Nessi Gomes
Born on the tiny island of Guernsey (UK), singing and music became Nessi’s way of dealing with challenging life circumstances. From a young age she discovered the ability to transform discomforts and unspoken emotions by exploring sound and has continued to root herself more and more in the therapeutic value of sonic expression.
Nessi’s creative turning point took place seven years ago upon settling in the community of PachaMama in Costa Rica. The nature of the place has reshaped and deepened her approach towards music, therapy and self-healing.
In the past 4 years Nessi has shared her music and voice retreats in 25 countries. In October 2016 she released her debut album ‘Diamonds & Demons’ and received Best of British Unsigned female artist for that year.
She is a musician, and group facilitator with a BA (Hons) in Creative Expressive Therapies in Music (2007), and a certified Holistic Voice Therapist with The British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST) in Group Voice Therapy (2014).
Vocal Odyssey is a deep yet playful self-inquiry journey of discovery into the mystery and healing forces of our most intimate musical instrument – our voice.
The process aims to pierce through the voices in our heads and to open a door for a new relationship between us and the transformative quality of our vocal expression. To bring us a bit closer to our beautiful, raw, wild and imperfect human flow.

The Adventure Begins in Cairo
November 6-19, 2023
Nights 1-3: Marriott Mena House
Appreciate the true meaning of the word ‘unique’ at the Marriott Mena House, Cairo in a setting that has entranced travelers through the ages, where the timeless majesty of the Great Pyramids of Giza cast their spell. The tranquility and unparalleled panorama have attracted dignitaries and celebrities to this incredible location for 150 years. This hotel merges the incredible heritage of the Pyramids, and Marriott’s high standards and modern innovations. Mena House has 331 luxury rooms and suites (many boasting views of the Pyramids), lavish gardens and a swimming pool, four restaurants and lounges, expansive indoor and outdoor meetings and banquet facilities, a heated swimming pool and a health club.
Surrounded by 40 acres of gardens, the hotel is within walking distance of the Great Pyramids at Giza — the Tomb of Hemon, the Khufu Ship, and Giza Necropolis. It’s less than five minutes by car to the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple of Khafre, and the Pyramids of Queens.
Nights 4-7: Hilton Luxor Resort and Spa
Luxor Resort & Spa, just 10 minutes from Luxor town center and is located in the village of Karnak on the east bank of the lush River Nile. Expect glorious views over the river and the historic city of Luxor. This stylish resort is the ideal base for exploring the region’s historical attractions. Among the eight restaurants and bars, you’ll find fragrant Arabian-style teas and Turkish coffees with waterfront views at Diwan Shisha Café. The sunken Oasis Pool Bar serves tasty drinks.
Nights 8-12: Nour El Nil River Cruise
Named by Forbes as one of the “10 Coolest Boating Experiences for Travelers” 2022 and recognized by Leisure Top Yacht as a “Top Experience to Book”
Propelled by gentle winds, you will discover the many archaeological treasures, magnificent deserts and breathtaking vistas Egypt has to offer.
The Dahabiya is a gentle, quiet, and incredibly beautiful experience, allowing you more time to enjoy unique insights into both ancient and modern Egypt outside the large cities as you drift down the Nile.
These breathtaking boats provide a unique blend of authentic architecture and modern luxury. Each has its own character and atmosphere, but they all have comparable levels of comfort and luxury, as well as savory authentic cuisine made from fresh ingredients purchased each day from farmers and fishermen along the river.
Night 13: Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan
Step into the legendary site where King Fouad once entertained and Agatha Christie famously dined and sipped cocktails; the 5-star Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel. In the Nubian Desert on the banks of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, this majestic hotel sits on a pink granite cliff overlooking the world’s longest river. This stunning property has a legendary guest list of royals and dignitaries, including Tsar Nicholas II, Winston Churchill, Howard Carter, Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter, François Mitterrand, Princess Diana, Queen Noor and Agatha Christie, who set portions of her novel Death on the Nile at this very hotel!
Expect the unexpected.
This excursion is extraordinary in every sense of the word.
You’ll experience soul-stirring moments you won’t find anywhere else!

Dear traveler,
I could say that I have been planning this trip for over a year, but in reality, this trip has been at least five years in the making, and on a grander scale, it is a trip I have been planning since I was a little girl. Like Egypt, planning this trip requires a level of focus and devotion that asks you to step up bigger than you have ever stepped up before. In the past 11 years, I have created adventures worldwide, and no other trip has required the amount of devotion, orchestration, connection, and love as this project.
If you ever want to go to Egypt or have that as a bucket list destination, I encourage you to make this trip happen! This trip has an incredibly high level of luxury, curation, and attention to detail that I promise you will not find again. This is not something I say lightly. This is over a decade of experience sharing that no trip like this will ever happen again on planet earth. Period.
I know that Egypt is preparing us for something miraculous, and I am so excited to see the group that comes together for this experience.
With love and in service,
Vanessa

Mostly...
While we cover the expected gratuities on our scheduled routes and tours, there could be unexpected opportunities to gain access to private areas, and tipping (baksheesh) may be expected. Because of the unpredictable nature of these occurrences, we encourage you to have some cash on hand.
In addition to backsheesh, gratuities that are not included would be for bellhops or any services you choose to schedule, like massages or spa treatments.
Alcohol is not included.
Our intention for this retreat is to focus on connecting with the spirit of Egypt and opening to the unique energy and magic that this sacred land reveals.
So, while alcohol will be available, we suggest minimizing your intake while on the retreat.
Please let us know if there is something you would like to opt-out ahead of time of so we can prepare accordingly.

Hotels:
There is laundry service at the hotels however, please be aware of the time it takes to receive the laundry back.
Nile Cruise:
Unfortunately, we do not have an "official" laundry service on board. That said, we have a small washing machine that our crew uses to wash their clothes. Our crew is happy to wash small loads of laundry for you as a courtesy at no cost. If you wish to leave a small tip for the crew member who does this, that is always welcome but not required. Your clothes will be hung-dry in the sun.
Yes, WiFi is available on both the cruise and at the hotels. While we discourage guests from using WiFi too frequently, as we prefer you'd disconnect and enjoy the beautiful Nile views, the internet is available for those who need it.
The WiFi signal is not always available and is subject to the connectivity available throughout the Nile. Therefore, you should not rely on it to work 100% of the time. That being said, you can use it to email and send messages about 70% of the time.
The following advice applies to women when visiting historical sites: Short skirts/shorts, revealing tank tops, or other potentially “provocative” clothing are not recommended. Unfortunately, this type of dress attracts unwanted attention and can be looked down upon, given that Egypt is a primarily Muslim country.
In general, women should wear long sleeves and dresses in Cairo and cities/locations other than Luxor, Aswan, and Hurgada, where more comfortable and less conservative clothing is more accepted because of tourism. When in these locations, it is still good to adhere to having a shawl to cover up when needed.
The above advice does not apply to the Nile river cruise. You are welcome to wear whatever you want while on the cruise, including bathing suits, bikinis, tank tops, etc. The boat staff are used to serving western clients and are not offended. The boat staff is completely respectful and, most of all, wants you to be comfortable. After all, Egypt can be quite hot at times!
