Pay up front before January 29 for an extra early booking discount of $800 per couple To get the full details of pricing and savings it's just a matter of calling 1800 225 656. The inclusions make this tour such an exciting package. There's a three-night stopover in Dubai staying at the Hilton Dubai on the way home, with transfers and a half-day city tour. Two nights in Cairo at the deluxe Marriott Hotel, and sightseeing highlights including major temples, the Pyramids, the sphinx, a flight to Luxor and too many memory making inclusions,- not the least being a week aboard the most luxurious riverboat on the Nile. Far too many highlights to include in this travel brief, so I suggest an immediate visit to www.cruising.com.au for the details.
But first, how about a lesson on coffee?
