What are the payment options, and when is the payment due for the tour?We don’t require prepayment for group tours; payment is made on the bus or during the tour. Only private tours or those involving flight tickets may need advance payment. You can pay in cash (USD or EUR), or we can arrange other payment methods if needed.

Why do some tours in Egypt require passport details or vouchers?Due to strict tourism regulations in Egypt, daily permits from the police and military are required for tours.
