Thank you for signing up for an adventure with Wild Women Expeditions! 2016 is our 26th season offering a wide variety of outdoor adventures and we've had the pleasure of welcoming thousands of women on canoe and kayak trips, multi-sport adventures, hiking trips and yoga retreats. My first trip with Wild Women, long before I became the owner/Director, was a week of kayaking on the North Channel of Lake Huron in Northern Ontario. It was my first kayak trip and I was so nervous, but excited! That trip turned out to be one of the most empowering experiences of my life, and now kayaking is one of my greatest passions. I trust that you too will find your Wild Women adventure to be a joyful and empowering experience and seize the opportunity to grow as an outdoorswoman and build your confidence in the wild. This trip info package provides you with all the essential background info about your Wild Women trip. If you have any additional questions, please be in touch with us any time and we will do our best to ensure that you are comfortable and ready for your adventure! A desire to share our love of the outdoors, our sense of adventure and be in the company of other spirited women is what brings us together. This is the fertile ground that has produced and deepened many incredible relationships over the years, and keep so many Wild Women coming back again and again. We are proud that almost half of our trip participants this year are returning Wild Women 'members'. So I warmly welcome you to the Wild Women community and look forward to connecting with you, seeing your pictures and hearing the stories of your upcoming adventure!

Also please review the WWE Waiver and Booking Terms & Conditions prior to your trip. Trip Description A brightly colored scarf snaps in the evening breeze. A scent fills your nose – something so spicy sweet it tickles your throat…while the heat hugs you like a thick cloak. You have always wanted to come here – to a land so utterly foreign, that you feel wildly awake. This place leaves you wide-eyed, your senses so keyed your stomach flutters with butterflies. You are in the ancient land where Isis and Cleopatra reined, where Hatshepsut and Hathor were the Divine feminine powers. This place practically vibrates with herstory. And despite everything you may have expected, you can feel a woman’s power here, in a way you’ve never quite experienced before. As you climb aboard your Dahabiya yacht and glide down the crystalline waters of the Nile, you pass the ghostly ruins of ancient temples. The sultry air hangs heavy, and you watch the sails ripple in the wind– realizing this is the exact same way travellers from the 19th century made their way through these winding waters. Everywhere, something is stirring. A man dips a camel’s mouth to drink – the skirt of a Sufi spins wildly in a shock of color – a belly dancer’s hips snake in the shadows. And yet, Cairo somehow still bursts with all that is expected of modern life. The Pyramids of Giza a mystical landmark looming over the landscape and the ancient Avenue of the Sphinxes awaits you with its watchful eyes. Clouds appear to have dropped from the sky, and powdery tornados seem to have ceased their swirling – frozen in place. But don’t expect to just float through this experience like a tourist in a turban-tying competition. This is a chance to really learn about this land – to meet the women artisans of Aswan…to hear the stories first hand of what life is really like for a contemporary, Egyptian woman. And if you still don’t feel the power of this place – sit before the Blind Girls Orchestra – a chamber orchestra composed entirely of Egyptian women without sight. Listen as they blast through a Mozart piece with wild, fearless joy as you feel the strength of those long ago goddesses swirling by your side… 2 What’s Included All meals from dinner Day 1 to breakfast Day 12 11 nights accommodation in 4/5 star hotels and comfortable Dahabiya cruise boat All in country travel, including return train Cairo-Luxor Egyptian guides Airport transfers All entry fees to museums/temples and activities listed in the itinerary What’s Not Included Pre trip accommodations (nights before Jan 4) or Post trip accommodations (nights starting Jan 15) Alexandria and/or Jordan/Petra Extensions Round Trip International Airfare or other travel to the trip destination Travel Insurance (Medical/Evacuation coverage required) Personal clothing, gear and equipment Any expense of personal nature (souvenirs, alcoholic drinks or drinks not included with meals, laundry services etc.) Tips (for your guides, drivers, hotel staff) 3 Itinerary Details Trip Joining Information Joining Wild Women Expeditions Egypt Adventure Arrive into the Cairo International Airport on January 4, 2016 before 5pm local time In the arrivals area, look for Wild Women Expeditions and/or your name on a sign.

  • ETHNOBOTANY of W NE As MEDICINE in the ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN WORLD
    THE ETHNOBOTANY of W NE as MEDICINE IN THE ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN WORLD By Mark Plotkin, PhD, LHD “Wine [is] one of the oldest, perhaps the oldest, of all medicines.” –S.P. Lucia, MD (1963) Wine is not only one of humankind’s most ancient drinks, it also may be the first recorded medicine.1 It is not merely a beverage but has served as an analge- sic, antiseptic, menstruum (solvent), soporific (seda- tive), valuable economic commodity, water purifier, social lubricant, and even an inspiration. Wine is, for some, the ultimate creative juice. In fact, this author proposes that wine, and the wine grape (Vitis spp., Vitaceae) from which it is prepared, has played a greater role in the evolution of human society than any plant other than cereal grains. Many people associate the beginnings of wine culture with the Greeks and Romans of the ancient Mediterranean world. However, this is incorrect, both biologically and historically. “Catching a buzz” from alcohol from fermented fruits did not originate with the Greco-Roman world of 2,000 years ago and did not even begin with our own species. Alcohol consumption presumably predates the emergence of Homo sapiens by millions of years, since fermented fruits are known to be consumed by insects like bees, butterflies, and fruit flies, birds like cedar waxwings and robins, and mammals as diverse as bats, chimpan- zees, elephants, howler monkeys, and tree shrews.2,3 Undoubtedly, a complete list of animals that experi- ence altered states induced by alcohol from fermented Photo ©2021 Matthew Magruder fruit would be much longer.

Microbiology Dept., Fac. of Agric., Damietta University, Damietta, Egypt 2Dairy Dept., Fac. of Agric., Damietta University, Damietta, Egypt Abstract The fungal counts on Ras cheese samples obtained from ripening rooms of different factories from were determined. The lowest total fungal count was in Akel's factory samples, but El-Eman's factory was the highest count being 0.8×105 and 1.6×105 colony forming unit/gram (cfu/g), respectively. A total of 66 fungal isolates were examined in this study. The classification position of obtained fungal isolates were classified in three families (Endomycetaceae, Mucoraceae and Trichocomaceae), 6 genus and 13 species as following Geotrichum candidum, Aspergillus ochraceus, A. alliaceus, A. oryzae, A. niger, A. nidulans, Emericella nidulans, A. flavus, A. glaucus, A. flavipes, Penicillium sp., Mucor sp. and Rhizopus stolonifer. Most of fungal strains were found in El-Ashmawy's factory and Abdo Gohar's factory being 7 strains, but Akel's factory and El-Eman's factory were lower being 5 species and the last were El-Safa's factory and El-Faiomy's factory being 4 strains belonging to the genus Aspergillus being A. ochraceus; A. oryzae; A. niger and A. glaucus. A. oryzae was observed in all factories except Abdo Gohar and El-Eman's factories being 39.39% while the other strains were attributed according to their percentages.

  • Demonic Beings in Ancient Egypt Introduction
    IAJFTH Volume 4, No, 1 2018 ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ Demonic Beings in Ancient Egypt Manal B. Hammad Introduction According to the ancient Egyptian religious concepts, the world was inhabited by six groups of superhuman beings; nTr (god), nTrt (goddess), Ax (male spirit), Axt (female spirit), nswt (King) and nsyt (queen).1 These categories were first followed by the humans in the royal domain who were in turn followed by officials, foreigners and then finally by commoners.2 These groups which were included in Onomastikon of Amenimopet, 3 were considered to be part of the ordered cosmos. As for demons, they were excluded from these groups; not because they were nonexistent, but rather because they were beings of chaos.4 While, there is a collective term indicating the gods (nTrw) in ancient Egypt, which is the exact correspondent of the Greek „theos.‟5 There is no collective term in the ancient Egyptian language that is equivalent to the English word Demon,6 which was originally driven from the 1 GARDINER, A.H.

  • Sunshine Wine on the Nile
    chapter 15 Sunshine Wine on the Nile Nicole Hansen Introduction In his 1982 work Weinstudien: Untersuchungen zu Anbau, Produktion und Kon- sum des Weins im arabisch-islamischen Mittelalter, Peter Heine devoted a chap- ter to wine production methods. While he collected valuable evidence, he treated wine production across Arabic-speaking countries as undifferentiated, giving short shrift to regional variations. He also relied solely on lexical texts and poetry to reconstruct the methods of wine production.1 This approach is not surprising, for the study of the early Islamic period in Egypt has been traditionally based on non-documentary textual evidence. However, such texts alone only give us a small part of a bigger picture. Archae- ology is the study of the traces left behind by human activity. While not neces- sarily as deliberate an act of leaving a record as writing a text, these traces are important for our understanding of history. Equally important for supplement- ing our knowledge is art, a non-verbal alternative to textual documentation, but similar to textual sources in that it is a product of the human hand and a human desire to record information for future consultation. Finally, ethnographic evi- dence, or in the case of this article, the observations of early European travelers to Egypt, is invaluable. Five years after Heine’s work appeared, an early Arabic cookbook was pub- lished, which forms the focus of this article: the Kitāb al-Ṭabīkh of Abū Muḥam- mad al-Muẓaffar ibn Naṣr ibn Sayyār al-Warrāq. It was probably compiled in the second half of the tenth century ce in Baghdad.

  • Kharga Oasis and Thebes: the Missing Piece of the Puzzle in the Relocation of Amen Worship in the 27Th Dynasty?
    Kharga Oasis and Thebes: The Missing Piece of the Puzzle in the Relocation of Amen Worship in the 27th Dynasty? Michinori OHSHIRO* I will introduce the temples in the Kharga Oasis that are known to have worshipped the Theban god Amen. This indicates that the principal god Amen or Amen-Ra temporarily moved from Thebes, the traditional religious centre in the Nile Valley, to the Kharga Oasis where he had a strong influence. The evidence shows that the Persian kings in the 2~ Dynasty, especially Darius I, discontinued construction activity in Thebes and instead built some huge structures in the Kharga Oasis. This, combined with the fact that the institution of "the God's Wife of Amen" disappeared from Thebes at the same time, possibly indicates a large-scale migration of people from Thebes to the Kharga Oasis. Such a migration created a unique Amen adoration in Kharga and Darius I willingly allowed the worship of Amen because Amen was a sun god with a ram's head- much like the Persian Royal family's own motif. Keywords: Kharga Oasis, Thebes, Darius I, Amen, Persia, Hibis Introduction The Nile Valley received various materials and information from the surrounding areas throughout Egyptian history. This is obvious from burial goods that have found in Abydos or Saqqara in the Predynastic Period such as lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, 1 carnelian from the Persian Gulf region and silver and wine in pottery from Palestine. Incense such as olibanum and myrrh for cult activities, ceremonies and funeral rites came to the Nile Valley via Nubia.
