IMAGINE THIS AFTERNOON

Egypt is about to go dark at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon.

It is just after 1:00 in the afternoon in Luxor.

We're together on the deck of our private yacht on the Nile.

Around us is ancient Thebes — the land of Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings and monuments built thousands of years ago by a civilization that revered the sun.

And then the light begins to change.

The temperature drops. The sky darkens. The moon moves completely across the sun.

And in the middle of the Egyptian afternoon, day becomes night.

For more than six extraordinary minutes, we'll stand together beneath one of the rarest astronomical events any of us will ever experience.

I've been traveling to Egypt for more than 40 years. This will be my 28th trip.

I have stood inside the Great Pyramid, between the paws of the Sphinx, inside the tombs and temples, and along the Nile more times than I can count.

But I have never experienced Egypt like this.

None of us has.

And we will never have another opportunity quite like it again.

Join us.

This isn't an Eclipse Tour with Egypt Added to it.

It's an Extraordinary Journey Through Egypt -- With the Eclipse as its Crowning Moment.

But there will only be one journey like this.

We've created an intimate 15-day experience combining the extraordinary power of the eclipse with the Egypt that Richard and I love — private access, sacred ceremony, extraordinary ancient sites, beautiful accommodations, our own yacht on the Nile, and a small group of like-minded travelers who are drawn to Egypt for something deeper than sightseeing.

Our own private yacht.

We've chartered the entire 10-cabin Merit Star 2. No strangers aboard. No other tour groups. No competing itinerary. For this journey, she is ours.

Private time inside the Great Pyramid.

Two hours with the doors closed to the public, including time in the King's and Queen's Chambers for meditation and ceremony.

Private access between the paws of the Sphinx.

We'll enter an area ordinary visitors cannot access and have it privately for our group.

Private time with Sekhmet at Karnak.

We'll enter the sacred space dedicated to the lioness goddess for a private experience and ceremony.

A spiritual journey through Egypt.

We won't simply tell you when a temple was built or which pharaoh built it. We'll explore the meaning, energy and mysteries of these places and create opportunities to experience them in a much deeper way.

A small group of like-minded travelers.

This isn't a bus filled with strangers. Our yacht has only 10 cabins, creating an intimate experience with people who are drawn to the mystery, spirituality and magic of Egypt just as you are.

karnak - the largest temple complex ever built, and where totality falls at 1:04 in the afternoon.

Ours Alone

We've chartered the entire Merit Star 2 — a beautiful dahabiya-style yacht created for intimate travel on the Nile.

For eight extraordinary nights, the Merit Star 2 becomes our private home on the Nile. Imagine waking up to the timeless beauty of the river, enjoying wonderful meals together, relaxing on deck as ancient Egypt drifts past, and sharing this extraordinary journey with a small circle of fellow adventurers, who already eellike friends. There will be no other passengers aboard.

And on August 2, that very same yacht becomes our private viewing sanctuary for one of the most extraordinary celestial events of our lifetime.

No other tour groups sharing the deck.

No strangers determining when we leave, where we stop or how long we stay.

For this journey, the yacht belongs entirely to our group.

And most importantly, this is where we plan to be on August 2 when the eclipse reaches totality over Luxor.

We'll gather together on deck as the moon moves across the sun and the Nile Valley falls into darkness around us.

Of all the places in the world to experience this eclipse, I cannot imagine anywhere more extraordinary.

I’ve traveled all over the world and I have to say my trip to Egypt with Sedona Soul Adventures was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. It brought me into self realization and believing in myself. I now know in my heart that everything is possible. Even six months later, I’m still putting together pieces that happened there and applying them in my everyday life and growing every day.

Inside the Great Pyramid

TWO FULL HOURS - CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

Most visitors to Egypt move through the Great Pyramid surrounded by tourists and on someone else's schedule. We'll have something completely different. The Great Pyramid will be closed to everyone except our group for two full hours.

We'll have private time in both the King's and Queen's Chambers, creating space for meditation, ceremony and simply being still inside one of the most mysterious structures ever created. Also, we'll take those who wish into the Pit.

For many of the people who have traveled to Egypt with us, this becomes one of the most profound experiences of the entire journey.

Between the Paws of the Sphinx

PRIVATE - CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

Millions of visitors have photographed the Sphinx.

Very few have ever stood here.

We'll enter the restricted area between the Paws of the Sphinx, with the space privately reserved for our group. The feeling of looking up into that inscrutable face is other-worldly.

We'll gather there for ceremony and reflection in a place that has watched over the Giza Plateau for thousands of years.

It's one of those moments when Egypt stops feeling like somewhere you're visiting and becomes something you're experiencing.

Sekhmet Temple, Karnak

PRIVATE - NO OTHER TOURISTS

Hidden within the vast Karnak Temple complex is a small sanctuary containing an extraordinary ancient statue of Sekhmet, the lioness goddess associated with fierce feminine power, healing and transformation.

We'll have this sacred space privately for our group.

This sacred place is only available to the privileged few who arrange a private visit. We'll have time to become quiet, connect with the energy of Sekhmet and experience a ceremony together.

My first visit here in 1983 changed my life; I heard voices for the first time, what I understood to be direct spiritual guidance. Will it be a life-changing experience for you?

I was laying inside the sarcophagus, singing, and feeling the sound move through me as if my whole body were lifting. I imagined thousands of voices doing the same in ancient times, helping guide kings and queens into the heavens. It was one of the most profound spiritual moments of my life.

EXTRAORDINARY EGYPT. BEAUTIFULLY DONE.

Five-Star Luxury in Cairo. Eight Nights on Our Private Yacht. Extraordinary Experiences Every Day.

Transformation doesn't require roughing it.

In Cairo, we'll stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence, combining five-star comfort with an ideal location for exploring Giza and Cairo.

Then we'll leave the conventional Nile cruise experience behind and board our own private yacht, the Merit Star 2, which becomes our home as we travel through Upper Egypt.

It's the best combination I know: extraordinary ancient experiences by day, followed by beautiful surroundings, wonderful food and time to relax, connect and absorb everything we've experienced.

Who's taking you there

This will be my 28th trip to Egypt.

Debra Stangl

Founder, Sedona Soul Adventures

My love affair with Egypt began in 1983. And now, 43 years later, I am preparing for my 28th trip to this extraordinary land.

I've been guiding spiritual journeys through Egypt since 2004, and I can tell you that the experience never gets old. Every time,I return, I discover something new. Every time, Egypt touches me in a way I never expected.

In 2002, I founded Sedona Soul Adventures after a profound spiritual awakening led me to leave my 20-year career as a divorce attorney. Since then, I've devoted my life to creating experiences that help people discover who they truly are.

And Egypt holds a very special place in my heart.

I know its temples, its sacred sites, its mysteries, and the remarkable people who help us create experiences most visitors never even imagine.

But this journey? With the eclipse, our private yacht, and an extraordinary small group?

This is something I've never experienced before.

And I would LOVE to share it with you.

Richard Kepple

Co-Leader, Sedona Soul Adventures

Richard spent more than 30 years building technology companies in Silicon Valley before a stroke changed the direction of his life.

That experience led him on his own profound spiritual journey, eventually bringing him to Sedona — and to me.

We married in 2017, and since then Richard has been my partner in life, our work at Sedona Soul Adventures, and in our adventures around the world.

This will be his 11th trip.

Together, we've spent years exploring these extraordinary ancient places, creating beautiful experiences for our travelers, and sharing our fascination with the mysteries of Egypt.

Andrew says the Egypt trip "was truly amazing and beyond my wildest dreams! If you ever want to go to Egypt, traveling with Sedona Soul Adventures is the absolute best decision you could ever make!"

The Egypt trip was truly amazing and beyond my wildest dreams! I can't express how supportive it felt going to a foreign country with EVERYTHING already taken care of. The transportation, the hotels, the dining, the excursions, the itinerary, the private entries & VIP treatment, our tour guides, and so much more were all expertly managed and well beyond any expectation. I felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire time. If you ever wanted to go to Egypt, traveling with Sedona Soul Adventures and Debra is the absolute best decision you could ever make!

Here's where we're going — and why each place matters.

Cairo, Giza & Abu Simbel

Jul 25

Depart JFK on EgyptAir, flying nonstop to Cairo — the beginning of our extraordinary journey into the mysteries of ancient Egypt.

Jul 26

Arrive in Cairo and settle into the Four Seasons First Residence. That evening, we'll have a very special dinner with our longtime friends, the Fayed family, in their home overlooking the Sphinx.

Jul 27

Our first immersion into ancient Egypt: the Pyramids of Giza, the Giza Plateau and the Valley Temple — standing in the presence of monuments that have captivated humanity for thousands of years.

Jul 28

Journey to Saqqara to explore the Step Pyramid, one of Egypt's earliest monumental structures, and descend into the mysterious Serapeum, home to enormous ancient stone sarcophagi whose origins and purpose still inspire wonder.

Jul 29

Fly south to magnificent Abu Simbel, one of Egypt's most awe-inspiring sacred sites, carved directly into the mountainside by Ramses II. Then we'll board our private yacht, the Merit Star 2 — ours alone — and begin our journey along the Nile.

The Nile, by Private Yacht

For eight extraordinary nights, the Nile becomes our home — sailing through ancient Egypt aboard a yacht reserved exclusively for our small group.

July 30

Visit the exquisite Temple of Isis at Philae, dedicated to the beloved goddess of love, healing and divine feminine wisdom. Then we'll return to our private yacht and sail north along the Nile, arriving at Kom Ombo for a magical evening visit to the temple after dark.

August 2 - THE DAY EGYPT GOES DARK

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE — FROM OUR PRIVATE YACHT ON THE NILE

Aug 2

Eclipse Day

The moment we've come for. Together aboard our private yacht on the Nile at Luxor, we'll watch as the moon moves across the sun and the Egyptian afternoon turns to darkness. For more than six extraordinary minutes, the sun's magnificent corona will glow above us as we witness one of the most breathtaking celestial events of our lifetime.

We'll honor this extraordinary moment with sacred ceremony, embracing the powerful symbolism of darkness giving way to light, endings and new beginnings, and the opportunity for profound personal transformation.

A moment we'll remember forever.

Aug 3

Sail to Dendera for our journey to Abydos, to visit the sacred Temple of Seti I, dedicated to Osiris and long considered one of ancient Egypt's most important places of pilgrimage, rebirth and transformation. We'll also see the Osirion, where the Flower of Life is located.

Aug 4

Our private visit to the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, one of the most beautifully preserved temples in Egypt. Dedicated to the goddess of love, joy, beauty and feminine energy, Dendera is a place where ancient color, symbolism and mystery are still astonishingly alive, as they have removed the dirt and grime to reveal the incredible colors from over 2,000 years ago. We'll do a special ceremony in this incredible place.

Aug 5

Experience magnificent Luxor Temple, once connected to Karnak by the Avenue of the Sphinxes and filled with layers of symbolism, ritual and ancient mystery. Then enjoy our final time aboard the yacht that has been our private home on the Nile.

THE GRAND FINALE: THE SPHINX & GREAT PYRAMID

Aug 6

Explore the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, home to some of the greatest treasures ever discovered in Egypt, including the extraordinary collection of King Tutankhamun.

Aug 7

Our final day is one very few travelers will ever experience.

After lunch overlooking the pyramids, we'll enter the restricted area between the Paws of the Great Sphinx for our own private time and ceremony.

Then, after the Great Pyramid closes to the public, the doors will close behind us.

For two extraordinary hours, the Great Pyramid will belong only to our group, with private time inside the King's and Queen's Chambers for meditation, ceremony and whatever this ancient place has waiting for us.

For those who wish, we will also take you into the Pit. There can be no more powerful way to complete our journey through Egypt than to be inside the Great Pyramid, just us, connecting with this incredible energy.

Depart Cairo for our nonstop flight to JFK, returning home with memories — and transformations — that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
