Unlocking the secrets in the Temples – Crotalo has taken many people through Egypt and experienced transformational shifts both personally and with his groups. There are codes of sacred information stored in the Temples that need to be unlocked. If you would like to have the opportunity to experience a truly valuable spiritual awakening, this is the pilgrimage for you.
Private Initiations & Meditations – One of the most enticing aspects of the trip will be the private visits of the Great Pyramid (Cheops) & Philae Temple, where we would have time to deeply connect to ourselves.

The Temple of Seti, however, was built on new ground to the south of the said temples. Continue to Dendera to explore, The Dendera Temple Complex covers an area of 40,000 square meters ( sq. ft.), and is surrounded by a large mudbrick wall. Within this enclosure are various structures, including the Temple of the Birth of Isis, a Roman mammisi (attributed either to the reign of Trajan or Nero), a sanatorium, and a sacred lake. It was made famous by a carving that many believe depicts an electrical lightbulb. Nevertheless, the most impressive part of the temple complex is undoubtedly the Temple of Hathor. The Temple of Hathor was largely constructed during the Late Ptolemaic period, specifically during the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. Later additions were made during the Roman period. Although built by a dynasty of rulers who were not native Egyptians themselves, the design of this temple has been found to be in accordance to that of other classical Egyptian temples, with the exception of the front of the hypostyle hall, which, according to an inscription above the entrance, was constructed by the Emperor Tiberius.

Located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the city of Luxor (ancient Thebes), Hatshepsut’s temple is part of the Theban Necropolis. Built in a half circle of cliffs, this memorial temple marks the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. Djeser Djeseru (holy of holiest) is the name of the main building of the temple of Hatshepsut.
After that we visit “The Valley of The Kings“, considered as the royal cemetery with 64 tomb, and is located on the west bank at Luxor. The only entrance to this place was a long narrow winding path. This was a secret place, where sentries were placed at the entrance of the Valley, as well as along the top of the hills, in the hopes of discouraging tomb robbers, who had in the past plundered all royal tombs, including the treasures of the Pyramids. We will spend our first night on board Dahabya.
