Living Life to the Fullest on the Nile

A “Points of You” Workshop | December 3 – 9 2023

Welcome to this unique trip, combining a transformational workshop with an iconic journey!

A very special trip in every way, a cruise down the Nile in Upper Egypt should be on everyone’s bucket list. The program begins with a couple of days in Nubia in Aswan to visit the colorful Nubian villages, the iconic Old Cataract Hotel, and of course the impressive Abu Simbel temple. After that, board a private “dahabeyya” (sailboat) and begin the 4-day cruise towards Luxor. Along the way, visit several ancient Egyptian temples while enjoying the serene rural landscapes rolling slowly by, and even stopping in a couple of spots to take a dip in the Nile. The trip ends with a night in Luxor to visit  the awe-inspiring Karnak and Luxor temples, and the West Bank with the Valley of the Kings.

Against a backdrop of idyllic farming lands and palm tree groves, golden sand dunes, and the blue waters of the Nile, The Points of You “Living Life to the Fullest” workshop will take place for a few hours over three days during sailing time. The workshop uses innovative photo-based tools, and will explore themes of dealing with stress, building resilience in times of uncertainty, and finding happiness in the small things. There will also be several opportunities to discuss one-on-one with  Certified Coach and Counseling Psychologist Sophia Klotsa. You can learn more about the workshop, the Points of You technique, and Sophia Klotsa here.
