Day 2 November 5th Saturday Flight to Luxor and Temple of Luxor at Night
We will meet in the lobby of the hotel for our 10 AM departure. We will have lunch at a restaurant nearby, before proceeding to Cairo Airport for our domestic flight. Upon arrival in Luxor, we will check into our DELUXE NILE VIEW ROOMS at the fabulous Steigenberger Nile Palace hotel.
This evening we’ll depart for Luxor Temple for our sunset visit. We will explore the mysteries of the enigmatic Luxor Temple in the early evening. Linked to Karnak Temple by the Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor Temple utilizes similar patterns of sacred geometry in its design. After 15 years of intense study, Alchemist R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz called Luxor Temple “The Temple of Man” in a book in which he explored the esoteric depth of ancient Egyptian philosophy, spirituality, mathematics, and science. Schwaller’s theory that Luxor Temple was designed to replicate all aspects of Man (body, mind and spirit), is well documented and has gained support from many researchers.
Patricia will share much about these design elements of the structure, its symbolism –and inherent power when she takes you to a unique place where you can experience the energy of an inter-dimensional portal.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor
Day 3 November 6th Sunday Temple of Hathor at Dendera
The breakfast buffet will be open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. We will depart for Dendera Temple at 9 AM. Underneath the entrance gate into the Dendera complex is the only place you will see the underbelly of the winged scarab beetle. Indigenous wisdom keeper, Abd’el Hakim Awyan taught that this meant you would be entering a place that held the answers to all the mysteries of the universe. Patricia will lead you on a journey of discovery within the Temple of Hathor that can change the way you perceive reality itself.
Hathor tells us that she is the Alpha and Omega, all that is, all that was, and all that ever shall be.
Star maps depicted on the ceilings in this temple, and the replica of famous Dendera Zodiac (the original is displayed at the Louvre in Paris) point to the ancient origins of astrology and superior knowledge of our universe. Hathor (Het-Hert), the Neter who personified motherhood, beauty, sexuality, love, joy, harmony, dance and music was often associated with the planet, Venus. She was known as the Lady of the Stars, and represented the nurturing solar food of the Sun’s rays, required for birth, growth and renewal.
Lunch at Marsum
Patricia will present a lecture on Ancient Egyptian Mysticism at 6 PM this evening. Dinner on your own.
Breakfast and Lunch included Overnight at the Hyatt Regency Cairo West Hotel, Giza
Day 4 November 7th Monday – Temple of Khnumn at Esna and Sunset Felluca
After an early breakfast, we’ll leave in our motorcoach to visit the temple of Khumn in Esna located on the west bank of the Nile about 34 miles south of Luxor. An Egyptian-German archaeological team has been restoring the temple revealing dazzling inscriptions, reliefs and colors on the ceilings and walls of the temple. Built of red sandstone, the temple is dedicated to Khnum, his consorts Menhit and Nebtu, their son, Heka, and theNetert (goddess) Neith.
Breakfast & Lunch included Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor
After breakfast we will meet in the lobby at 9:50 AM to check out and meet for our 10 AM departure to the Cairo Airport for our flight to Luxor.
Breakfast & Lunch included Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor
Day 05 November 8th Tuesday Karnak and the Precinct of Mut- Tutankhamen Opera at Hatshepsut’s Temple on Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
Enjoy the breakfast buffet at the hotel at your leisure, before we meet in the lobby at 9:00 AM for our departure for Karnak Temple. At Karnak Temple we will explore the grounds and have some private time in Sekhmet’s chapel. An avenue of ram-headed sphinxes leads us into the gigantic complex.
In the open air museum we will have time to enter the chapel of Amenhotep I, which is completely made by Alabaster and has amazing resonance.
Next we’ll visit the powerful Chapel of Sekhmet to visit the great Mother. She is alive…and has a message for you. Sekhmet personifies the solar rays that provide the electromagnetic energy required to sustain life and the earth’s grid. As the lioness, she symbolizes the powerful and fierce, yet protective love, akin to that of any mother. Sekhem , means “power” and Sekhmet is the magnetic spark that provides the necessary ‘energy to perform what we have been told are mystical, magical and powerful feats, including the healing of the physical body. She is the Life Force.
After our continued exploration of the temple, we’ll leave to visit the incredible Precinct of Mut.
Afterwards we’ll have a late lunch and return to our hotel.
Tonight we leave for the West Bank for the exclusive showing of the new Tutankhamun Opera at the temple of Hatshepsut, promoted to be a ‘global event’ and celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. We will have incredible seats (to be announced soon) for this spectacular event on the night of the Full Moon.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor
Day 06 Wednesday, November 9th Temple of Seti I at Abydos
The breakfast buffet will be open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Please be at the hotel lobby at 7:50 AM for our 8 AM departure for Abydos, to visit the temple of Seti I. We will discuss the significance of the symbolism as we experience the masterful craftsmanship of the beautiful depictions that cover the walls of the ancient Seti I temple that is dedicated to Osiris.
We’ll discuss the surreal story of Dorothy Eady, later known as Om Seti, who had memories of a past life at Abydos from early childhood and came to live in Abydos to work side by side with and enlighten the early excavators about many of the ancient mysteries regarding the temple.
We’ll discuss the mysteries and implications of the Osiris ‘resurrection’ rituals that are illustrated throughout the temple. Behind this Temple lies the megalithic Osirion, similar to the Valley Temple in Giza. It is here that several illustrations of the Flower of Life can been seen on the huge pillars. Local villagers claim that the water that accumulates in this structure has valuable healing properties.
We’ll have lunch at the House of Life before returning to Luxor.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor
We’ll depart early in the morning to visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the most well-preserved temples in Egypt.
This temple, that embodies many mysteries, was built during Ptolemaic times on a site of a far more ancient temple. Here we’ll discuss the significance of the story of ‘Zep Tepi’ — the first time, Atlantis, the Ark of the Covenant and the legends of the Shemsu Hor, said to have been demigods that lived for 6,000 years between the reign of the gods and the first Pharaohs.

Optional Extension:
Featured Speaker:
Patricia Awyan – Horus Rising Director, Speaker, Researcher, Explorer, Symbologist, Spiritual & Intuitive Life Counsellor and Artist
Blessed to have been raised by parents who allowed me to express myself intuitively, in a beautiful isolated and natural environment in Bucks County, PA., I began my exploration of the Nature of this Reality from my early childhood. Driven by a lifelong passion to know why we exist and what our purpose is, my quest led me to the in depth study of the esoteric sciences as well as the physical sciences, mathematics, comparative religions, ancient literature, mythology, art history and symbology.
Having worked as an Architectural Artist for several years, I learned much about the energetic nature of structure, and about Color Theory and how we experience the world around us through our visual sense. I explored the physics of Color further, as well as the principles of digital technology, when I worked as a Color Specialist and Senior Account Manager, marketing digital copiers, printers and software.
All of this was an incredible preparation for the level of research that the Khemit School is currently undertaking. The Neters, Mythology and Symbolism of ancient Khemit all combine to give us a brilliant vision and understanding of the nature of our reality, and how we eternally cycle through dimensions and stages of consciousness. They have given us an alchemical map for how we can work with these natural and holographic archetypal energies and patterns – in order to traverse these portals in this NOW moment.
But it doesn’t stop there! My journey has taken me to places all over the world; Spain, France, India, Scotland, England, Ireland, Peru, Bolivia, Lebanon, Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand, only to discover that there was a very ancient civilization, worldwide, that left these same clues…with different labels and icons—but, all virtually telling us the same story of who we are and where we came from. It’s an exciting time to be alive! Humanity is beginning to walk through a powerful portal together where our potential for living in harmony and unlimited self-empowerment will be heightened to new levels
As your intuitive guide and speaker throughout our journey together, I will relate the secrets of the symbolism and mysteries of the ancient Khemitians to the Shifting Energies of our current reality, as we enter this New Life Cycle, referred to by the indigenous, as the Age of Kheper or what many call The New Dawn. I will speak about the Pantheon of Egyptian Neters (gods and goddesses), who symbolize aspects and/or forces of nature with multi-dimensional meanings and significance– including being representative of the 360 senses that the indigenous say we all once had. What are these Senses—and how can we RE-member them?
