Payment & Booking
How you pay, and when. Nothing is taken when you enquire: the payment method is agreed with you when you book.
Last updated 17 October 2026
Ways to pay
Payment is made depending on the previously agreed payment terms. We offer these options:
When booking, we determine the payment method in consultation and send you a confirmation email with the relevant information.
In all cases, you will receive a receipt for the amount paid.
Of course, we will try to provide that so you can set the easiest payment option.
Deposit and balance
Start your dream tour by paying as low as 30% of the total cost. During festive periods like New Year, Christmas and Easter, we require a 50% down payment. Feel free to pay the rest two days before your arrival or in cash when you arrive – we’ve got you covered!
Card payments
If you’re paying by credit card, we need a signed letter from you. This letter gives us permission to charge your card. Make sure the signature matches the one on your card and passport.
We accept payments online using Visa and MasterCard credit/debit card in AED, USD, EUR, and GBP. If you make a payment for our products or services on our website, the details you are asked to submit will be provided directly to our payment provider via a secure connection.
Refunds
If you need a refund, we’ll send it back using the same method which was used for the original payment. If you don’t show up for your reservation, we won’t be able to give you a refund. We also deduct a 5% bank fee from all refunds.
Cancellation charges by notice period are set out in our terms and conditions.
Ask before you commit, and we'll agree the easiest payment option with you.

Booking and paying for your Egypt tour: answered before you book.
Still not answered? A consultant replies on WhatsApp, usually within a few hours.
Ask on WhatsApp All general travel FAQsYou book by enquiry, not through an online checkout. Send us your dates, the number of travellers and what you would like to see, and a consultant replies, usually within a few hours on WhatsApp or by email, with a free day-by-day itinerary, hotels and a full price. You change it until it is right, then a deposit confirms the booking. Nothing is booked before you say yes.
A deposit as low as 30% of the total price confirms your Egypt tour. The balance is due two days before you arrive, or you can pay it in cash when you arrive in Egypt. Your itinerary shows the total, the deposit and the balance, so you know exactly what to pay and when before you confirm anything.
You can pay by bank transfer, through a secure payment link, by PayPal, or in cash on arrival for the balance. There is no online checkout on the site: once you confirm your itinerary, your consultant sends the payment details for the method you prefer, so you pay only for the trip you have agreed.
Yes. Our prices are quoted in US dollars, so your itinerary, deposit and balance are in dollars wherever you live. Bank transfer, the secure payment link and PayPal can all be used from abroad. If your account is in another currency, your bank or PayPal converts the amount at its own rate. Cash on arrival is also possible for the balance.
Yes. When you choose to pay online, your consultant sends you a secure payment link for the exact amount on your confirmed itinerary, so you pay only what you have agreed, and nothing is charged before you confirm. If you prefer, you can pay by bank transfer or PayPal instead, and the balance can be paid in cash when you arrive.
Yes. For trips over Christmas, New Year and Easter the deposit is 50% of the total instead of as low as 30%, and cancellation charges are higher in those periods. These dates are the first to fill, so book an Egypt tour for the holidays 2 to 3 months ahead to get the hotels and Nile cruises you want.
Outside Christmas, New Year and Easter, the charge depends on how close to arrival you cancel: 15% of the tour price at 61 days or more, 35% from 60 to 31 days, 50% from 30 to 15 days and 100% within 14 days of arrival. Those three holiday periods carry higher charges. The full table is on the terms page.
After a cancellation we refund the amount due under the cancellation charges, minus a 5% bank fee on refunds. If a government or an airline issues a do-not-travel warning for your dates, we refund the tour or hold what you paid as a credit for a later trip. The full cancellation table is on the terms page.
Yes, when they share a room with two paying adults. Children under 2 travel free, children from 2 to 5 pay 25% and children from 6 to 11 pay 50% of the adult rate; from 12 they pay the full adult rate. Some cruises or hotels have their own child policies, and your itinerary shows the price for each child before you book.
Once your deposit is received, your booking is confirmed and you have your final day-by-day itinerary with your hotels or Nile cruise, guides, transfers and the full price, plus the balance still due and how to pay it. Your consultant stays reachable on WhatsApp and by email until you travel, so any question or small change before the trip goes straight to the person who planned it.

No booking engine, no card details, no pressure. A travel consultant reads your message, builds a day-by-day plan around your dates, and sends it back with a price.
