Changes and cancellation policy

Tour Information

《Special Notes》

1. This is a destination-join-in tour with international group departures. Provided the promised services and standards remain unchanged, different vehicles and guides may serve you on different days. You will share vehicles with other guests, and guests arriving a few days before or after you, or taking the same itinerary, may be regrouped to travel together in a different order. The travel agency and guide may make reasonable adjustments to your itinerary based on weather, traffic, and other conditions (such as changing the itinerary order, sightseeing order, timing, or flights), without reducing the number of attractions. Please take note.

2. Under local Egyptian regulations, the Chinese-speaking guides and English-speaking assistants on this tour are all Egyptian. They are professional and welcoming, and most have religious beliefs. Please respect their beliefs, lifestyle, and food culture during the tour. No Chinese-speaking guide or vehicle is provided during free time. An English-speaking assistant can come to the hotel to help if needed. Some transfers and domestic flights may be accompanied only by an English-speaking assistant or driver.

3. We recommend exchanging for US dollars in advance or at the airport. US dollars are preferred locally in Egypt, and euros are also accepted in cash. The guide uses WeChat, so can also accept renminbi through WeChat. If you exchange for Egyptian pounds, you may not be able to buy entrance tickets (some guides can help purchase them, but accept only US dollars, euros, or renminbi). Cruise tips are accepted only in US dollars or euros. Egyptian pounds have few uses during a short trip of just a few days, aside from paying to use the restroom, so exchanging for them may not be necessary.

4. Nile cruise facilities and conditions differ somewhat from those of hotels and developed areas. The facilities, equipment, and conditions vary from one cruise ship to another, as ships depart daily. As the ships operate on the river for extended periods, rooms can be quite damp and may have some odor. Also, because the engines are loud, some rooms may be affected by engine noise while the ship is underway (the noise is lower at night, but this issue cannot be entirely avoided). Rooms are assigned at random at check-in. We recommend asking the cruise ship’s front desk staff to arrange a room away from the engines or in a quieter area, but we cannot guarantee this request can be accommodated. Please refer to the actual room assignment.

5. Egypt is still a relatively underdeveloped developing country. Due to limited local economic conditions, transportation, hotel services and facilities, dining, and other aspects may differ from those in developed cities. Local five-star hotels may be comparable to four-star hotels in China, and some may offer fairly basic conditions because they opened or were renovated some time ago. Hotels we commonly work with are often not in the city center. Thank you for your understanding.

6. Tipping is customary in Egypt. People such as public restroom attendants, hotel porters, and restaurant servers may ask for tips; this is unrelated to our company. Please respect local customs and be prepared for this before your trip.

7. There is no compulsory shopping requirement or arrangement on this tour (shopping at attractions, on the cruise ship, or elsewhere that is not organized by our company is not included). The guide may also recommend local specialty shops, such as papyrus painting or essential oil shops; if you are not interested, please decline directly. If other tour members wish to shop, the group may make a stop. Thank you for your understanding.

8. During special holidays (such as May Day, National Day, Christmas, and Chinese New Year) or peak season, cruise cabins may be in short supply. The guide may not be on the same cruise as the group, or some group members may be assigned to another cruise. However, the guide will provide commentary at the relevant temple attractions (Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple) during their stops. We appreciate your understanding of any inconvenience this may cause.

9. If you are late or miss an itinerary activity for personal reasons, you will be deemed to have voluntarily forfeited that activity. During the trip, you may not leave or separate from the group without the consent of the guide or travel agency. If you receive consent to leave the group, you must sign a liability waiver and assume responsibility for your personal safety and belongings during that period. No refunds will be provided in any of these circumstances. You will be solely responsible for any personal safety issues and additional expenses that arise as a result.

10. Some entertainment and commercial venues at the destination may be privately operated and may not meet consistent standards, posing various risks. For your safety and health, please exercise caution when spending money at such venues. During free time, do not go out privately with anyone outside the tour group or visit dangerous areas. We cannot ensure your safety while you are away from the group, or accept responsibility for any issues arising from other activities you take part in or from being in dangerous areas. Please take care of your personal safety when going out or joining optional activities. Do not take part in high-risk activities such as camel riding, as we cannot ensure your safety during such activities. Please take note.

11. Meals included in the itinerary may be served at different locations or to different standards depending on the actual itinerary and group size, provided the number of meals remains unchanged. No refund will be given if you choose to skip a meal. The buffets listed in the itinerary are provided by hotels or cruise ships and generally do not include drinks. Please pay for drinks yourself if needed.

12. The local guide may recommend optional activities based on the circumstances. These are generally offered as packages, and you may choose whether to participate according to your needs. There is no compulsory spending. Please make sure you understand the activities before signing up and paying. Once confirmed, they cannot be canceled or changed.

13. Local transportation conditions in Egypt are poor. Traffic congestion is common in cities, and drivers generally have poor driving habits. If a driver drives unsafely or speeds, please promptly point this out. If you have any concerns, contact us immediately to avoid potential risks and danger.

14. Egypt is relatively safe and has good public security. However, please keep valuables with you in hotels and crowded places, and take good care of your belongings while traveling. When getting off the bus to sightsee, dine, or shop, please make sure the vehicle doors and windows are closed and keep your valuables with you. The travel agency accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen items;

15. During your trip in Egypt, local police may conduct random passport checks. The English-speaking airport assistant will also ask to check your name against your passport. Before departure, check that your passport is valid and that you have the correct visa type. You must carry a valid passport with you on the tour. If a tour member does not bring a valid passport, the guide may refuse to accept them on the tour or ask them to leave the group;

To protect your interests as much as possible, please read our Booking Notes and Terms of Liability carefully. This document contains important information that our company wishes to bring to the attention of tour members traveling overseas, and, together with our Important Safety Information for Overseas Travel and Other Notes, forms part of the travel contract. We reserve all rights to interpret the content of this website.

(I) Registration Process and Important Notes

If you book through this website, please carefully read all the terms published on our company website, in the order confirmation, and in the tour information notice. By submitting your order, you confirm that you have read and fully agree to the terms published by our company. If any tour participant violates the rules set out in these terms, they shall bear all resulting consequences.

1. When booking, please fill out the booking form on the website. Carefully complete and check all information, including names, gender, ID/passport numbers, contact details, required room type, and pickup and drop-off points. Our company accepts no liability for losses arising from incorrect information provided by the customer. After successful submission, we will send you an order confirmation. As seats on the tour bus are limited, we will prioritize boarding arrangements according to when payment is received. The final vehicle will be assigned based on group size, with one seat guaranteed per person. After checking that all details are correct, please arrange payment within the validity period of the order. If the tour fee is not paid in full by the deadline, the booking will be treated as automatically canceled, and we reserve the right to cancel your order without further notice.

2. Guests must ensure that the full tour fee (100%) is paid at least five business days before departure. As tour bus seats and hotel rooms are limited, and hotel bookings are often subject to deadlines, guests booking within five business days of departure must promptly complete payment. Otherwise, depending on the circumstances, we reserve the right to hold or cancel the order without first obtaining the applicant’s consent. The payer is responsible for any fees incurred regardless of the payment method. After payment, please email or fax proof of payment (the bank transaction slip for an in-person transfer or a screenshot of the successful online transfer) to our company. Be sure to include the corresponding order number on the proof; otherwise, our finance department cannot match the payment to the order. If the tour fee has still not arrived two days before the end of the tour because payment was made late, we reserve the right to ask the guest to provide the corresponding amount in cash to the tour guide as a deposit. If we later confirm that payment was made twice, we will promptly refund the overpayment.

3. After our company confirms receipt of the participants’ payments, we will confirm their tour registration. Five days before departure, participants will receive a tour confirmation notice at the email address provided during registration. It will include information for reference, such as the tour guide, itinerary, and pickup and drop-off points. Due to network delays or spam filtering, participants may not receive the notice five days before departure. If this happens, please contact the relevant staff for assistance.

4. We will arrange room types according to guests’ requests. In exceptional circumstances, such as during peak travel season when a hotel has insufficient rooms, or due to other uncontrollable factors, the room type may change, and tour members must cooperate with our arrangements. If the room arrangements on arrival do not meet a tour member’s requirements because they entered the wrong gender or room-type preference when booking, our agency will coordinate and make arrangements based on room availability at the hotel on the day of check-in. Any additional costs incurred must be paid by the tour member.

5. If a participant needs to leave the tour early for special reasons, they must notify us when registering or before joining the tour and sign an “Early Departure Declaration.” For each night of accommodation not used after leaving early, 16 EUR will be deducted (or 30 EUR per unused night if the participant booked a single room for the entire tour). If no hotel nights are missed, no refund will be made from the tour price. If a participant requests to leave the tour early during the trip, they must inform the tour guide and sign an “Early Departure Declaration”; fees paid will not be refunded. Participants must provide truthful information about their health, identity, and other relevant matters when registering and during the trip, complete all relevant information accurately, and fulfill the required legal formalities. Participants are responsible for any costs and losses resulting from personal reasons, such as feeling unwell during the trip. Visitors with a history of serious illness (for example, those with a critical, terminal, or contagious disease) must disclose this truthfully when registering. In view of a visitor’s health or other circumstances, our company reserves the right to decide whether to accept their registration.

6. Travelers aged 70 or over who sign up for a tour must be accompanied by a family member and complete the “Tour Participation Declaration.” If they insist on signing up without a family member, our company reserves the right to refuse their booking, depending on the circumstances. Travelers shall be responsible for all consequences arising during the trip from their own actions.

7. Pregnant travelers must disclose their pregnancy when booking. As a general rule, participation is not recommended for those more than 24 weeks pregnant. Those who insist on joining must be accompanied by a family member and complete a Liability Waiver, but our company reserves the right to refuse participation depending on the circumstances. Those less than 24 weeks pregnant who insist on joining must also be accompanied by a family member and complete a Participation Declaration, but our company reserves the right to refuse participation depending on the circumstances. Travelers are responsible for all consequences arising from their own actions during the trip.

8. Minors joining the tour must be accompanied by at least one adult who fulfills their duty of care and is responsible for the minor’s safety. Participants are responsible for all consequences arising from a minor’s own actions or from inadequate supervision by their accompanying adult during the trip.

9. Participants must ensure that all information provided for the tour is accurate, especially personal identification details and contact phone numbers. Participants are responsible for all consequences resulting from incorrect information (for example, being unable to cross a border because personal identification documents have expired or the visa type does not meet the relevant country’s entry requirements, or a guide and other relevant staff being unable to contact a participant because the mobile phone number provided is incorrect). Participants are responsible for any resulting personal return travel costs, transportation costs, travel expenses, and other losses.

10. Applicants are advised not to book any flights or other tickets related to the tour itinerary before their tour participation is confirmed. If an applicant books flights or other tickets related to the itinerary at their own discretion but is ultimately unable to join the tour, they shall bear all resulting losses.

2. If changes arise beyond our company’s control, such as insufficient numbers of participants or problems with a ship / aircraft, our company reserves the right to change or cancel the itinerary. If the itinerary is canceled, our company will refund all fees paid by the members or recommend a similar alternative product. Our company accepts no liability for canceling any itinerary.

3. In the event of civil unrest, terrorist activity, a serious infectious disease outbreak, natural disaster, other disaster, disturbance, murder, riot, war, or other disaster beyond our company’s control that may seriously threaten members’ personal safety, or unforeseen circumstances such as weather, transport disruptions, or strikes, our company reserves the right to cancel or replace any tour activity before or after departure, and to shorten or extend the trip, but must notify members in advance. Our company is not responsible for any resulting additional expenses or losses, and members may not object or withdraw on these grounds.

Tour Information

Overseas Travel Safety Information and Other Important Notes

To protect your interests as much as possible, please read our Important Safety Information for Overseas Travel and Other Notes carefully. This document contains important information that our company wishes to bring to the attention of tour members traveling overseas, and, together with our Booking Notes and Terms of Liability, forms part of the travel contract.

(1) Helpful tips

1. Most attractions offer student discounts. Students are advised to bring an international student card.

2. Plug standards vary between countries. If needed, please bring your own adapters for different types of outlets.

3. Egypt is an Islamic country, so please respect local religious beliefs and customs. Women should avoid wearing overly revealing clothing, and couples should refrain from intimate gestures such as hugging in public.

4. Alcohol is not prohibited in Egypt, but drinking spirits in public places is not advisable.

5. Photography is prohibited in sensitive areas such as government buildings and military facilities. Do not photograph women without their permission. Ask for permission before taking photographs inside mosques or museums.

(2) Safety information

Clothing

1. The weather is changeable, so be sure to carry rain gear and a warm jacket with you.

2. Please take good care of your belongings and luggage. We accept no responsibility for loss or theft.

3. Clearly write your name and contact details on your luggage for identification and to make it easier to return if it is found after being lost. If your luggage is lost, notify the relevant parties (such as the hotel or airline) and report it to the police as soon as possible. If it cannot ultimately be recovered, keep the police report to make a claim with the relevant party or your insurance company (if you have insurance).

Food

1. The tour guide will do their best to help guests who need it arrange Chinese-style group meals. If the group is too small for a group meal, or one cannot be arranged due to holidays, opening hours, or other reasons (such as there being no Chinese restaurant in a small town), the guide will do their best to help guests find fast food or Western food, or arrange meals at a supermarket or the hotel. If meals arranged as part of the itinerary cannot meet the needs of every guest, we appreciate your understanding. We recommend bringing bottled water and snacks in case they are needed.

2. Do not drink unclean water or eat unhygienic, spoiled, or foul-smelling food. When visiting areas with poor sanitation, choose cooked food and packaged drinks.

3. Do not accept or consume cigarettes, food, or drinks offered by strangers.

4. To help prevent travel-related illness, bring any medicines you regularly use or commonly need. Travelers with chronic illnesses should carry their medical records in case of emergency. Never take medication provided by someone else without careful consideration.

5. Our agency does not provide or arrange alcohol. Participants who enjoy drinking must strictly limit their alcohol consumption during the trip. Anyone who causes trouble while intoxicated, disturbs public order, infringes on others’ rights, or causes financial loss to a third party is solely responsible.

Accommodation

1. Hotel facilities:

① Hotels do not provide daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, or kettles. Please bring your own. In the event of a trade fair or other large-scale event, our company reserves the right to choose the hotel star rating.

② If you book with our company a hotel in a city not included in the itinerary's overnight stays, our company reserves the right to choose the hotel star rating.

2. Hotel meals:

① No hot drinking water is provided in the hotel rooms.

② Hotel food differs somewhat from food in China. Breakfast is fairly simple, and lunch and dinner are not particularly abundant; the quantity and quality are considerably below the standard in China.

3. Hotel room types:

① Triple rooms consist of one double bed and one single bed, and are only permitted for two adults traveling with one child under 14 years of age.

② For general individual travelers, our company arranges room sharing (twin beds). If there is one male and one female traveling alone, we will try to arrange for each to share with another traveler of the same gender or provide an extra bed. If necessary, married couples may need to stay in separate rooms; please cooperate. When arranging hotel room types according to travelers’ requests at the time of booking, if an odd number of guests or a solo traveler books (for example, 3, 5, or 7 people) and selects a double room, no single-room supplement will be charged if they accept the assigned arrangement. Those who refuse the arrangement must pay the additional single-room supplement.

4. Hotel safety tips:

① Please keep your valuables safe. Do not leave them in your hotel room, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or expensive watches or jewelry. Keep your travel documents and belongings secure, and bring a photocopy of your travel documents and credit cards to use as proof when applying for replacements if they are lost.

② Please take good care of your belongings and luggage. We accept no responsibility for loss or theft.

③ Please do not smoke in your hotel room. Any resulting hotel fines must be paid by the person responsible.

④ After checking into the hotel, familiarize yourself with its safety information. Check whether the room windows can be opened and where the fire-fighting equipment is located. Find out where the hotel’s emergency exits and stairways are, and learn the evacuation routes.

⑤ Check that all the items provided in your hotel room are present and undamaged. If anything is missing or damaged, report it immediately to hotel staff or your tour guide.

⑥ Do not casually tell strangers the name of your hotel or room number. Do not let strangers or anyone claiming to be hotel maintenance staff enter your room. Lock the door whenever you enter or leave, and before going to sleep check that the door and windows are closed and the security lock is engaged. Keep your belongings close to you rather than near the windows or elsewhere.

⑦ If you need to go out while staying at the hotel, inform your tour guide and get a hotel key card from the front desk. The card has the hotel’s address and phone number, which you can use to ask for help if you get lost.

1. Boarding and alighting:

① All tour participants must gather on time and depart promptly. Please arrive at the pickup point 15 minutes early. Our tour bus will not wait. Anyone who fails to meet at the agreed time and place, or join the tour en route, will be considered to have forfeited their place, and no refund will be given.

② The boarding and disembarking times shown on the website are estimates. The company’s confirmation will determine the exact pickup and drop-off locations. (If traffic or other exceptional circumstances prevent our coach from arriving at the pickup point on time, or the time changes at short notice, we will notify you promptly. Please wait patiently.)

③ Coaches come in three types: large coaches, minibuses, and 9-seat minibuses. Large coaches generally have dedicated luggage compartments, while minibuses and 9-seat minibuses have relatively limited luggage space. As coach luggage-compartment space is limited, we recommend bringing as little luggage as possible. We will arrange vehicles based on the final group size, ensuring one seat per person.

④ To avoid overcrowding near attractions, coach parking areas in most European cities are located some distance away, and drivers are not allowed to park wherever they wish. Violations can result in hefty fines, so the drop-off and pick-up points may be some distance from the attractions. We appreciate your understanding.

2. Safety tips for coach travel:

① Smoking is prohibited in the vehicle.

② Do not bring prohibited items.

③ Do not handle any items in the vehicle unnecessarily, to avoid damage.

④ Follow the tour guide’s instructions during temporary coach stops, and do not wander away.

⑤ When leaving the tour vehicle to sightsee, eat, or shop, remember to close the vehicle windows and take your valuables with you. The travel agency accepts no responsibility for loss or theft.

⑥ As the journey is long and the vehicle is under considerable strain, if it breaks down and affects the itinerary, the travel agency will promptly take remedial action. Please cooperate.
