Cancellation
All cancellations must be in writing. No refund is available for cancellation on/after 45 days prior to the
date of tour departure. Should you need to cancel your booking prior to 45 days before tour departure, a
handling fee of Au$100 will be deducted from the deposit. The balance of the deposit and any other tour
payments you have made will be totally refundable. The deposit and any other tour payments made by you will
not be refunded if cancellation occurs within 45 days of tour departure date.
These tours are designed for small groups, so pricing is based on a minimum number of participants - usually
6 people. Should the tour not achieve the minimum participants, we reserve the right to cancel or alter the
tour itinerary, reschedule or calculate a surcharge as required. You will be entitled to a full refund should
you decline these changes.
We reserve the right to cancel, postpone or reschedule any tour program due to unforeseen circumstances, in
which case you will be given at least one of the following options:
- Travelling on a different date
- Transfer your payment to a different tour program
- Receiving a complete refund of monies paid for the tour
Insurance
Please take out travel insurance to protect yourself from losing money due to unforeseen circumstances leading
to a cancellation. Travel insurance companies usually include limitations or conditions within their
cancellation coverage so please read your insurance brochure carefully to ensure that you fully understand
your cancellation policy.
Please note that we strongly advise that you do not pay for additional travel arrangements (e.g. flights,
transfers etc) any other items or services (e.g. medical expenses, injections, entry visa etc) in preparation
of the tour until we are able to confirm in writing that the minimum number of tour participants has been
reached (usually within 45 days of tour departure). You may not be able to recover these additional costs
should the tour be cancelled.
Single Rooms
Single travellers can reserve single rooms for an extra charge. Please enquire for further details.
Those requesting that we assist them in selecting a roommate may be subject to a single room supplement charge
if a suitable roommate cannot be found. We will make every effort to find an appropriate roommate, but we
cannot be held responsible for this suitability. Should you decide to change roommates, or select a single room
while the tour is in progress, you will be responsible for the cost of your single room, and the cost of the
single supplement of your originally assigned roommate if a new suitable roommate cannot be found for that person.
Passport and Visa
A valid passport is required with a minimum validity of six months from the date of departure from Cairo. An entry
visa into Egypt & United Emirates will be required. Please contact us for further details.
