You're an independent traveler. You like to set your own daily itineraries and see things at your own pace, lingering at the places that enchant you, giving a quick look at the ones that don't, and dining in any restaurant that strikes your fancy.

We've got just the tours for you. With our Friends Abroad(tm) programs, we help you with the basics, but you decide what daily adventures to pursue.

Before you depart, we'll send you top-quality trip-planning materials to help you plan your day-to-day activities, and to whet your appetite for exploration.

Then we'll make your reservations for a six-night stay at a carefully-selected special-deluxe, deluxe, first class or tourist class hotel, whichever you prefer, with breakfast included daily. When you arrive, we'll escort you from the airport to your hotel.

On your first full day, we'll get you oriented on a half-day city sightseeing tour. After that, you're free to explore, shop and dine as you like. If you'd like to come along on one of our other many organized tours within the city or to other cities, just let us know and we'll arrange it. You pay only for the extra tours that you request.

Our friendly English-speaking Friends Abroad representatives will be on hand every day during your visit to answer your questions and help with any special requests.

At the end of your stay, we'll escort you back to the airport for your flight home.

International airfare is not included in Friends Abroad(tm) rates, but our buying power and special arrangements with several international airlines enable us to get any air tickets you may need at very good prices. Or feel free to use frequent flyer tickets.

Friends Abroad(tm). It's like having your own good friends in foreign destinations. Friends who know their way around, and who can get the best prices on the hotel, breakfast and transportation services you need. It's just another good way to Nubian Cruises!

Guides:

Over the years we've asked our returning travelers "What made
your trip exceptional?" The top answer is always "service," and we've taken
that to heart.

The guides on our tours are the best possible people for the
job: experienced, knowledgeable, professional and personable, exceeding all
national regulations for qualification.

On our Egypt tours and Nile cruises, our guides are certified Egyptologists
licensed by the government. All have university degrees, many of them
Ph.D.'s. In Morocco, guides on our camel caravans and desert tours are local
experts on the Sahara and Bedouin traditions. In Turkey, our city guides are
government-licensed members of the tour guides' guild, and the captains of
our yachts have captains' certification as well as long experience in
sailing the waters of the Turquoise Coast.

We realize that the guide is the key to an enjoyable, memorable travel
experience, so we provide the best .
