Revision Fees: Once a reservation is under deposit, any changes are subject to a non-refundable $50 fee per transaction.

Price Protection Plan: Foreign currencies and their rates of exchange to the US Dollar fluctuate daily. When dealing with the “soft” currencies of emerging economies like Egypt’s, changes in rates affecting sudden price increases can and do happen overnight, forcing many companies to increase their rates without warning. To avoid such unpleasant surprises, we have developed an in-house PRICE PROTECTION PLAN designed to protect your valuable travel investment. For a fee of only $59 per person, paid at the time of the booking and sent with your initial deposit, we will GUARANTEE all land and cruise prices featured in this brochure. Any and all future increases resulting from currency fluctuation will be absorbed by us, at no additional cost to you. We feel so strongly that $59 is a small price to pay for your peace of mind, that we will automatically include it on your invoice. However, should you decide to decline this unique feature, simply note it on your initial invoice, sign and return to us, and we will deduct this fee from your final payment. Price Protection must be paid with the initial deposit, and is not refundable in case of cancellation for any reason.
