Good to know

Do I need a visa or passport?

Yes — your passport is mandatory, and a Cairo visa is required for most nationalities (from US$30; we arrange it on the day for €35 per person). Send us a photo of your passport when booking and we'll handle the details.

What's the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48h does not apply to tours with flight tickets — cancellation terms are agreed at booking. We'll explain the exact conditions before you confirm.

Is it a very tiring day?

It's a long, rewarding day of roughly 12 hours, but the flight keeps travel short. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sun protection — note that liquids up to 50 ml are allowed in hand luggage.

How do I pay?

Book on WhatsApp and pay cash or card on the day. Because flight seats must be issued, we may ask for confirmation details in advance — we'll walk you through it.
