Our gay travel and gay tours to the ancient wonders of Egypt and Jordan are unique. We make special arrangements to be allowed into the King's Chamber inside the Great Pyramid and to stand between the paws of the Sphinx, two things that are off limits to the general public. These are only two of the many opportunities that make our journeys special!
Our pilgrimage of gay tours into the wonders, mysteries and sacredness of Egypt. Our time in Egypt was filled with expeditions to temples and sacred sites beginning at the Giza Plateau, continuing to upper Egypt, traveling down the Nile to lower Egypt and culminating back at the Giza Plateau.
Conscious travel through the ancient land of Egypt and her wondrous archeological sights, provides maximum opportunity for disconnecting from daily life and concentrating exclusively on the spiritual aspect of life. This pilgrimage is designed to provide a backdrop for continuing spiritual advancement with like-minded people in a supportive nurturing environment. There is no place like Egypt, and no doorway into her mysteries like a Spirit Journeys pilgrimage.
Don't let the Egyptian government's homophobia frighten you. The Egyptian people love tourists. On our travels we do not visit "known gay hotspots" and nobody knows if you are gay or not. In our many vacations to Egypt not once have we been bothered because we are gay and we have always felt very safe in Egypt.
"It was the best vacation I have had to this day. The Pyramids were fabulous and powerful! Cruising the Nile is the only way to go."

We search for deeper understanding of Egypt's sacred sites and the power they embody as we intensify, cleanse and transform ourselves. To support this end we perform simple rituals at various locations to bring deeper understanding into the core of our beings. As a group we will enjoin in specific meditations and ceremonies to access the hidden mysteries of these powerful sacred sites. Included in the daily schedule, time is provided for group meditation, visualization, journaling and processing of events impacting your spiritual life.
From the moment you exclaim "yes!" to this gay vacation, to the first time you stand on the Giza Plateau and behold the awe inspiring profile of the Sphinx, to your encounters with the Egyptian pantheon of gods and goddesses in the temples and tombs, to the moment you lie down in the initiation sarcophagus of the King's Chamber within the Great Pyramid of Cheops....the pilgrimage unfolds. The intention you hold for this journey is a gift to yourself and to the group with whom you will travel.
This deluxe five-star pilgrimage included lodging at the historic Mena House Oberoi Hotel situated with superb views of the Great Pyramids of Giza and cruising for five days along the Nile aboard a luxurious Sonesta Nile cruiser. We will explore the Sphinx, Saqqara, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Denderah, Abydos and more, with private time, where possible, at several temples including an exclusive ceremony inside the Great Pyramid.
This trip holds the possibility for you to rediscover your own mystical roots! Tap into the wisdom embodied in this sacred and ancient culture, and experience all the flavors and fun of modern Egypt as well. Ride a camel or an Arabian Steed, eat fabulous falafel and enjoy the exotic cuisine. Egypt is your feast, your sensual delight, and maybe your next step in your own self-discovery. A truly memorable experience, and Egypt herself, await you!
"I think the pilgrimage really had an uplifting effect on my life. The energy and benefits of the trip seem to still be unfolding and my soul is grateful."
