Egypt
Adventure
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Sakinah Retreats is a faith-based organisation dedicated to helping Muslim women rediscover inner peace, spiritual calm, and deeper connection with Allah through intentional travel and reflection. Their retreats blend cultural exploration, spiritual grounding, sisterhood, and personal transformation in safe, supportive, and halal-aligned environments.
The Discover the Wonders of Egypt retreat is a multi-city exploration of Egypt’s rich Islamic heritage, ancient wonders, and soulful landscapes, curated to balance spiritual reflection, cultural immersion, historical discovery, and group connection. Participants are guided through a thoughtfully paced journey that includes reflection sessions, meaningful discussions, and time for quiet introspection amid some of Egypt’s most iconic sites and river-side settings.
