Pre-Trip Extension Itinerary YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Egypt & the Eternal Nile by Private, Classic River-Yacht 2023 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, For me, one of the joys of traveling is the careful planning that goes into an adventure—from the first spark of inspiration to hours spent poring over travel books about my dream destinations—and I can’t wait to see where my next journey will take me. I know you’re eager to explore the world, too, and our Egypt & the Eternal Nile by Private, Classic River-Yacht itinerary described inside is an excellent way to start. Exactly how your adventure unfolds is up to you, because you have many choices to customize it. You can arrive early and stay later—perhaps by adding a pre- or post-trip extension, spending time in a Stopover city, or combining 2 or more trips. Plus, your itinerary is laced with free time, so you’ll have opportunities to do your own thing. More than 80% of the travelers who reserve this trip choose to tailor their adventure. In fact, O.A.T. is the only travel company to offer such flexibility and choice for an experience that is truly personalized. As for Egypt & the Eternal Nile by Private, Classic River-Yacht, thanks to your small group of 8-16 travelers (average 13) you can expect some unforgettable experiences. Here are a few that stood out for me: Egypt is a land of profound majesty and mystery—commanding pyramids reaching towards the skies, piercing obelisks adorned with hieroglyphics, and caravans of camels trudging across sand dunes. And, at its heart: the mighty Nile. A true oasis in the desert and the lifeblood for Egypt’s enduring history and culture. I saw this firsthand when I visited Besaw Island, an isolated agricultural community along the banks of the Nile. I met a local farmer and his family, and they gave me a unique view into their daily lives, where I came to understand their traditional livelihood and the undeniable power of the Nile. You’ll experience this, too, when you spend A Day in the Life of Besaw Island. You’ll also meet with a local Cairo woman to gain a deeper understanding of women’s rights in modern Egyptian society. The role of women has gradually evolved, and you’ll explore the extent of this evolution with either a working wife and mother or a single, working woman. These women offer wide-ranging perspectives which are sure to cast a personal light on this complex issue. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. That’s why we don’t shy away from controversial topics, and why all our Trip Experience Leaders are “insiders” who live in the country. At times you may be nudged out of your comfort zone. But you will also be inspired by the resilience and humanity of the wonderful people you meet. And that’s what adventure travel is all about. Thanks for letting me dream along with you about the Egypt & the Eternal Nile by Private, Classic River-Yacht. I’m looking forward to experiencing the enrichment that only travel can bring, and I hope you are, too. Until then, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Love and peace, Harriet R. Lewis Vice Chairman, Overseas Adventure Travel P.S. Inspire fellow travelers with videos and slideshows of your most memorable travel moments from past adventures.

It comes at a time when the country as a whole is torn into bits and pieces and when, following eleven years of war, the economy is in shambles: the industrial sector is virtually crippled, the wheels of commerce are slowly grinding to a halt, and the national currency is fast becoming worthless. In this tormented context, the construction sector, as will become apparent in the following pages, has incredibly maintained its resilience.
