It’s a go!  We just unveiled…the ARISE Retreat in Egypt for 2024!!!

We have just opened the doors to the October 2024 ARISE Retreat, a Sacred Journey to Egypt. A five star adventure and transformative retreat that offers you an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery and cultivate new insights through introspection and engaging conversations. 

All whilst experiencing a handpicked exclusive, curated tour across the most magnificent sites and ancient wonders of Egypt.

We understand the dissatisfaction that can arise from the mundane aspects of life. We recognize that there’s a yearning within you for something more, a desire to break free from the monotony and embrace a life filled with excitement, purpose, and fulfillment. 

We empathize with the feeling of being stuck in a routine that no longer serves your highest potential. We’ve been there - done that and it’s no longer acceptable to live our lives in that way. This is why we created SHE Rises Travel.

We believe that life is meant to be vibrant, dynamic, and full of meaningful experiences. We understand that you crave a sense of adventure, a deeper connection with yourself, and the opportunity to explore new horizons. It is this understanding that fuels our passion to create transformative travel experiences for women like you.

Through our carefully curated journeys, we aim to provide an escape from the ordinary and an invitation to embrace the extraordinary.

Having collectively worked with 1000’s of women across the globe as empowerment and leadership coaches we truly understand the process of transformation. Our retreats are designed to help you to tap into your inner strength, cultivate self-love and embrace your true potential.

This exclusive transformative retreat includes 5-star accommodation, incredible cultural visits to museums and villages, air-conditioned private transport, a customized selection of ancient sites and temples to visit, four days and nights on the Nile aboard the 5-star Esmeralda, a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, sailing on a traditional felucca craft and dining in grand Egyptian style venues. 

A dedicated Egyptologist will be with us all the way that will inspire you even more as he weaves the stories of the Pharaohs and Queens and shares the tales of this ancient land. We have included additional value all across the way!

All of this, plus a deep enriching retreat program to tantalize the senses from within and without. The itinerary, inclusions, and more about the ARISE retreat are below. 

Also, please take note of the additional bonus offer. For those coming to Egypt with us, we are inviting you  to join us after the retreat for our additional/ optional 5 day holiday in Dahab by the Red Sea. Give yourself the gift of integrating all that you have experienced throughout our 12 day retreat, then relax and enjoy  shopping, swimming, snorkeling, eating, resting and being in good company!

With our extensive experience, you can trust that you are in capable hands. Our strong partnerships with our local Egyptian travel provider guarantees a secure, customised and personalized luxury experience during your time abroad.

Join us on this incredible adventure and let's make your travel experience truly remarkable.
