Program

Yoga, meditation, and horse riding

Ride beautiful horses across the desert. Experience the perfect blend of serenity and adventure. Enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the desert as you practice yoga and breathe deeply.

Day 1: Arrival in Cairo

As the plane touches down in Cairo, a world of enchantment awaits you. Step onto Egyptian soil, where the history and the vibrancy of the present come together. From the bustling streets to the iconic landmarks, your adventure begins the moment you step onto Cairo's land.

Meet the team from Desert Dreams and your travel partners. Enjoy your local meal with a great view of the Pyramids. An Egyptian dinner is like a flavor explosion. The vibrant colors, bold spices, and aromatic herbs come together to create a unique sensory experience.

Day 2: Giza horse riding and transfer to Siwa

for a riding adventure. Experience an open space desert where several gallop opportunities await you. Marvel at the grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

This ride is on many equestrians' bucket list. No wonder why - imagine riding through the golden sands with the view of the iconic Pyramids (the ride is 1.5 - 2 hours). After the ride, Desert Dreams will take you back to your hotel, where you can freshen up, have your lunch, then get ready to check out and transfer to the magical Siwa Oasis.

The drive will take approximately eight hours. Dinner will be served in Siwa at the guesthouse.

Day 3: Yoga and half day desert ride

Start your morning with a serene yoga practice and meditation. The environment will encourage you to clear the mind and feel inner peace. Immerse yourself in your practice without the distraction of daily life. You decided to break free from your usual routine, to reduce stress and allow for self-reflection and personal growth. You will be on this journey with like-minded people.

After your morning yoga practice, have your breakfast and get ready to discover the Great Sand Sea on horseback. Get ready for a four to five hours' exhilarating riding adventure. Explore stunning landscapes and witness the natural beauty of this enchanting place.

It is hard to describe the feeling of galloping across the open desert, but you will have the chance to experience this. Desert Dreams will just say it here: the "Yalla" feeling. When your guide says this magic word, suddenly, the wind will rush past you and you and your horse will move swiftly across the endless stretches of sand.

The local horses are called Baladi horses, a unique breed that originated in Egypt. With their elegant movements and flowing manes, Baladi horses are a sight to behold. These horses are known for their courage, power, intelligence, and their kind nature and willingness to please. There are so many great stories about how these horses were loyal to their owner.

Horses were so important to the Bedouins. They kept the mares in their tents, which explains why they are connected with humans on a different level. They are the best companions for a long desert trail.

Day 4: Jeep safari tour and desert yoga

Enjoy your homemade traditional breakfast, then get ready for a full-day adventure in the magical land of Siwa - a thrilling off-road experience. Your experienced driver will take you on this adventure. The desert landscape will unfold around you as you drive deeper into the desert, rolling sand dunes, rocky formations, and vast expanses of golden sand.

Climb the sand dunes and enjoy panoramic views or perhaps try sandboarding. Lunch will be served in the desert. Before sunset, you will arrive at your yoga spot far from the light pollution and civilization.

Practicing yoga at sunset can enchant the experience. The golden tone of the setting sun against the desert landscape is truly a breathtaking view. The soft sand and the open space creates a sense of freedom and openness. Let this transformative experience help you to connect with yourself on a deeper level.

Day 5: Ride to Oracle Temple and yoga

Try some local dishes in the morning, have your coffee and tea then get ready for another wonderful day. After breakfast, you will depart from the guesthouse and ride to Oracle Temple, where your guide will accompany you to discover its history.

This ancient temple is linked to the famous Oracle of Amun. There, ancient seekers sought wisdom. It is believed that pilgrims once traveled from across the ancient world for guidance. It is also surrounded by a serene landscape.

In the afternoon, a yoga and meditation session awaits you.

Day 6: Shali Fortress, Salt Lakes, and desert ride

After breakfast, you will drive to the Shali Fortress and the Salt Lakes, where you will get the chance to swim. These lakes are known for their high salinity, which will allow you to lay back and float effortlessly. The scenery around the lakes is mesmerizing - lush palm trees and greenery with the bright blue and white salt formations.

This will be more than just fun. The salt has therapeutic effects known for benefiting the skin and the body. It is also believed that it can help relieve various skin conditions and promote relaxation. After your morning adventure, freshen up at your guesthouse and get ready for a desert horse-riding adventure to the Great Sand Sea.

Day 7: Morning yoga and transfer to Cairo

Enjoy a morning yoga and meditation session. Practicing yoga in the early morning as the sun rises can be magical. The cool morning air and the soft rays of the sun create a calming environment. Start your day with mindful movements that will help you build awareness of your body and surroundings.

Reflect on your travel and adventure, and the new friendships you have made. Embrace the present moment and the journey in this magical landscape. The gentle whisper of the wind will help you to breathe in all the positive energy and to allow yourself to be in the moment.

After check out, Desert Dreams' driver will be ready to take the group back to Cairo. Overnight stay will be in Cairo.

Day 8: Departure

Have your breakfast, then check out from the hotel. ​As you say goodbye to Egypt, remember the new friendships that you’ve made and the cultural experiences that have enriched your life.

Take a moment to look back on your photographs and souvenirs, which will remind you of the incredible adventures that you’ve had. Hopefully, Desert Dreams will see you for another adventure.
