KnightsTemplar Tours - Discovery Adventure
No matter what
your understanding is of the KnightsTemplar history or its origins.
Egypt holds certain mysticism as far as Templarism is concerned; man
has been fascinated by Egypt’s history for over a millennia. The
country has been fought over time and time again and the KnightsTemplar’s
have also had their fair share of its wrath and its warmth.
At QEA, we have put together a tour that
will encapsulate the very best of Egypt’s past that it has to
offer plus an insight into what many believe are its origins as well.
We will pass through time as we explore and discover together the hidden
secret’s behind some of its Temples and its Knight Templar ties.
Day 1: Arrive Cairo. Check into Victoria hotel. Introductions,
de-brief on programme ahead, dinner and Templar presentation.
Day 2: After breakfast, we visit the Giza
Plateau and the Great Pyramids that over shadow Cairo. The beautiful
Sphinx and its hidden secrets.
Then it's off to visit the oldest and so called first pyramid, Saqqara
supposedly built by Djoser in the III dynasty (2613-2494 Bc). We will
have plenty of time to walk around the temple complex of this magnificent
site. Evening out in the old market of Khan
Al Khanlili. Full of spices and ancient architecture, the narrow
winding streets leading off in so many directions it’s easy to
get lost in this maze of Bazaars and Coffee shops.
Day 3: After an early rise and breakfast we head out to Memphis
and search the ruins of the old temples to Ptah. Afterwards we will
continue onto the medieval city of Babylon the ancient capital of Egypt.
The churches offer an insight into early Christians of Egypt. And the
possible connections it has with the Templar’s.
Day 4: Transfer by Egypt
Air to Luxor, the home of
Thebes. The most renowned of Egypt’s capitals. Visit and explore
the temples of the West bank including Hatshepsut's
Temple, the Rammeseum,
and Medinat Habu.
Day 5: Today we will visit the famous Valley
of the Kings and have the chance to view the Tombs
of the Nobles. These tombs were cut into the Theban hill side for
the workers and high officials of Thebes for over 3 thousand years,
there are so many tombs that even today they are still finding them.
You never know we might even discover our very own tomb on our way.
After lunch we will then venture out into the Western Desert on foot
and explore the forgotten temple complex of Amenophis III and the monastery
of Malgata. Where Christianity has been preached since the days of Jesus
Christ himself. Look out for the Templar crosses and other emblems on
your way!!!!!
Day 6: Today we visit the East bank and
the temple complex of Karnak,
God’s house on earth as they call it, still the most impressive
of all Egyptian temples, Karnak was built in stages over thousands of
years, no one is quite sure on its true date of origin, one thing is
for certain man has lived and worked on this very piece of land since
the dawn of time. Prehistoric sites have been excavated here along with
various other settlements.
Day 7:
Early rise as we head out into the Western
Desert for the ancient oasis town of
Kharga, here we will explore the ancient burial grounds of the early
Christians, there is more here than meets the eye. Afterwards we head
back to Luxor. Dinner before heading back to Cairo by plane. Transfer
to our hotel for the night and possibly countless conversations about
the week past.
Day 8: Return flight home.
