FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions travellers ask us most about booking, paying and travelling with Unlock Egypt Tours. If your question is not here, contact us or message us on WhatsApp.

How do I book a tour?

Open the tour you like, choose your date and the number of travellers, and send the booking request. You can also message us on WhatsApp or use the contact page.

Your booking is only confirmed when we confirm it to you in writing, with the date, the price and what is included.

When and how do I pay?

Nothing is paid when you send a booking request.

Day tours and transfers are paid on the day. Multi-day packages are secured with a deposit by bank transfer once we have confirmed in writing, and the balance is paid on arrival in Egypt. Full details are on our payment policy page.

Are prices per person?

Yes, tour prices are per person in US dollars, and the price per person falls as your group gets bigger. Each tour shows a price table by group size. Airport transfers are priced per vehicle, not per person.

What is included in the price?

Every tour page has an Included and a Not included list. Anything not included is listed there before you book, so please check it, especially for meals, entrance tickets to optional sites and tips.

Are the tours private?

Your guiding and transport are private for your own group. Some parts are shared with other guests by nature, such as Nile cruise ships, hot air balloons and some boat trips, and this is stated on the tour page.

Can I change my travel date?

Please contact us as early as possible. We will check availability with the guide, driver and any hotel or cruise. Changes depend on availability and, for packages, on the hotel or cruise rules set out in your written confirmation.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellation terms depend on the tour and how close to the date you cancel. They are explained in our Terms & Conditions and in your written confirmation. If anything is unclear, ask us before you book.

Can I customise my itinerary?

Yes. Tell us your dates, interests and budget on the Customise Your Trip page and we will send back a suggested itinerary and a fixed price.

I am travelling alone. Can I still book?

Yes. Our tours are private, so they run for a single traveller too. The single-traveller price is shown in each tour’s price table.

Do you offer child prices?

Child prices depend on the child’s age and the services included, so please ask us for a child price before you book.

What languages do your guides speak?

Our guides speak English. Guides in other languages can be arranged on request, subject to availability, so please ask when you book.

Can you cater for dietary needs?

Please tell us about any dietary needs or allergies when you book and we will do our best to arrange suitable meals.

How do I contact you during my trip?

Your written confirmation includes our WhatsApp number (+20 128 814 0155) and the details of your guide or driver. Our office hours are 8am–10pm Egypt time, every day.

Do I need a visa for Egypt?

Visa rules depend on your nationality. Many visitors, including UK citizens, can get a visa on arrival or an e-visa before travel, but rules change, so please check your government’s travel advice and the official Egypt e-visa website before you go.

What should I pack?

Light, breathable clothes, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, plus a light jacket for cooler evenings and the desert at night. Shoulders and knees should be covered at mosques and churches.

Do I need travel insurance?

It is not required by us, but we strongly recommend insurance that covers medical emergencies and cancellation.
