the wisdom of the pharaohs. The city’s spiritual power is amplified by its rich history, with many believing it holds the gateway to the afterlife. These monumental sites create a profound connection to the past, inviting reflection on the mysteries of existence. In Cairo, you are constantly reminded of the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, and the city’s energy inspires introspection, transformation, and a deeper understanding of your spiritual path.
Siwa Oasis holds deep spiritual significance, both historically and in the present day. Located in Egypt's Western Desert, it is considered one of the most spiritually charged places in the country. The oasis has been a sacred site for millennia, revered for its natural beauty, healing properties, and the ancient wisdom associated with it. The oasis is also known for its tranquil environment, with natural salt lakes and healing hot springs that have long been regarded as purifying spaces.
The Siwan people have a deep connection to the land, and their customs and practices reflect a profound respect for nature and the spiritual energies it offers. The isolation of the oasis enhances this sense of spiritual renewal, making it an ideal location for introspection, healing, and reconnection to the earth’s rhythms.

Monday, 24th November — Sacred Sites & Journey to Siwa
Today begins with a visit to Coptic Cairo, one of the city’s oldest and most spiritual districts. Walk through ancient alleyways lined with sacred churches, including the Hanging Church and the Church of St. Sergius. After lunch, we begin our scenic drive to the Siwa Oasis. The long journey (7-8hours) is part of the experience—watch the landscape transform as you leave behind the city and head toward the peaceful stillness of the desert. We’ll arrive in Siwa by evening and settle into our accommodation.
Tuesday, 25th November — Arrival & Opening in Siwa
We’ll start the day with a gentle morning yoga class to ground and center ourselves, followed by our opening circle, setting intentions for the days to come. Today is all about exploring the deep history and energy of Siwa.

The day ends with restorative practices and space for relaxation.
Thursday, 27th November — Desert Adventure & Ceremony
A day of magic and play in the vastness of the Sahara. Begin with sandboarding on the golden dunes, reconnecting with your inner child. As the sun sets, we’ll gather for a Cacao Ceremony in the heart of the desert, inviting ancestral connection and deep presence under the stars. The evening closes with a desert dinner by firelight, sharing reflections, songs, or silence beneath the ancient sky.
Friday, 28th November - Integration & Sacred Pause
After days of exploration, healing, and deep connection, this final day offers space to gently land and absorb the richness of your experience. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit a traditional local hamam (steam bath) — a sacred ritual of cleansing and release, inviting you to soften, unwind, and let go.
Let this be a day of quiet presence and honoring — a soft landing into yourself. A moment to reflect on what has shifted, and to carry the wisdom of Siwa forward with intention and grace.
Saturday 29th November - Travel back to Cairo

Meet Mido: Born and raised in Egypt, Mido lives with one foot in the sea and the other in the sand. Though his heart belongs to the ocean, a visit to Siwa awakened a deep love for the stillness and freedom of the desert. Deeply knowledgeable and endlessly kind, Mido brings a calming, grounded presence wherever he goes. Whether guiding you 30 meters beneath the sea or across the golden dunes of Siwa, he makes you feel safe, supported, and truly welcome.
We met in 2023 during Maja’s very first retreat in Egypt, and something just clicked. From that moment on, we’ve been working together, blending our strengths and shared love for this incredible land. What began as a retreat collaboration quickly grew into a deep and sincere friendship—rooted in trust, laughter, and a mutual passion for meaningful experiences. We love exploring, learning, and holding space together, and we truly believe Egypt has a special kind of magic. We love nothing more than sharing that magic with others and witnessing the transformation it brings.
