2 JOIN ME FOR A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME ABOUT YOUR ESCORT: I have been a travel agent for over 30 years and have been fortunate enough to travel to many exotic and wonderful destinations, by myself and with great groups of ladies. I have chosen to take Ladies Groups as there are so many ladies out there, who for whatever reason have not got a likeminded travelling companion. I have previously escorted seventeen Ladies Only Groups to Egypt and Dubai in the last fourteen years and all the girls have had a wonderful time. There are so many new friendships formed and the majority of my repeat passengers have started with me doing this trip. ABOUT YOUR TOUR: I guess to sum up this tour - after being there so many times recently, I never get sick of going back! It is safe, the hospitality is outstanding and the sights will remain with you forever. It is a big statement from me but it is possibly my favourite destination. I will be escorting this tour. DUBAI THE CITY OF MERCHANTS Dubai was originally a tiny fishing village. The city was established as a trading centre in the mid 19 th century and quickly became the region's merchant trading hub. The migration of merchants and entrepreneurs from throughout the Gulf and Indian subcontinent made Dubai a cosmopolitan and prosperous city. Modern Dubai reflects this lively and dynamic past. The Creek, which has been the centre of Dubai s trade for generations, is still the most visible and picturesque site of the city s commerce. In 1971 Dubai joined with the six other Emirates Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman and Fujairah to create the United Arab Emirates. EGYPT Egypt is the land of magic and the secrets of the Pharaohs. It will inspire awe and amazement with its many temples, statues and monuments built by the Pharaohs. From visiting the impressive temples at Abu Simbel to the stunning beauty of the Nile, nothing, can prepare the first time visitor for the spectacular attractions of this, one of the most alluring regions of the world. Egypt is a travel experience unlike any other; the magic and the wonderful memories will stay with you forever. Kay NILE CRUISE SHIP
