All participants are required to have a valid passport to be carried on your person or stored safely at all times. It must be valid for at least 6 months post-departure. It is a good idea to photocopy the picture page to carry in a separate place in case of loss and to also keep a copy at home.

Also taking a picture of your passport with your phone and emailing it to yourself is a great way to keep the information as well.

You’ll fly into Cairo on February 1, 2026. You’ll be met by a guide who will help you through customs. Once you have booked your tickets for flights, please send my office your itinerary as soon as possible. Please be on time for the meeting arrangements. If you do find that in the unfortunate event you are delayed, please call my Whats App number or send a text to let me know your plans. Guests arriving or departing outside the itinerary are responsible for their own hotel booking and transport either to or from the airport. I understand that I must send Laurie Wheeler a photo showing that my passport is valid, expiring more than 6 months after the return date. I understand that I will send Laurie Wheeler my flight and travel itinerary to Egypt as soon as I have completed my airfare booking. I will be responsible for ensuring that I have all the proper documentation in order - well in advance of my departure. I understand I am responsible for finding information in my country of residence about the necessary requirements to enter Egypt (visa, vaccines etc.)

A journey of this nature is a financial investment. Trip cancellation insurance can cover your losses on nonrefundable air and land costs on trips cancelled due to personal or family illnesses or unforeseen documented emergencies. It also covers the cost of emergency evacuation from remote areas. A more expensive “Cancel for any Reason” policy is also available.

You must buy trip insurance within 14 - 21 days of the date you send in your deposit (depending on the plan you choose) in order to receive certain benefits, including coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Call Laurie’s office for more information, or check with your personal travel agent.

This insurance only covers US citizens departing from the US. We suggest non-US citizens look for a local agent.

You may also want to check with AAA for insurance coverage.

There are no inoculation requirements for persons with flights originating in the US to Europe. However, it is advisable to consult your physician regarding your personal needs. Doctors and medical facilities are available to us in most places, however we recommend each participant bring their own personal supplies plus any medication needed. Your good health and good physical condition will enhance the experience for you as well as the group.

It is generally very warm although cooler than much of the year. Loose-fitting clothing are helpful for layering in the daytime as we will be doing some considerable walking. Wear comfortable walking shoes, hiking boots or sneakers. A warmer jacket or sweater for early morning and evening. The attire is comfortable and casual.

We highly suggest that you only bring one piece of checked luggage and carry on with you to Egypt and perhaps make provision for an extra duffel bag or buy one for shopping for extra goodies for your return. I always leave space in my baggage. Remember to bring an extra set of clothes and your valuables in your carry-on just in case of loss of luggage. A daypack is often useful and a bit extra storage. This is an area of dusty walking and often cobblestone. A good rule of thumb, if you can’t carry it, don’t bring it! As a note: on pilgrimage, they say “you pack your fears” For a voyage of this type, it’s highly recommended to pack light as it actually aids in the transformational process of letting go. Many people like to buy clothing at the sites as well, so save some room in your luggage. Also, there have been some that have bought extra luggage while there as there are many goodies to bring home.

Please note that the standard voltage is 230 V and you will need a power plug travel adapter for sockets type G for England and Wales, European plugs that have two rounded prongs. You will need an adapter in order to plug in your electric/electronic devices. If you bring an appliance that does not have a built-in converter in the electrical cord (as most laptops now do), you will also need an electrical converter. If you are using a digital camera, you should plan to bring extra memory cards. Hairdryers are provided in most of the rooms.

You will have no difficulty exchanging U.S. dollars into Egyptian currency/pound (EGP). You can do it at the airport and there are ATM’s located close to some hotels we’ll be staying in, although if exchanging at the airport it will cost more. The two best ways to get your money into are to special order them from your bank at least 2 weeks before you leave or to visit an ATM when you arrive. Please confirm with your credit card that you will be out of the country so they don’t do a halt to your card. They will accept debit and credit cards. Many take US dollars as well. Traveler’s checks are a hassle because you are required to show your passport in order to cash them, and many shops will not accept them.

Retreat costs are printed well in advance of our actual travel dates. In exceptional circumstances, the cost of your international trip may be subject to increases which I cannot absorb, due to reasons such as currency fluctuations, fuel costs, tariffs, dues, taxes and fees overseas, the costs of services overseas, additions/adjustments to the tour program, or developments beyond our control. I regret this situation and I do everything possible to avoid surcharges, but sometimes it is unavoidable. I reserve the right to adjust prices before the retreat, as these changes are made known to me. An increase in the retreat prices shall not be grounds for refund of all or any part of payments made towards a retreat and completing the retreat registration form constitutes your acceptance of this provision. So far, to date, this increase has never applied.

It is often different from what most North Americans are used to. It may be not as easy to access organic, whole foods in Egypt. Some vegetarian are available, but choices may be limited. Note: This tour will be taking place in Egypt, and as such anything listed in the itinerary may be unexpectedly closed or changed without notice, but all experiences will be replaced with options of equal or greater value. We have our reservations, so this isn’t of great concern, but to let you know that it can happen.
