Testimonials from previous Metaphysics of Ancient Egypt Tours:
“Coming into this tour, I had high hopes, although the thought that spending time with so many new people could be challenging.
What I have found is that it has been so much more. I have found generosity of spirit, a place of openness, a willingness to share and develop ideas. This is amongst our guides, as well as our fellow travelers.
There has been a coming together of common interests in many areas of this great puzzle we call Egypt. While it has only been a short while that we have been exploring together, streaking through days and night, it also seems like much longer.
I will hold so many special moments close. I know I will go home and begin to process this most amazing trip and wonder why I didn’t ask this or that, wish for more. I hope that we do stay in touch. That our lives may intersect again in new adventures.
There are no words to express the gratitude that I feel to be a part of this. I am especially grateful for the alignment that has occurred with Inca Tours and Horus Rising Tours. You are all so amazing in your individual roles, sharing your extensive knowledge, your time, caring and smiles. You have enabled a group of strangers to come together and have the experience of a lifetime.
I believe we are so fortunate to have been on this trip at this time. After all Patricia’s discussions of teaching that our civilization has reached its lowest point of this cycle, I see and feel hope that with people like our group around, the next future cycle will be in good hands.
Special thanks to Ildi and Mo for giving our granddaughter an amazing experience. Your patience with her, teaching language and culture, taking her on an Egyptian tour of dogs and cats has been unexpected but I am sure she (and I) will never forget. You will never know how much it was needed and how much we appreciate it.” JH
“Our gratitude is just the tip of the iceberg (or pyramid) as our appreciation goes far deeper than words could ever express, resonating beyond the beyond ….” JS
A transfer representative will meet you at the airport to assist you with entry formalities, and guide you to the elegant 5-Star Le Meridien Airport Hotel. We will all enjoy a Welcome Dinner together followed by a meeting for introductions and surprises! Overnight Le Meridien Airport Hotel, Cairo (D)

Day 2: Thursday, April 10 – Private Entry into the Step Pyramid at Saqqara and Fly to Luxor
After an early Breakfast we will travel by motor coach to the ancient site of Saqqara where we’ll enter the Step Pyramid on a Private entry.
Under the Step Pyramid is a labyrinth of tunneled chambers and galleries that are said to be 3.5 miles long which connect to a central shaft that is about 7 meters square and 28 meters deep. The entrance to this shaft was built on the north side of the pyramid. The sides of the underground passages are limestone inlaid with blue faience tile to replicate reed matting. These “palace façade” walls are further decorated by panels decorated in low relief that show the king participating in the mysterious Heb-sed festival. We’ll be entering from the North Entrance of the pyramid.
Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a traditional ‘home-cooked’ buffet lunch at the fabulous Blue Lotus Restaurant. Located on a farm near Saqqara, much of the delicious food we’ll be served is grown here or locally. If we’re lucky we’ll see the now very rare blue lotuses blooming in the small pools located here.

Overnight, Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor (Breakfast, Lunch)
Day 3: Friday, April 11 – Dendera and Lunch at Marsum Optional Shopping and Evening free.
After breakfast, we drive to Dendera to visit the incredible Temple of Hathor. The temple at Dendera is one the most significant sites of Egypt and most elaborately decorated temple of its time.
Early texts refer to a temple at Dendera which was rebuilt during the Old Kingdom and the massive foundations probably contain many blocks from the earlier structure. Fragments from earlier periods have been found on the site including one that references the Sixth Dynasty Pharoah, Pepi I.
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.
Hathor tells us that she is the Alpha and Omega, all that is, all that was, and all that ever shall be.
We will be led on a journey of discovery within the Temple of Hathor that can change the way you perceive reality itself. Star maps depicted on the ceilings inside the first Hypostyle Hall, 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.
John Anthony West once called this temple “the Womb of Time”. Hathor, the Netert who personified motherhood, beauty, sexuality, love, joy, harmony, dance and music was known as the Lady of the Stars and symbolizes the womb that gives birth to our perception of time and space. As the ‘Eye of Ra’ she represents the nurturing rays of the Sun required for birth, growth and renewal as well as the fierce rays of the sun that destroy in order to provide a space for new beginnings.
The most distinctive parts of the temple are the fourteen crypts, of which eleven were decorated. These areas were devoted to Lunar aspects of nature and their symbolism contains many keys to the ancient mysteries of Egypt. Many of these formerly closed crypts were recently opened to the public.
The most famous crypt holds the famous ‘lightbulb’ imagery that actually speaks to the birth of the universe. These crypts were used to store cult equipment, archives and magical devices for the temple’s protection, however the most important object kept within them was a statue of the Ba of Hathor. This hidden and most sacred icon was only brought out to receive the first rays of the Sun to celebrate the activation of the ‘rebirth’ of her son, or Sun as a new cycle of potentiality.
There is so much to experience within and around this magnificent temple that we dedicate an entire morning and afternoon at the site. Afterwards we’ll have Lunch at Marsum before returning to our hotel. Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor (B,L)
Day 4: Saturday, April 12 –Temple of Seti I & 2 Hour Private entry into the Osirion at Abydos.
We will leave directly after breakfast to drive to Abydos for our visit the Seti I Temple, and the very ancient Osirieon Temple. 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 as well as the mysteries and implications of the Osiris ‘resurrection’ rituals that are illustrated throughout the temple.
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.
Behind this Temple lies the very ancient and 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, possibly crafted by a Pythagorean School located nearby. Local villagers claim that the water that accumulates in this structure has valuable healing properties.
We’ll have 2 full hours of Private time to experience in this incredibly ancient place of renewal and resurrection.
It is here that several depictions 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. Afterwards we’ll depart for Luxor and enjoy free time in the evening.
Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor, Luxor (B,L)
Day 5: Sunday, April 13 – Optional Sunrise Balloon Ride followed by our visits to Karnak and Luxor Temple at Night
Enjoy the surreal experience of floating over the valleys, temples and lush fields on the West Bank of Luxor on a sunrise Hot Air Balloon rise. Catch the rays of the early morning sun as it illuminates your bird’s eye view of the Nile and surrounding area.
We will leave after breakfast for our visit to Karnak, where we will spend the entire afternoon. An avenue of ram-headed sphinxes leads us into the gigantic complex, which includes temples dedicated to Amun, a Neter representing an aspect or stage of the Sun, and Khonsu, who represents the Moon.
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! We will visit the powerful Chapel of Sekhmet.
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. 
, 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. 
Be prepared to experience a morning you will never forget!The powerful sacred geometric design and natural elements of the architecture itself has the ability to transform and raise levels of awareness and consciousness as you walk through this and other structures all over the world, designed to harness the natural magnetic current emanating from the earth at these powerful sites. 
Afterwards, we will have lunch.
Next, 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 the Luxor Temple- “The Temple of Man” , in a book in which explored the connectedness of ancient Egyptian philosophy, spirituality, mathematics, and science. Lubicz’s theory that the Luxor Temple was designed to replicate all aspects of Man (body, mind and spirit), is well documented and has gained support from many alternative researchers, including John Anthony West.
Overnight at the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, Luxor, Luxor (B,L)
Day 6: Monday, April 14 – Drive to Edfu and Kom Ombo
After an early breakfast we’ll leave for our visit to Edfu Temple. Located on a hill overlooking the Nile, the spectacular Temple of Edfu, or ‘the Place Where Horus Is Extolled’ was dedicated to Horus of Behedet, and is one of the most well-preserved temples in Egypt and most impressive feats of construction completed during the Ptolemaic period.
Embodying much knowledge and wisdom regarding many ancient mysteries, it was built during Ptolemaic times on a site of a far more ancient structure. Edfu houses the famous Building Texts that are said to tell the story of ‘Zep Tepi’ or the first time. There are elements within this temple that point to legends of Cataclysm, Atlantis, the Ark of the Covenant and tales 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.
Depictions of the ‘Festival of the Beautiful Meeting’ marking the celebration of annual reunion between Horus and his consort, Hathor decorate the walls. The festival lasted 15 days from the arrival of the sacred statue of Hathor, which traveled by barge from Dendera to Edfu. Statues of both Hathor and Horus were reunited within the temple sanctuary, where Hathor was symbolically impregnated by her lover and returned to Dendera to bear their son.
The inner sanctuary was the most sacred and important part of the temple that once contained the sacred images of Horus and Hathor that were used in their processions. A shrine, crafted of black granite, it is located in the Holy of Holies and is one of the few remains of an older temple of Horus attributed to Nectanebo II (360-343 BC).
Next we’ll drive on to Kom Ombo temple situated on the east bank of the Nile and dedicated to both Horus the Elder and Sobek (the crocodile Neter), which was devoted to powerful initiations and healing. This Ptolemaic temple, built over earlier structures has two identical entrances, hypostyle halls and sanctuaries, each honoring the roles of these powerful Neteru (gods) that relate to the awakening our senses and raising our levels of awareness. Significant evidence shows that the area has been settled since Predynastic times.
Some have theorized that there were two groups of priests who separately tended to Horus and Sobek. The left side of the structure was devoted to Horus the Elder, relating to Lower Egypt and the right side of the building, associated with Upper Egypt was dedicated to the crocodile Neter.
Two separate sanctuaries of Sobek and Horus the Elder, largely ruined today with little remaining other than the stone pedestals that once held their sacred barques are separated by a secret underground shaft. Egyptologists report that priests would use this hidden place to act as Oracles to pronounce the ‘will of the Neteru’ to their unsuspecting audiences. 
We will speak of the powerful initiations that were once practiced here, and how we can tap into the profound and self-empowering lessons experienced here by the ancients.
There is a large well with a spiraling staircase descending into it which was used as a Nilometer. The indigenous claim that the well, once filled with live crocodiles was used in sacred ceremonies of initiation.
We’ll see remarkable depictions of various medical instruments that are recognized by medical practitioners today as well as an incredible depiction of the seasons of the Great Year.
We’ll check in to our rooms at the fabulous Mövenpick Resort Aswan, located on an island in the Nile and have lunch. Your evening will be free. Overnight, Movenpick (new hotel) (Breakfast, Lunch )
Day 7: Tuesday, April 15 – Morning Free or Optional Abu Simbel OR temple of Isis on Kalabsha Island and Elephantine Island and sunset felluca ride back.
You will have the option to travel, very early in the morning, individually, or as a group to the magnificent Temples of Ramses II and his Queen Nefertari at Abu Simbel on the banks of Lake Nasser.
After lunch we’ll take a Felucca (Egyptian Sail Boat) to Elephantine Island to explore the site that was dedicated to the Neter, Khnum, who was the “master of the mysteries of water”. Scattered throughout this site we find many remnants displaying the superior technologies of pre-dynastic times. The artwork still present is simply stunning. We will discuss the theory that the Ark of the Covenant was once hidden on this island on its journey south to Ethiopia, where many believe it is now.
Overnight, Movenpick (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
Day 8: Wednesday, April 16 – Aswan Quarry, Temple of Isis at Philae and Fly to Cairo.
After an early breakfast, we’ll explore the famous Aswan quarry that is home to the 1,200 ton Unfinished Obelisk, that only a handful of cranes worldwide could lift today.
You will see evidence of several different methods of quarrying stone that can be dated to different time periods and civilizations. Here you will have the opportunity to see the unfinished obelisk, weighing 12 tons, that was commissioned by Hatshepsut and thought to have been abandoned when a crack appeared on the obelisk.
Next we’ll visit the Temple of Isis, originally located upon the island of Philae, but was later moved to save it from flooding in the 1960’s when the Aswan dam was built.
Now sitting on the enchanting Island of Agilkia, the powerful site still marks a place where the Sun attains its greatest declination north and is directly over the Tropic of Cancer at noon on the Summer Solstice. This moment was observed as the initiation of the ancient Egyptian New Year as well as the annual heliacal rising of the star, Sirius, which heralded the beginning of Akhet, the season of the flooding of the Nile.
Isis represented this highly revered star and its annual rising with the Sun was a time of huge celebration. This alchemical marriage held the promise of renewal and rebirth as a ‘resurrection of Osiris’, her consort, who represented the land and its inhabitants. Everyone participated in these ‘rebirthing’ celebrations, which lasted for 14 days. The flood waters brought paramagnetic minerals from the mountains of Ethiopia that were deposited on the banks of the Nile as a rich alluvial black silt. This very valuable black soil or “KMT” (Khemit) for which Egypt was named ensured a rich harvest each year. The flood waters restored the lifeforce to what had become a dry and desolate land.
Isis, the goddess of magic and medicine– and mother of Horus is often depicted wearing the throne, or ‘seat of power’ as her crown, reflecting the matriarchal nature of very ancient times in Egypt. They continued to hold a great reverence for the unconditional love, healing and nurturing power of the mother which she embodied.
After exploring the many aspects of this beautiful temple and island, we’ll take a motorboat to the equally sacred island of Bigeh where we’ll will enjoy a traditional Nubian lunch at the Solaih Nubian Restaurant.
Afterwards will enjoy a traditional Nubian lunch at the Solaih Nubian Restaurant on the island of Bigeh before dricing to the airport for our flight to Cairo. We’ll check into our rooms at the Le Meridien Airport hotel.

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?
Suzan Moore – Geologist
Born and raised on the prairies of Saskatchewan Canada, Suzan developed a keen interest in nature, rocks and stars at an early age. That passion later led her to pursue a Geology degree with a minor in Astronomy. Suzan has been working as a Geologist in Canada for over 40 years. She originally worked in both mining and regional mapping of granites and metamorphic rocks in northern Saskatchewan and the North West Territories. She has been working for many years as a Sedimentological Specialist in the Oil and Gas industry in Calgary Alberta, specializing in the Jurassic of Western North American. She has always had an interest in Ancient Egypt and, since her first visit, returns regularly. After a trip to Peru in 2013 she developed a passion for understanding megalithic structures and the rocks they are carved from which led her to explore their implications in Egypt as well. She is currently trying to incorporate how weathering, time and source of the rocks affect the construction and preservation of many of the megalithic structures.
Suzan offers a unique and fresh perspective on the description,consistency and use of the various types of rocks and materials used in the ancient structures here.
