Important remarks
- Egypt is a Muslim country and the month of Ramadan is of major significance to its residents. During Ramadan, entertainment and alcohol will be restricted in most of the country. The sale of alcohol will be restricted in many places, although some establishments will offer alcohol for sale to tourists. During this period, local businesses may also have shorter opening hours.
- The tours include cultural stops at local workshops so you can learn about the production of traditional crafts.
- Mandatory payments and optional excursions are payable in cash once in Egypt.
- Triple rooms in Africa are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- Check-in at hotels starts at 12 p.m.
- Mandatory payments at the destination (service fee and/or general tips) must be paid in cash.
- The published itinerary is for arrivals at the destination on Tuesdays. For arrivals on other days of the week, please inquire.
- Nile Motorboats: The category we publish corresponds to the official categorization of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. However, in most cases, this category does not meet European quality standards.
- The Egyptian authorities have officially announced that the new Grand Egyptian Museum will remain closed from October 15 to November 3, due to construction needs and internal logistical issues. Therefore, during this period, the visit will be replaced by an excursion to the Open-Air Museum of Memphis.
- The order of the itinerary may be altered for logistical reasons, without prior notice, but no scheduled trips will be cancelled (except in the case that adverse weather conditions prevent its realisation).
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Prices are calculated based on admission fees to the sights as of the date of publication. If there is an increase in these prices, you will be promptly informed.
- If you are a person with reduced mobility, please contact us to confirm the suitability of the trip.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
