About this activity
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival at Cairo Airport
Stop At: Giza, Giza, Giza Governorate
Our local Representative will meet you at the airport, help you to obtain visas, walk you through customs and out to our Coach. Depending on traffic, it’s roughly an hour to the historical Mena House Hotel in Giza, directly across the street from the entrance to the Great Pyramid.
Duration: 1 hour
Meals included:
• Breakfast
Accommodation included: Overnight at the historical Marriot Mena House, located directly across from the Giza Plateau
Day 2: Private Visit inside Sphinx Enclosure + Giza Plateau + Solar Boat Museum
Stop At: Pyramids of Giza, Al Haram Str., Giza 12611 Egypt
We begin with a private sunrise visit to the Great Sphinx enclosure. (It is not open to the public.) We spend about 2 hours in the enclosure and around the Sphinx and it’s adjacent temples. There will be discussions about the work of John Anthony West and the ‘Water Erosion’ hypothesis, the ‘Lost Civilization’ theory and the Rosicrucian tradition. Feel the energy between the paws of the sphinx and examine the dream stele up close.
We work our way (walking) up the Plateau, past the Old Kingdom tombs of nobles and notables, toward the pyramids. There is more important evidence along the way (e.g. Tomb of Khentkaus, a Queen of Menkaure, the builder of the Third Pyramid). Also, because few tourists visit these places, we’re on our own and get a good visceral sense of what Egypt was like in those distant times.
Up on the Plateau, around the pyramids, there is a lot more evidence (architectural and geological) for the ‘Lost Civilization’. We will examine huge, 200-ton paving blocks we could barely move today, etc. Two distinct masonry styles two distinct building periods…
This takes us to between noon and 1 PM, depending upon how much input we get from group members. There are always lots of questions and if anyone in the group has expertise relevant to and/or complementing my explanations, discussions can be long, lively, detailed and instructive.
Then we visit the so-called “Solar Boat” of Khufu. This amazing, intact funerary boat is both a demonstration of the extremely sophisticated woodworking techniques in place 2500 BC and also of the power and wisdom of anchoring the spiritual quest in the material/physical world. As soon as the spiritual quest is relegated solely to the intellect, as is generally the case today, it becomes abstract and effectively ineffective.
Lunch is included. By now it’s 3 PM, and that’s enough for most of us! The rest of the day is free. It’s always been a time to get some (non-obligatory) shopping in. This can be arranged with our Egyptian guide, Sohaila Hussein. My mentor, John Anthony West dubbed her “The Goddess of Shopping”. (Overnight Mena House) (Breakfast)
