What are the payment options, and when is the payment due for the tour?

Why are passport details or vouchers required for some tours in Egypt?
Due to strict tourism regulations in Egypt, daily permits from the police and military are required for tours. For specific tours, such as marine or private ones, passport details or voucher photos are needed to secure permits. For most other excursions, permits are based on participant numbers, without needing passport information.

Are we covered by insurance during the tour?
Some hotel guides may claim that insurance doesn’t cover third-party tour organizers, but this is false. Your travel insurance is valid throughout Egypt, including with any tour company. Additionally, all transport (like buses or boats) must be fully insured to operate, and organizers are responsible for passenger coverage. Strict regulations and permits are required for every tour in Egypt.

How can I retrieve any personal items I may have lost during the tour?
We remind you to check your belongings when leaving the bus or boat at the end of the tour. If something is lost, it can be hard to recover, as vehicles often leave for cleaning right after. While we’ll do our best to help, we can’t guarantee the item will be returned. Please be cautious!

We provide flexible cancellation policies, generally allowing changes or cancellations up to 24–48 hours before the tour. Please refer to the specific tour page for detailed terms.
