Terms and Conditions |

A. Package
Holidays
1. Your Contract/Financial Protection
A contract will exist between you and us when we issue a confirmation
invoice/receipt.
2. Price Changes
Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues,
taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or
disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates mean that the price
of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked.
Please note that travel arrangements are not purchased in local currency and
some apparent changes have direct impact on the price of your travel due to
contractual and other protection in place.
3. Changes you make before travel (excluding name
changes)
If you want to change any of your Package reservations please contact
us and we will do all we can to help you. Our normal cancellation charges (as
per contracted offer) will apply if you make any changes to your arrangements.
4. charge for any additional services
We will charge for any additional services, facilities, or other
items changed, at the price which applies on the day the change is made.
Any
booking discount you may have received at the time the original booking was
made, may be altered or reduced whenever changes are made.. Scheduled airline
carriers do not always allow changes to be made to dates of travel once
confirmed. Where the carrier imposes charges, which may be as high as 100%,
these will be passed on. If the changed arrangements are more expensive than
those originally booked, you must also pay the price difference. If you cancel
any 'optional extras' for which there is a charge, you will lose any deposit you
have paid for the item. For certain optional extras, such as transfers &
insurance, you will also have to pay cancellation charges.
5. Cancellation By You
In order to cover our expected losses for the transport and
accommodation services we pay for in advance, 100% cancellation charges may
apply.
6. Changes Made By Us Before Travel
If any change will have a significant effect on your holiday, we will
tell you about it before your departure.
If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we will tell you about
before your Package holiday, we will, if we are able to do so, offer you an
alternative Package of equivalent or superior quality at no extra cost, or a
less expensive Package holiday, in which case we will refund the difference in
price.
If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, you can choose
another Package holiday from us and pay, or receive a refund of, any price
difference. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your Package holiday and receive a
full refund of any money you have paid to us, except for any amendment charges
which will be put by your
tourism consultant.
7. Circumstances Beyond Our Control
Except where we say differently elsewhere in these conditions, we
cannot pay any compensation, reimburse expenses, or cover losses for any amount
or otherwise accept responsibility if, as a result of circumstances beyond our
control, we have to change your Package holiday after departure, or we, or our
suppliers, cannot supply your Package holiday, as we, or they, had agreed, or
you suffer any loss or damage of any description.
When we refer to circumstances beyond our control, we mean any event that we, or
the supplier in question, could not foresee or avoid, even after taking all
reasonable care. Such circumstances will usually include, but are not limited
to, war, terrorist activity, civil unrest, industrial dispute,
nature force crises, bad weather
(actual or threatened) and significant building work ongoing outside of your
accommodation, which is not known to us in advance of your departure date and
building work from a third party (such as resort development).
8. Our Liability to You
• Our obligations, and those of our suppliers providing any service
or facility involved in any of your Package holiday, are to take reasonable
skill and care to arrange for the provision of such services and facilities and,
where we or our supplier is actually providing the service or facility, to
provide them with reasonable skill and care. Compliance with any applicable
regulatory requirements (such as, for example, those of the Civil Aviation
Authority) will be proper performance of our, and our suppliers', obligations.
You must show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to
make any claim.
• You are obliged to assist us in recovering any sum from any third party which
may compensate us for any sums we pay you. In particular, you are obliged to
assign to us any rights that you may have against any other person whose acts or
omissions have caused or contributed to our legal liability to pay you
compensation. You must also provide us with all assistance we may reasonably
require. Finally, you must follow the procedures for the notification of
complaints set out in the clause below entitled "If you have a complaint".
• Other than as set out above, and as is detailed elsewhere in these booking
conditions, we shall have no legal liability whatsoever to you for any loss,
damage, personal injury or death which you suffer arising directly or indirectly
from any aspect of your Package holiday.

1. Price Changes
Price increases may occur any time prior to full payment being
received from you, and you will be liable to pay any such increases in full.
Transfer of Bookings in the case of a scheduled flight only booking, transfer to
another person will involve
canceling the original booking, thereby incurring
any relevant cancellation charges and then making a new booking, which will be
subject to availability and any additional price increase. Transfer of any other
type of booking is subject to the supplier's own terms and conditions and the
applicable amendment or cancellation charges.

accordance with the relevant supplier's terms and conditions and subject to the
supplier's amendment and cancellation charges.

4. Our Liability to You

such, have no liability whatsoever to you for any death, personal injury or loss
of whatever nature you may suffer unless caused by our own negligence.
5. Denied Boarding
Where a flight ticket is downgraded or a flight cancelled, delayed,
or boarding is denied by any carrier in circumstances which would entitle you to
compensation under the Denied Boarding Regulations 2004, then you are obliged to
claim the appropriate sums pursuant to those Regulations from the carrier.
Any
sums received by you in this respect constitute the full amount of your
entitlement to compensation for all matters flowing from the carrier's actions
and which fall within the scope of the Denied Boarding Regulations.
In the event of airline collapse we have no responsibility to you.

for your particular arrangements. PLEASE NOTE "FAILURE TO PAY ON TIME WILL
RESULT IN CANCELLATION."

Credit Cards: We accept MasterCard, Visa and American Express. however, for
online payment we accept only MasterCard and Visa. Customers choosing to use
this method of payment will be subject to a credit card handling fee of which
will be advised at the time of booking. Please note that you can use your credit
card as a form of guarantee to book hotels or cars and that you will have to
finalize payment when you receive the service. You may use your credit card for
booking flights provided that you will sign the airline form at one of our
branches before the ticket is issued. Please note that you may be asked to
provide documentation to confirm your identity and ownership of the credit card
used. This documentation will include: a copy of your passport and a copy of the
back and the front of your credit card.
3. Flight Reconfirmation

date and times of all your flights at least 72 hours prior to departure or
according to the airline rules and regulations. Failure to do so may result in
Cancellation.
4. Ticketing
It is important that you check all details of your travel documents
after receiving the document from the travel counselor.
If there any inaccuracies or you have any query please contact us immediately.
5. Lost/Stolen Flight Tickets
If you lose your flight tickets or they are stolen before traveling
we will have to adhere to the airline's rules and regulations.
6. Airline Refund Procedures
The refund policies applied by airlines vary greatly. If you return
your unused ticket to us we will present it to the relevant airline for
assessment.
If the airline agrees to issue a refund, we will forward such refund to you less
cancellation or administration charge.
If you paid us by credit card, we will refund the amount due to you on your
credit card; otherwise the refund will be made in cash.

pro-rata rate. Refunds usually take 10-12 weeks to process, but in some cases
may take longer. Tickets returned more than one year from their date of issue
are classed as expired by the airline and generally have no refund value at all.
We recommend that tickets being sent to us for a refund are brought in person or
sent by recorded courier.
7. Suppliers' conditions
Our third party suppliers have their own booking conditions and
carriage, and you will be bound by these, so far as the relevant supplier is
concerned. Our suppliers' conditions will also apply to your contract with us,
and in the event of any conflict between the suppliers' conditions and ours, the
suppliers' conditions will prevail.
Some of our Suppliers' conditions may limit or exclude liability on the part of
the relevant supplier, and by virtue of their application to your contract with
us, may also limit or exclude our liability to you, and they are often subject
to international conventions. Where relevant, copies of such conditions may be
available for inspection at the office of the relevant supplier.
8. Complaints

please present your complaint as soon as possible to the relevant person (for
example, the hotel management).
If they cannot help, you must contact us on the telephone number (of
branch/travel counselor) supplied to you on your invoice/receipt and we will do
everything reasonably possible to sort the problem out.
9. Passports & Visas and Health Requirements
It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all those traveling
with you have a valid passport and the necessary visa and that you have obtained
any necessary vaccinations to gain entry to any country you are visiting. It can
often take some time to obtain a passport or visa, therefore, you should apply
well in advance.
In peak periods it is advisable to allow at least 6 weeks. General information
on passport and visa requirements for Egyptian Citizens are available within the
details sent to you. However, passport and visa regulations and health
requirements can change at any time, therefore, we recommend that you check
passport/visa requirements with the Embassy or Consulate of the country you
intend to visit and that you consult your doctor or the Foreign Office regarding
health requirements. We will have no liability to you if you or any member of
your party travels without the correct passport and visa or without the
necessary vaccinations.
10. General Information
Joint Services: Please note that two airlines may share the same
services, therefore, a flight may not be operated by the airline whose
designated code is shown on your itinerary and ticket.
Taxes: We will advise you of all mandatory taxes, which you must pay before
departure. However, many countries charge departure taxes that can only be paid
locally. It is, therefore, recommended that you retain sufficient local currency
to meet such charges. Details of departure taxes can be obtained from the
relevant airline when you reconfirm your flight details.
11. Special requests
If you have a special request for anything that is not automatically
part of your Holiday, please check when you book your holiday and we will pass
this information on to the Suppliers.
Where possible they will try to help you, but we cannot guarantee any request
unless it is noted on your booking. We must emphasize that verbal confirmations
of special requests cannot be taken as a guarantee that they will be met e.g.
special meal types on flights.
12. Flight Details
A detailed flight itinerary will be handed to you at time of
delivery.
13. Personal Information
We will provide your personal information, as well as any personal
information you provide in relation to those other persons who form your booking
party, to suppliers and carriers to enable the operation of the services
requested by you.
If you make special requests, which include, but are not limited to, special
dietary, religious or disability-related requirements, which constitute
sensitive information, the relevant data will also be passed to the relevant
suppliers and carriers to enable provision of the services to you.
14. Your Responsibility
We want all our customers to have an enjoyable and carefree trip. But
you must remember that you are responsible for your actions and the effect they
may have on others.
15. Law and Jurisdiction
Your contract will be governed by Egyptian law and any disputes will
be dealt with in the courts of Egypt.
