allow the sweet nostalgia for ancient wonders to awaken your inner magic!
rediscover your joie de vivre in style
are you ready for the most convenient, hassle-free dream come true?
Egypt is ancient, wild, and untamed and therefore often she feels inaccessible — so I’ve done all the heavy lifting for you! After visiting twice myself and teaming up with local guides and travel experts, I’ve crafted an itinerary with the dreamiest, most adventure-filled whirlwind of experiences — and all you have to do is show up and come along for the ride! The colors, the sounds, the spices, and the vibrancy of Egypt are at your doorstep — and we’ve taken care of every little detail so you can adventure and experience in a carefree, zero-stress way.
This nomadic retreat experience has been carefully curated to allow you to take a deep dive into the magic, the mysticism, and the rich culture of Egypt through visiting three separate locations: Cairo, the North Coast, and the Siwan Oasis. Everything has already been arranged: all meals, adventures, lodging, and transportation — from the moment you arrive to the moment you board your plane to return home at the end of the week!
prepare for your
senses to explode
…as you dive headfirst into a world bursting with ancient mystery, timeless spirituality, and surprising beauty. Together, we will be taken (with expert guides & private drivers) from one 5-star hotel to the next, as we explore everything from the wonders of the Great Pyramids of Giza, the pristine white sand beaches of Egypt’s North Coast, and the rich Saharan culture of the Siwan Oasis.
This retreat will offer an astounding variety of experiences that will ignite your sense of wonder, spark your childlike imagination, and reconnect you with our shared web of humanity. I am so proud of and excited for this wild adventure I’ve crafted — and I can’t wait to share it with you! Thank you for trusting me to show you the world.
OVERVIEW
YOUR retreat LEADER
Hi, I’m Brittany! I’ve been teaching yoga since 2008 and opened The Yoga Underground in 2010. I love the way that traveling gives me the opportunity to practice my yoga off the mat, as it forces me to expand my perspective and see things (and myself) in a new and different way. Traveling has also been incredibly empowering to me; each time I navigate a new airport in a new country, the world opens up to me a little more and I feel so alive! I travel to see the world, but I also travel to see myself — and myself within the world. Our web of humanity is somehow simultaneously enormous but also quite small and intimate. Together, we all want to love and be loved, we want to share, and we want to connect. And in this way we are all the same. We are one.
Leading retreats all over the world has become one of my favorite things to do, as I love watching retreaters’ minds open as they experience things for the first time. I’d be honored for you to trust me enough to show you some of my favorite hidden gems across the world — and Egypt is now at the top of that list!
activities
& excursions
Throughout our time in Egypt, you will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities and adventures, designed to tickle all of your fancies — reconnect with your inner child as you allow yourself to explore and experience things for the first time, all in a safe and supportive group of like-minded humans. Cultivate that sense of childlike wonder as we:
- connect to Egypt’s ancient mysticism through a private meditation with Brittany inside the Great Pyramids during our exclusive before-hours visit (OMG!)
- bask on the white sand beaches of the Maldives of the Mediterranean: Egypt’s North Coast
- float in the breathtaking Salt Mine Lakes of the Siwan Oasis
- off-road through giant dunes of the Sahara at sunset
- soak in Cleopatra’s Bath (yes, where Queen Cleopatra herself bathed!) a natural, mineral-rich fresh water spring

day one
Cairo
As we gather together on our first day in Cairo, we'll spend the afternoon relaxing and resting from our travels! The Swiss Inn Pyramids Golf Resort is a modern sanctuary in the bustling ancient city -- book a massage, lounge by the pool, or rest in your room -- the choice is yours! We'll gather together for dinner to get a good night's rest for the magical morning up ahead...

day two
Great Pyramids
Get ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: we'll wake up early today, for our private, exclusive access inside the Great Pyramids! We'll enjoy a meditation with Brittany, as well as some time to be alone in this ancient wonder of the world. After soaking up all the magic, we'll head to Mena House -- an old palace-turned-hotel -- for a 5-star brunch with amazing pyramid views. The cherry on top will be a camel ride through the desert for dinner under the stars!

day three
North Coast
After breakfast, we'll head to the North Coast: the Maldives of the Mediterranean! (Roughly a four hour drive) We'll stay right on the water, in the Jaz Almaz resort. Enjoy an afternoon and evening by the turquoise Mediterranean, with plenty of time to read and journal and rest and connect. We'll use this as the perfect dreamy pitstop between the hustle and bustle of Cairo and traveling to the wonders of the Siwa Oasis.

day four
Siwa Oasis
Today we'll head to the incredible Siwa Oasis! A favorite of Alexander the Great and Cleopatra, Siwa is the most charming village in the Sahara full of the kindest souls. We'll journey about four hours from the North Coast after breakfast (with pitstops along the way, of course!) and then take a bit of time to relax after checking in at the Shali Lodge in Siwa Village. Then it's on to Cleopatra's Bath for a swim before a traditional dinner, following by a drum circle!

day five
Siwa & Sahara Desert
After watching sunrise from the ancient Siwa Fortress, we'll head back to a beautiful breakfast at Shali Lodge. During the day, we'll have time to wander the shops of the Old City of Siwa, and then it's time for a Sahara Desert Jeep Safari on the magnificent dunes for sunset! Dinner will be spent at the hot springs just outside Siwa Village.

day six
Salt Mine Lakes
After breakfast, we'll head to the Salt Mine Lakes. (You guys, these lakes are somehow the most gorgeous bright turquoise water I've ever seen??) They're all about 95% salinity (just to compare, the Dead Sea is about 34%!) so the floating going on here will be no joke! We'll rinse off at the lakes and then head back to rest/for some free time. Then it's on to the Oracle Temple (the same one visited by Alexander the Great!) for sunset:)

day seven
Jaz Almaz
Back to the North Coast! We'll once again use the Maldives of the Mediterranean as our way to exhale deeply -- this time after our adventures in the Siwan Oasis of the Sahara! Once we arrive to Jaz Almaz, the afternoon and evening will be yours to book a massage, play at the beach, swim, and rest as you desire.
