How to book your Egypt trip

1. 1

   Step 1 — Send your enquiry

   Tell us what you have in mind. The more we know, the better the first draft.

   What helps most: rough travel dates, number of travelers and ages, must-sees (Pyramids? Nile cruise? Abu Simbel? Red Sea?), pace preference (slow, balanced, packed), budget tier (3★, 4★, 5★, luxury), and anything sensitive (mobility, dietary, kosher/halal, anniversaries).

   You can send all of this via:

   • Our Plan-your-trip form — quickest, prompts you for all the right info.

   • Email — flexible, send whatever you want.

   • WhatsApp — fastest for back-and-forth questions.

   Don't worry about being precise. "Two of us, end of October, 8–10 days, would love a slow Nile cruise + Cairo, no Sharm please" is a perfect brief.

   Step 2 — We send a custom itinerary within 24 hours

   A real planner reads your message and builds a draft you can react to.

   What you receive:

   • A day-by-day itinerary in PDF and on-screen.

   • Hotel suggestions for each city (often two options at different price tiers).

   • A Nile cruise recommendation (boat, route, cabin category) where applicable.

   • A clear price breakdown — per-person package, supplements, what is included, what is not.

   • A short note from the planner explaining their choices.

   If we cannot meet your dates with the right quality (rare, e.g. high-season cruise capacity), we say so straight away rather than promising and disappointing later.

   Step 3 — Refine until it feels right

   We do as many revisions as you need, free of charge, before you pay anything.

   Common revisions in this stage:

   • Swap a hotel for a higher or lower category.

   • Replace a city or add a destination (Alexandria, Siwa, Marsa Alam).

   • Move from a 5★ cruiser to a small dahabiya (or vice versa).

   • Slow the pace — turn a 7-day trip into 9 days.

   • Remove a day-tour and replace with leisure time at a Red Sea resort.

   We respond to revisions within a few hours during Cairo office hours, faster on WhatsApp. There is no minimum number of changes you have to keep — if our first draft is right, we just confirm.

   Step 4 — Confirm with a 25% deposit

   Lock the trip in. We move suppliers from "on hold" to "confirmed" the same day.

   How payment works:

   • 25% deposit at booking time, balance due 30 days before arrival.

   • Bookings within 30 days of arrival require full payment at booking.

   • Accepted: all major credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, BitPay, and direct bank transfer in USD/EUR/GBP.

   • You receive a payment receipt, a final itinerary PDF, and a single-page summary you can show on arrival.

   Once your deposit is in, your price is locked — no surprise increases (see our Pricing & Payment Policy for the rare exceptions).

5. 5

   Step 5 — Travel with full support

   From airport pickup to airport drop-off, you have one WhatsApp line to a real human in Cairo.

   What support looks like on the ground:

   • Airport pickup with your name on a sign and a private vehicle waiting.

   • Pre-arrival WhatsApp pack with hotel addresses, daily timing, guide names, and emergency contacts.

   • Daily check-ins from your planner during the trip — they know what is happening on each day.

   • 24/7 WhatsApp line for any issue (delayed flight, weather change, you want to swap a tour).

   • A single airport drop-off coordination at the end — including any luggage purchase or return-flight check-in help.

   After your trip, your planner follows up with a quick "how did it go" email. Your honest feedback shapes the next traveler's trip.
