This centre is uniquely placed amongst the green fertile fields on the West Bank of the Nile, at the head of the Valley of the Kings . It is on the land that sited the ancient city of Thebes and is only 15 minutes away from the present day bustling city and Temples of Luxor, with the international airport only 25 minutes away.

Just 100 metres along the road are the great statues of The Collosius of Memnon that stand before the Temple of Amenhotep III . This is one of the main sites in Egypt for current archaeological excavation.

Just 5 minutes by taxi are 'The Valley of the Kings', 'The Valley of the Queens', the worker's village, The Temples of Hatshepsut, Medinet Habu, Seti 1 and Merenptah and the Museum.

The largest Temple site in Egypt is Karnak which is located across the Nile just 20 minutes away with Abydos, Dendara, Edfu and indeed the desert within a day's trip. By taking a one hour flight to Cairo , you can take in the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.

A flight south would take you to the great temple of Abu Simbel. This is also possible by making a 2 day trip by road.

For those of you who feel a pull to this ancient land, here in this sacred space, you will feel the fulfilment of your dream. This place still holds the serenity, power, majesty and magic of the Pharonic times. The wisdom, the connection to the stars and spiritual heritage are all still here for those who have eyes to see it and the openness to feel it.

Here is not just a beautiful land, but a doorway into a new perspective on life away from the clutter of Western living. The land is magical and abundant, the temples powerful and inspiring, and the people open and friendly. Apart from taxi and faluka, the word you will hear most often here is "Welcome".
