Special Guest :

Nouran Salah

Location: Cairo

Nouran is an Egyptian Muslim woman who is highly educated and well traveled with an extensive resume that includes public speaker, yoga and meditation teacher, art museum curator, non-profit founder, award-winning documentary subject, interior designer, retreat organizer, and “adventuresome warrior of freedom.”

Nouran Salah received her bachelor’s degree in Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication from Egypt’s Modern Sciences and Arts University in 2011. She later received a post-graduate diploma in Interior Design in 2013. In 2019, Nouran received a post-graduate diploma in social entrepreneurship from the Swedish Institute.

Nouran was a project design coordinator for the Cairo Governorate from 2014 to 2018.


The job that Nouran is most celebrated for is being the founder of Bel Bicycle and the Cairo Cycling Geckos. This carefree, nonconformist changemaker shocked the entire nation when she set off to cycle the unfriendly streets of Cairo to distribute free meals during Ramadan in an all-women caravan.

“I never imagined I could do all these things in one project; helping the poor, supporting refugee families, and empowering women by breaking unjustified social taboos, condensing so many messages in one endeavour,” she says. “I felt the country really needed this; I felt Egyptians would really do anything to help better our society.”

Setting off every day before breaking her fast, Nouran Salah took on the daunting streets of Cairo’s slums, cycling through traffic-laden bridges and roads engulfed in garbage, as she lead her all-female caravan to distribute meals for underprivileged people in Ramadan, honoring the festival's principles:


  • To Empathize with the Less Fortunate. ...
  • To Purify the Soul. ...
  • To Strengthen Family and Community Ties.


Nouran will inform and inspire us with stories from her life, experiences as a Muslim woman and the art of having a warrior mindset to create extraordinary good in your own life and the lives of others.

It would be an honor and privilege to fulfil the calling I received by facilitating your 'meeting of self' in divine Egypt.

l offer that you will feel rebirthed, rejuvenated, and restored after experiencing Egypt with me, and embark on the rest of your life with passion and inspired vision, having worshipped the ancient divine feminine force on her sacred land, and awakened this divine feminine force in you, to burn brightly in your heart wherever you path leads.

Your Facilitator:

Fiona Horne

Back in the 90's, Fiona Horne launched a career in the entertainment industry as the lead singer of number one Aussie 90’s electro-rock band, Def FX, before continuing on to author many best-selling books on Modern Witchcraft. She is a popular radio and television personality, appearing on many programs around the world.


Fiona is also a commercial pilot, humanitarian aid worker, public speaker, world record holding skydiver, professional fire dancer, yoga instructor, freediver ... and experienced world traveller. Having lived and flown in the Caribbean for many years and travelled to many countries around the world she is a consumate and relaxed traveller.

At times Fiona has been a household name in Australia and featured on billboards across the USA for one of the original reality shows in 2006 that celebrated her life as a modern witch. Ultimately she stepped away from the limelight and retreated to the Caribbean to forge a new life as a humanitarian aid volunteer, animal rescuer, ultimately learning an entirely new skill at the age of 50, becoming a commercial pilot, working for a private charter company to become it's most requested captain, before the events of 2020 grounded airlines all over the world and saw Fiona return to her roots as a writer and entertainer.


At age 57, Fiona continues to motivate and inspire women from all walks of life with her fearless and free approach to living an unconventional life, not bound by societies' expectations, or parameters of what a woman should, could or would do at any age.

FURTHER INSIGHT ...

Unlike many trips where it is a standard experience offered with the prerequisite exhaustive list of every temple and location to see visits to factories of cotton oil stone masonary and carpet often of tourist quality that can leave you feeling dazed overwhelmed and even numb this is a truly thoughtfully curated and carefully considered bespoke experience of Egypt for the soulful seeker You will visit a selection of temples that resonate with the most potent divine energies of the Goddesses and Gods the Queens and Pharoahs and you You will experience a baptism in the Red Sea the mythic sea that was parted to allow freedom to prevail and you will learn from and share in the strength and resilience of Egyptian women both in the tribe of Muslim feminists in the great city of Cairo and the remote eastern deserts of the Abadada Bedouins Ethical opportunities to bond with the sacred camel will be presented But we will not participate in any activities where animals are not living in optimal health and comfort We will have respectful opportunities to participate in private ceremonies in the most sacred of sites but we will not be using these sites for our own purposes We will be offering worship and respect There will be preparation before and grounding after each ceremony As a group we will endeavor to maintain a responsible and respectful presence in Egypt as conscious and mindful travellers SILENT GUIDE Our Egyptologist will give us information about each sacred site before we arrive In your gift journals there will also be information so that you are well prepped before arrival We will not be standing and receiving information outside a site before entering This is to maximise the opportunity for the sacred locations to reveal themselves to you in the unique way that is aligned with your energies Our guide will be available to answer any questions you have throughout your time at the actual sites SAILING THE NILE We will have a private traditional sailing boat called a dahabaya You may see on tours that sailing on the Nile is offered You have visions of an idyllic experience but you arrive and find you are on a huge floating hotel boat with 100 other guests and your balcony room that you are thinking will give you an uninterrupted view back in time along the Nile looks into another room when three similar boats stack along side when you pull into port and park there for three days Our boat is only for us and it is a sailing boat there is a small quiet tug that will tow us from 500 feet away if weather does not allow a full sail at any time we have our own captain and crew and a flexible itinerary based on what we have planned in advance and what we feel inspired to do in the moment HEALTH AND FITNESS This is not a fitness retreat but it is a time to clear your energies and relax into your life so healthy clean food is emphasized and offered as a priority Yoga activities are not mandatory but will be consistently offered and modified in length and intensity for time of day intention and fitness levels of participants I hope that you would experience the yoga I offer as a way to ease into your physical experience of the inner transformation taking place Think stretching deep breathing energising and restorative practice Although if anyone wants to do a full yoga class with me especially on our dahabaya I will be happy to offer Considering alcohol this is not a suitable experience for the heavy drinker though funnily enough if you smoke heavily no one will frown Smoking is very accomodated for in Egypt and there is always somewhere you can have a cigarette But as far as drinking alcohol if you are a heavy drinker this is also not a trip to decide to go cold turkey But if you are keen to clear your energy you could be prepared to not focus on drinking opportunities We have some early starts and a few long days although I have prioritised time to rest relax and contemplate all that you are learning but I would suggest you come without planning to party Bring what medications you are prescribed as a responsible traveller Egyptian pharmacies are well stocked with basic items also INTIMATE TOUR EXPERIENCE PROMISED It is my sincere promise that there will be no more than 12 guests in our group plus me and our Egyptologist And for portions of our travels owner of Pink Lotus Tours Leisa McInnes will join us to meet you and help me facilitate This is a women only experience to create a safe peaceful space for introspection and reflection and personal evolution There is an emphasis on honoring privacy and personal time as much as we will be sharing a group experience FACEBOOK GROUP There will be a dedicated Facebook group created and available for questions updates discussions and assistance including guides to tipping suggestions for packing and other helpful information to make your experience as seamless and splendid as possible FINALLY Every unique individual will have a unique experience we will be united in our intentions to honor and respect each other learn with and from each other and celebrate each other as an expression of the Feminine Divin
