When Napoleon visited the Great Pyramid in 1798 and spent the night in the King\u2019s Chamber, it was reported that he was powerfully moved by the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Recent political turmoil in Egypt, with President Hosni Mubarak stepping down, has caused much worry about whether it is safe for visitors to travel to Egypt and experience its ancient wonders. Body Mind Spirit Journeys has an Egyptian \u201cJourney to the Land of Ancient Wisdom and Mysteries\u201d tour, hosted by Stephen S. Mehler and Shahrzad Awyan, scheduled for October 15 through 28, 2011. Several of the people interested in this tour have expressed their concern about whether it will continue as planned.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days there have been many very positive signs that Egypt travel is returning to normalcy. It was reported yesterday by Canadian news sources that Canada\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon met in Cairo with Egypt\u2019s new leaders. At the meeting Mr. Cannon pledged to work toward lifting his department\u2019s warning for Canadians wanting to travel to Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s incumbent that the country be able to restore the great tourism industry it does have,&#8221; Mr. Cannon said. He also announced that Canada was giving $11 Million to Egypt to help foster democracy.<\/p>\n<p>When Body Mind Spirit Journeys asked Stephen Mehler about the safety of his up-coming tour, his positive reply was that there may never be a better time to visit Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been predicted that 2011 and 2012 will be years of great change for humanity and the Earth.,\u201d Mr. Mehler explained. \u201cThis has been partially reflected by the revolution in Egypt.\u00a0 We strongly feel that Egypt will now be able to reveal much more of her ancient wonders and wisdom to the world and it may now be the best time to come to this amazing land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Mehler went on to say, \u201cWe will not travel to Egypt unless we are sure it is completely safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To see the full itinerary of his <a href=\"http:\/\/bodymindspiritjourneys.com\/egypt-october-15-28-2011.html\" target=\"_blank\">spiritual Egypt tour<\/a>, co-hosted with Shahrzad Awyan, please go to http:\/\/bodymindspiritjourneys.com\/egypt-october-15-28-2011.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egypt has long been a favorite spiritual travel destination.
