Guided Journeys— Where wellness meets wonder

Fall in love with how your life expands

Samira's retreats combine movement and mindfulness practices, deep cultural immersion, and the kind of insider access you can't find in guidebooks. Small groups, beautiful accommodations, and experiences that are both indulgent and meaningful - this is travel that expands your world while strengthening your foundation. Embark on adventures that create space for discovery, connection, curiosity, and renewed perspective.

Beyond Typical Travel

Cultural Bridge-Building, Not Surface Tourism
With over 25 years as a professional cultural dance artist and deep relationships across the MENAHT region, East Africa, and beyond, Samira brings you to the must-see destinations AND the hidden places only locals know. Learn traditional crafts from master artisans, share meals with families in their homes, and experience cultures with respect and genuine connection.

Movement Woven Throughout
Daily practices range from gentle mobility work and core strengthening to meditation, nature hikes, and cultural dance. Everything is adapted to all levels and designed to help you feel good in your body throughout the day's adventures - whether you're exploring ancient medinas, trekking through rose valleys, or riding camels into the Sahara.

Exceptional Value, Intimate Experience
Small groups of 8-16 people ensure personalized attention. Samira handles every detail with care, and when the unexpected happens (and it always does), you're in the hands of someone who makes everything okay. Past travelers say, "I would travel with you anywhere." And many keep coming back for multiple retreats.
