Salah Amira and Doaa Hindi, founders of Soul Star Retreats — journeys that blend luxury with consciousness, travel with inner balance 🌿
Our story began with a simple passion: to help people pause the noise of life and experience something that reconnects them to their true essence.
From the very first retreat we organized, we knew this was more than just a project…
It was a calling — a mission to create safe and inspiring spaces where people can rediscover the meaning of peace, simplicity, and presence.
Over the past years, we’ve led dozens of journeys to destinations around the world — from Bali to Sicily, from Dahab to Zanzibar — gathering thousands of real stories that have transformed our participants from within.
We believe that true transformation doesn’t happen through words — it happens through experience.
That’s why every retreat we design is a carefully crafted blend of meditation, movement, nature, and community.
Doaa specializes in feminine energy, beauty, and self-connection.
Salah is a coach in consciousness, leadership, and transformational experience design.
Together, we bring soul and mind, heart and expertise — to create a holistic experience that touches the body, emotions, and spirit.
And this exact balance is what every person feels when they join us — a sense of safety, authenticity, and true belonging 💫
Our retreats aren’t just adventures or activities — they’re an invitation to return to yourself, discover your energy, and live life with deeper awareness and a calmer heart.
Every journey with us changes something inside you…
Not just the way you think, but the way you feel life itself.
Our purpose is always simple and clear:
That each person who joins leaves more connected, calmer, and purer within. 🌸
- I agree to attend all sessions and participate in the entire program, and I fully understand that this is a retreat, not a tourist trip, and that this experience is designed for individuals who wish to embark on a journey of awareness and growth, immersing themselves in an atmosphere of meditation, stillness, and self-connection.
- Please refrain from smoking in shared areas, during transportation, and during activities, to ensure everyone’s comfort.
- We kindly ask everyone to practice mutual respect and avoid judgment, negative talk, or gossip.
- Enjoy your time and try to disconnect from social media or using your phone during group activities.
- Your presence during group activities is important — it enriches the experience and fosters a sense of connection.
- We appreciate your commitment to the schedule and showing up on time for each activity.
- Please respect nature by not littering or feeding animals.
- Since you’re on a wellness retreat, we recommend avoiding alcohol consumption. Participation in any activity under the influence or consuming alcohol within the group is not allowed.
- Please don’t mention your job, age, or achievements — we’ll explain why later 😊

**If you choose the double room and are looking for a roommate, our team will make every effort to find a suitable partner. However, in rare cases, the process of finding a roommate may encounter difficulties. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the participant to either find a roommate for the double room or switch to a single room package.

Reviews
A truly beautiful journey that combines detachment from reality, exploration, contemplation, getting to know others, and enjoyable trips.
The Soul Star journey was a fantastical experience that brought together souls of healing from various Arab countries. It aimed to unite us, allowing us to connect with beautiful souls and evolve. It enlightened us on practices of mindfulness and happiness
Beyond all expectations, it was a journey of self-discovery, awareness, knowledge, and contemplation. With genuine and professional teachers, this experience delved into the depths of the self. The souls that accompanied me on this journey will be unforgettable. It was a healing journey for my soul, mind, heart, body, and spirit. I laughed and cried, danced and learned. Thank you for giving me this gift and this exceptional opportunity in my life. I personally benefited from it, and it will greatly contribute to my professional field. Thank you, thank you.
A wonderful journey by all measures, and I will never hesitate to travel again with Soul Star
A very beautiful experience. I enjoyed the companionship, activities, and the overall experience. The spirit and dedication of Duaa and Salah were wonderful
My journey with Salah and Duaa was one of the best and most successful trips I’ve ever had in my life ❤️
One of the most beautiful journeys I have ever participated in, as it combined the joy of tourism with the enjoyment of various yoga sessions. The organization of the trip was more than wonderful and reflected the beautiful spirit of the lovely couple Salah and Duaa
Healthy travel with Soul Star added significant value to my journey.
It was more than amazing
All the love for your programs and journeys
