Templar Travel Tours, as advertised by The Why Files | The Basement , offers true VIP tours in Egypt.
This past May (2026) I went on a tour with Timothy W. Hogan, author and the Grand Master of the Templar Collegia and the Order of the Temple of Secret Initiates (OTSI), and SABA Tours tour guides who did an amazing job!
This was truly a lifechanging experience that comes around once in a lifetime. The members of the tours are like family members and all parties involved are now my Ohana.
The Hotels were all 5 star, as well as the meals and restaurants, and tours and overall experience. Truly amazing places with magnanimous people. I missed the Sphinx and step pyramid the first couple of days, and an event or two in-between, but still caught most of the tour with my fashionably late arrival. Places I was honored to have visited were:
- The Grand Egyptian Museum
- The Great Pyramid of Giza (3 Chambers)
- The Serapeum of Saqqara
- Tomb of Senenmut
- Temple of Sekhmet
- Valley of the Nobles
- The Osirion – Abydos
- Elephantine Island
- Aswan, Egypt
- Luxor Temple
- Karnak Temple
- Crocodile Museum
- Kom Ombo Temple
- Edfu Temple
- Dendera Temple of Hathor
- Nile River Boat Rides (Hotel Stays)
Some of the amazing hotel we stayed at were:
And some of the amazing restaurants we ate at were:
- 139 Pavilion
- El Dokka Restaurant
- Porto Sonu
- The Local (at Honolulu Airport)
