After so many years I have finally decided to organize a group to Egypt. You all know the love and connection I have with the country. This trip will be very special, as I want you to know about Ramadan in Egypt and be able to attend a unique event that takes place once a year in Cairo. In addition, we will also be able to bring material and donations to families from Gaza, refugees in Cairo.

Here you can watch videos of the event 👇

For those who book the group I will give you my digital 📚 book:
