Yoga Travel
Yoga Travel holidays are a new form of yoga break. We believe that a yoga holiday should be just that - a holiday, and one that includes quality yoga practice. With this in mind, we’ve put together friendly, relaxed yoga holidays set in some of the most beautiful places in Egypt.
As well as daily yoga classes we offer opportunities to shop, scuba dive and try a wide variety of holistic therapies - plus plenty of time relaxing on the Red Sea's wonderful beaches. Our holiday takes us from Cairo to the diving town of Dahab, visiting en route the Pyramids, Mount Sinai and the coral reefs of the Red Sea.
It's an innovative holiday experience that lets you improve your yoga practice as well as seeing some of the most spectacular sights on earth.
We cater for all levels: regular practice means both beginners and frequent students see a big improvement in a short space of time, leading to increased fitness and a great detox.

| Day 1 |
Meet our tour leader and yoga instructors at our Cairo accommodation, the Mena House hotel.
|
| Day 2 |
An early morning yoga session watching the dawn light upon Cheop's great pyramid. Then we visit the pyramids and the Sphinx before some afternoon shopping in Cairo's 'Oxford Street' and the bazaars of the Old City. Alternatively you can visit the famous Antiquities Museum, home to, amongst other treasures, Tutankhamun's gold. Our evening meal is an optional belly dancing show on a sumptuous Nile cruise boat.
|
| Day 3 |
A morning yoga session before leaving Cairo. At lunchtime we arrive at Moon Beach by the azure Red Sea where we stay for the next two nights. Here you can treat yourself to holistic therapies and a massage and perhaps see dolphins from our bar on the beach. Evening yoga session by the sea.
|
| Day 4 |
Early morning yoga session followed by a full day's relaxation. If you're feeling energetic you can try your hand at windsurfing or snorkelling - or just soak up the sun. There are also a possibilities of visiting a hot springs in the desert nearby before our evening yoga session.
|
| Day 5 |
Sunrise yoga session before travelling into the lunar landscape of the biblical Mount Sinai where the Ten Commandments were revealed to Moses. A gentle climb halfway to the summit with our Bedouin guides and camels is followed by a night under the stars in a sheltered nook on the mountain. Evening yoga session in the mountains.
|
| Day 6 |
A morning yoga class as the sun rises over the Sinai before a short ascent to the summit. Then we walk down the mountain (you can take a camel if you wish!) to visit St Catherine's Monastery, home of Moses' Burning Bush. Later we cross the desert to Dahab, our home for the next three days. Evening yoga session in Dahab overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba
|
| Day 7 |
For the next three days we relax in Dahab, a charming and unspoilt seaside town that sits on the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba. Formerly an oasis and meeting point for local Bedouins, today the palm trees cast shade over a host of small beachfront restaurants and shops that look out over the azure sea. We spend four full days here; as well as twice daily yoga there's an opportunity to try scuba diving, holistic therapies, excursions into the desert or just to snorkel, shop, and relax on the beach.
