GOOD TO KNOW
Tips: "Baksheesh"! It's a word you'll quickly learn! Although it is easy to refuse solicitors, tipping is part of the culture and is a way of rewarding good service and a job well done. Tips for guides are never included. How much you give is up to you.
Accommodation is in line with local standards.
Security checks at Egyptian airports can be extensive and unpredictable, depending on the number of tourists. This is why the tour leader plans schedules as far in advance as possible.
Due to heavy traffic in Cairo, travel times can be long.
You will be grouped with other participants during excursions.
This package includes free time, during which you can explore at your leisure. However, you will be responsible for arranging your own transport.
Any optional extras are subject to a surcharge, which is payable on site to your guide or local representative.
The order of visits may be changed due to local circumstances.
Visits may be fast-paced (see the day-by-day itinerary for details), which means early morning wake-up calls (except when the boat is sailing).
Egypt is a cultural destination.
