MUT + Luxor

Morning classes and a delicious breakfast will color our morning before we travel to the east bank and visit the great temple of MUT, a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River that once housed 365 Sekhmet statues. The largest Sekhmet found thus far is here in this temple. 

This is in the famous city of Thebes (Waset in ancient Egyptian), the great capital of Upper Egypt during the New Kingdom and the “City of a Hundred Gates”; most well-known for the avenue of human-headed sphinxes of over 1.5 miles connecting Luxor and Karnak. We will walk the row of the Sphinxes from the Temple of Mut towards the Temple of Luxor as the priests and priestesses did in ancient times.

Additionally, we will visit Temple of Man, Luxor for a tour into the body of a Temple mapped in the form of a Human.

Built during the Ptolemaic period by Cleopatra VII, this temple was created in honor of Horus, the Sun God of the Dawn and Keeper of the Secret Wisdom. This falcon-headed God, “the one far above” is the son of Ausar/ Osiris and Auset/ Isis and represents Hope for Humanity.

Edfu was the center of several festivals sacred to Heru/Horus, as well as the hypothesized location of the initiation of the priesthood of Heru/Horus (Shemsu Hor). It is said that each year Hathor would travel south from her temple at Dendera to visit Heru/Horus. This is also the home of the first recorded Ritual Theater Offering Rite.

The day will conclude with a calm and serene sail on the Nebyt Dahabiya cruise.
