At the moment we do not have international flight reservations. But we recommend you use a flight search engine to find the best prices. You should also make sure that the time between air stopovers is more than 4 hours to avoid problems with flight delays. We have had clients who have missed their flights and we have to reorganize the entire itinerary in Egypt. It is also advisable to arrive early to the country.

In some hotels they give access to WiFi, however in most the signal is not very good. In cruises it is a service that is paid separately, so we recommend buying a chip from a local telephone agency.

To contract with us it is necessary to make a reservation of $ 200 USD in total, through Western or PayPal, regardless of the number of people traveling. This is for us to be able to make the relevant reservations. When making your reservation we will also need a photo of your passports and the itinerary of your inbound and outbound flights. The remaining cost can be paid upon arrival in Egypt, in cash or by card.
