IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EXTRA TOURS:
The services included in your tour package are clearly specified. However, we recommend that you also purchase the extra tours from us so that you can make this trip even more unique and do so safely. Please remember that most of the Turkish and Egyptian people who contact you through social media or approach you in Egypt provide tour services without a license and disregard your safety and security in order to offer low prices. Poorly maintained transfer vehicles, long journeys with a single driver overwhelmed by fatigue and lack of sleep, boat trips and desert safaris where safety is not prioritized, and food produced in unhygienic environments or even spoiled food may result in consequences that cannot be compensated for later. Our company operates all extra tours, just like the entire trip, by prioritizing your safety and security, with its own offices and staff in Egypt and managers with more than 30 years of industry experience. You are not obliged to purchase these tours from us, but we strongly recommend that you purchase them from an established company that meets at least these conditions.
You can purchase all extra tours individually upon arrival in Egypt, or, if you wish, purchase them collectively to make them more ‘’budget-friendly’’.

-You can purchase them by paying in cash upon arrival in Egypt. (Either at the individual list prices or, if you prefer, at the collective purchase campaign prices.)
-You can purchase them upon arrival in Egypt using a credit card via the mail order method. (Either at the individual list prices or, if you prefer, at the collective purchase campaign prices.
