This trip with Dina was truly more than I ever expected. She put together a crew that was extraordinary. Every detail was thought out and beautiful. More than anything, it was a gathering of women that supported one another through their collective journey through life, in a setting that was magical, restorative, and adventurous. It really was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had in my life.

I was lucky enough to come to Egypt. This has been a life-changing experience. The Dahabeya has been incredible; the wellness part of it, finding yourself, connecting to yourself, really connecting with the Ancient knowledge and Ancient Egypt. Something I will take with me forever; and I can’t wait to do it again. It was on my bucket list, and it will certainly go on my bucket list again.
