Join Diane Rehm on a Nile River Cruise!

In October 2009 NHPR, in collaboration with Diane Rehm, WAMU and Cross-Cultural Journeys, is sponsoring an extraordinary journey into ancient and modern Egypt.  This trip will provide a unique perspective on the legacy of ancient times and a rich exploration of the complex contemporary life of the region - at the same time travelers will be showing their support for public radio and NHPR.

The voyage includes exploration of Cairo and Alexandria and a multi-day cruise down the Nile on the privately chartered Jaz Legacy, visiting the fabled sites of upper-Egypt in small groups accompanied by Egyptologist guides.   On-board lectures by a range of experts, and discussions hosted by Diane Rehm will provide context.  You will meet other public radio listeners and share thoughts on the day’s events. Travelers may extend the journey with a pre-tour of Israel or a post-tour in Jordan.  

The trip is coordinated and managed by Cross-Culture Journeys, which has arranged international itineraries for universities, public radio stations, museums and other groups of travelers for over twenty years.  Diane Rehm has worked with Cross Culture Journeys on two prior trips.   Cross Culture Journeys is available to answer any questions and, should you choose to join us for this exciting trip, they will help with all your arrangements.  NHPR will gather our traveling listeners for a pre-trip orientation event in New Hampshire in October.
