The VEDA trip on the Nile was not only a journey in the geographic sense but really also a journey that my heart and soul took.

I was not that happy about going but when I boarded the Veda boat in Luxor, I transformed in a second from a frowning person to a smiling one. Such a tastefully adapted traditional boat with all the modern-day comfort and stylish furnishings. Incredible warmth and caring hosts and crew.

The peaceful, serene, majestic nile effects reflect on you. The temples humble you, excite you, capture you, and with the help of wonderful guide Claire even my Teflon skin opened to their wisdom and glory.

I will never forget the trip and every part of me is begging me to return as soon as possible.

I am very fortunate to have attended a VEDA retreat on the Nile last December. It was the best Christmas gift possible: great group, magical Nile, incredible temples. VEDA’s understated luxury, smart cuisine and extremely accommodating staff made the experience extra special.

My personal discovery was the temples. Each temple, turned out, had a unique gift to offer: Isis’ motherly support, Zahmet’s clarity, Osiris’ protection. Connecting with that energy provides support or guidance.

I had the most wonderful retreat with VEDA along the Nile. You are really immersed in its atmosphere as you slowly pass the sleepy river bank villages, local farmers going about their day, and lush green nature while surrounded by the history of the pharaohs past.

It’s not just a retreat with healthy eating and relaxing sessions, it’s a spiritual experience where you are invited to open your heart and mind, if you let go you will leave feeling so uplifted.

I will definitely be back again! Many thanks to the wonderful VEDA team for the amazing energies!

When I set foot on the ship, my world was changed. The sincere joy and authenticity of the team, the powerful serenity of the river, the quality of the rooms with incredible views, it all puts you directly in an atmosphere of total relaxation. The humanity and the delicacy of the attention I could feel touched my heart very deeply, even when I was back home. The experience has changed something inside of me.

VEDA retreats are involved in bringing more humanity into this world, and that makes a difference. It can be felt in every aspect of their retreats. From the organic food that comes from their orchards, made with diversity and creativity, to the meditation classes at dawn on the divine Nile, and the cultural visits with spirit and joy, with very professional people. Along with the retreats, they are supporting the country with humanitarian projects related to education. My body and soul have had a great time!

It was an experience like I never had before. The truth is that time stands still there. It was a total regeneration, a few moments of my life that I will remember forever.
