Itinerary
Day 1, Wed., Apr. 29: Arrive at Cairo International Airport. With your Meet & Greet service, you will
be personally met and assisted through Immigration & Customs, transported to the deluxe 5-star
Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel in the energy field of the Great Pyramid, and assisted with check-in.
An early evening orientation and meeting with Kawika*, followed by a group welcome dinner.
(Please plan to arrive in Egypt no later than 12 noon, allowing adequate time to go through
Immigration, Customs, drive through Cairo traffic, and check into your hotel. (If you wish to

Day 2, Thu., Apr. 30: Experience the mysterious Sphinx during your specially arranged
sunrise private visit with special government permission.
Return to your hotel for a leisurely breakfast.
Visit Saqqara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, considered by many to be the first pyramid.
This pyramid and the massive structure around it, designed by the architect/physician Imhotep
(circa 2700 B.C.), were not only the first large stone structures in the world, but today they still
constitute the largest stone temple complex on earth. You gain entrance into the mysterious
Serapeum, tombs to the sacred bulls, a rarely visited site here. (B/L)
Day 3, Fri., May 1: This morning experience the Great Pyramid, the greatest site of transformation
on the planet! With special government permission, explore the Great Pyramid during private
time, only your group.
Return to your hotel for a leisurely breakfast.
After breakfast, enjoy an extensive tour of the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the
largest, most complex collection of ancient treasures and artifacts in the world.
Among the historical treasures housed in the GEM are Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus along with all
of the 5,000 artifacts that were found in his tomb when it was uncovered in 1922, and a 30-foot-tall,
3,200-year-old statue of Ramses the Great. (B)

relief planisphere depicting a combination star map and astrological chart. Be immersed in the
potent healing energies in the small temple to Nut, the sky goddess.
