- **Event Name**: Ancient Whispers - A contemporary Pilgrimage in Sinai
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 11:00 am (+03:00)
- **Event Description**: Mount Sinai and its surrounding landscape are steeped in spiritual history. For thousands of years, prophets, pilgrims, and seekers have walked these mountains, paused in its valleys, and slept beneath its vast skies. The energy here is palpable, echoing prayers, meditations, and moments of revelation across centuries.

Ancient Whispers is a contemporary pilgrimage, not tied to any religion. Instead, it is about personal reflection, inner guidance, and connection, to the land, to its people, and to yourself.

Over seven days, a small, intimate group of just six participants will walk ancient paths, ascend Mount Sinai, sleep in Bedouin desert camps, and rest by the sea. Every step is designed to awaken your senses, open your heart, and help you hear the ancient whispers that resonate in this sacred landscape.

The name Ancient Whispers reflects the guidance you will hear from the mountains, the desert, and your own inner voice the same principle that guided our Peak District Ancient Whisper's last year, emphasizing listening and connection to the land.

Why This Pilgrimage Is Unique

- Sacred and holy land: Walk where history and spirituality converge. Mount Sinai has been a place of revelation for millennia, offering a landscape that encourages reflection, clarity, and inner listening.

- Intimate group size: Intentionally limited to 6 participants so Azim &amp; Sam can hold space, guide, and be by your side every step of the way.

- Collaboration with Habiba: Moksha Holistic Therapies CIC works in partnership with Habiba, supporting their community, sustainable initiatives, and the indigenous people of this land.

- Authentic Bedouin experience: Travel with local Bedouin guides, learning the stories, survival skills, and traditions that connect people to this sacred land.

- Workshops, integration, and community immersion: At Habiba Beach Lodge, you’ll participate in workshops by Azim &amp; Sam, reflective exercises, visit the organic farm, and meet the Habiba community.

- Cacao Ceremony: On the last evening after dinner, experience a heart-opening Cacao Ceremony led by Azim, designed to integrate the journey and cultivate gratitude, connection, and presence.

- This pilgrimage is about connection, reflection, and presence, allowing the land, its history, and the indigenous people to touch your heart, without requiring adherence to any religion.
