El Bagawat Tombs

The Oases in the Western Desert, I really love them. The Kharga Oases is one of the biggest and used to be an important stopping place on the Road of 40 days. This road has been notorious in the olden days, as there has been transportation of slaves between the 2 countries: Egypt and Sudan.

The oases itself is beautifull and has a winding energy.

The following photos were taken in the chapel of peace, a domed ceiling mortuary tomb in the coptic cemetry of El Bagawat,in the westen desert near kharga, the images represent stories from the bible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a special place, as the energy is really strong and can bring back memories from past lives. But maybe even more important the place is full of spirits.

Next Western Desert tour commences on 22th December 2012

I have had so many enjoyable experiences in the western desert with my guests, on this photo we can see a guest pushing the old mill in the ancient town of Al quasr. These are just a few of my Western desert trip photographs on flickr

Two journeys through Egypt, the physical one and the inner one of the soul

Experiences of Egypt from one of my guests:

On arrival in Cairo I was not that happy, what a smell, noise and bustle,, you know I live in the quiet Haspengouw in Belgian Limburg where everything is calmer and quieter than anywhere else, so this was a bit of a shock and yet I am also glad that I have encountered at first hand, I thought it was so chaotic traffic but I looked and felt a terrible surprise that in all the chaos of hundreds of honking cars, donkey carts behind, pedestrian ways, and there no more accidents happened, yet I felt at ease in our van, we had a very good chaufeur, we visited the Egyptian Museum, the pyramids and the sfinks and we began the first meditation, here I did not feel really ease, then I had little experience with meditation;

After 2 days we left for the western desert, what a relief, back fresh air and silence around us, we stopped at noon to a source which could also be bathed, it was delicious, our small group and our guide, Ibrahim, have now drafts with full training, then we got a meal offered by the Bedouin who was highly popular, even the delicate atmosphere that hung in the oasis I first learned about the energy balls (orbs) in the photos, I still think this is something unheard of, are really balls of energy....

the white desert,, waauw,, great,, the first night under the open sky I will never forget the middle of the night I had to pee urgently, so I was just looking to move to a hill behind pee but when I looked around me I was still very quiet, many stars I had never seen the light of the stars reflected yet again on the white sand, I felt at that very moment such a small speck of our world....

The next day we went to the magical well at faraffa and it was here I had a very profound experience that caroline has guided me very well, I managed to overcome my fears and I will never forget this experience;

The last evening in the desert with a meditation on a hill, it is always better to meditate, the desert has an incredible influence on me and I really didn't want to leave the desert and go to Luxor.

In Luxor, we visited the temples and always meditated, some temples created a strong impression, and here again we have caroline always well managed;

I also liked this trip is that you came in contact with the lifestyle of the Egyptians (I think if you make your cruise so much less experiencing it), you must be there to take you over also in contact with our poor hygiene but I did want to;

We have also had contact with English women who lived in Egypt, we were even invited to an English tea hour, who would ever have imagined that we would experience in Egypt, was very pleasant

and now our journey has come to an end..........and yet

I have the impression that I did 2 tours, a first trip to the beautiful Egypt, but certainly also an inner journey.

This is a priceless journey, which we have had experiences that are not in monetary terms, thus caroline thanks for this unforgettable journey;

Poetry and inspiration of the Western Desert by Charlotte Taylor

A poem inspired by the desert...

Lost opportunities
where nothing can grow

Like a desert
open empty space
under a scorching heat

Full of Fata Morgana's
Wells, never discovered
never explored

By night
velvet soft touches
full of slow dreams

You and I
love finanlly
come down to earth

By Charlotte Taylor

Charlotte was one of my guests on the last Western Desert Trip and sent me this poem, Fata Morgana that she refers to means a mirage, so she means the wells were a mirage. The word mirage, is french, from the Latin mirare, meaning "to look at, to wonder at". This is the same root as for "mirror" and "to admire". The painting is also inspired by the desert of Egypt and the egyptian gods and is painted by my friend lorraine

My next trip into the Western Desert begins on 20th December 2009

Western Desert for meditation relaxation and bedouin spa treatments

We are following in the footsteps of the ANCIENT EGYPTIANS who travelled to DAKHLA for their healing where traditions have continued throughout the whole Pharonic age, as well as the Ptolemaic, Roman and Christian eras right up to the current day, kept alive by the Bedouin who have lived there since prehistory.Our next trip into the western desert begins on 20th december 2009 - so contact me caroline dekker if you would like to be a part of this group trip on triadetravel@gmail.com


The springs and wells in the desert contain iron, magnesium, sulphur and chloride in their healing waters. The heat of the water, combined with the minerals and trace elements is what gives the waters their healing powers. For those interested in meditation, (guided) meditation can be added to the itinerary and the desert is a wonderful place to do this, as it rests the mind immediately.

The treatments and healing waters of the desert are specifically recommended for people who have problems with:

Rheumatic disorders - Stomach problems - Colds - Kidney stones - Bone pains - Lung problems

BEDOUIN HEALING TRADITIONS - Our Bedouin healer continues to study old and new methods to continuously increase the efficacy of his treatments. The treatments include water massage, aromatic oil massage and either red clay body wraps or sand bath treatments (the choice between the latter two depends on the specific complaints of the guests and the season: sand is not possible in winter as it does not get hot enough). These treatments are deeply cleansing and relaxing. They remove stored toxins from the body, alleviate pain and give the skin a wonderful softness and glow.

Our treatment days take place at a very, very hot spring where water is piped up from deep under the desert floor to get the best healing effects and ingredients possible. This is a fantastic experience of a lifetime to assist HEALING & RELAXATION, Using the NATURAL RESOURCES and lush nature of the DAKHLA OASIS in the WESTERN DESERT of Egypt. Life in the oasis is wonderfully restoring in its simplicity, the emptiness of the desert with its wonderful views landscapes clear our mind body and soul. The next trip with Caroline Dekker commences on 20th December 2009

Please remember that this is a Bedouin Spa Adventure, not a sanitized spa experience with white walls, soft fluty music and fluffy towels. It is an amazingly fun and healing experience in the fabulous natural western desert setting!

So come and join us to feel healed, refreshed, relaxed… and full of the magic of the Western Desert of Egypt!
