Travel Policy Guide of Min Travel
Every figure you see on our site is expressed in US Dollars (USD) by default, but paying in your home currency is never a problem. Whether you settle up in Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), or another widely traded currency, we simply apply the official exchange rate in force on the day your payment clears.
Because the travel market shifts with the seasons and with what suppliers can actually deliver, the rates we advertise are not permanent and can be revised at any moment without advance warning. The reassuring part: the second we receive your deposit or your payment in full, that figure is frozen and protected for the rest of your booking.
Here is what a Min Travel package typically puts in your hands:
- Comfortable lodging exactly as laid out in your itinerary
- Transport arranged privately or as part of a group
- Licensed, professional guides accompanying you
- Breakfast each morning, plus any additional meals noted in your plan
- Admission charges for the attractions we include
- Domestic flights or transfers wherever the trip calls for them
- Round-the-clock, 24/7 assistance from our team on the ground
For the precise list of what is and is not covered, always refer to the confirmation and itinerary tied to your own reservation.
Holiday Supplement: Trips and Nile Cruises falling over Christmas, New Year, or Easter carry a 25% surcharge, a reflection of how heavily these peak dates are booked.
How much you pay upfront to lock in a Min Travel booking comes down to what you are reserving, so our terms are grouped by service type:
- Day Tours & Excursions: the entire cost (100%) is settled at the moment you book, which confirms your spot.
- Multi-Day Tour Packages & Nile Cruises: a 30% deposit holds your reservation, with the remaining balance due no later than 15 days before you arrive.
- Christmas, New Year & Easter Bookings: these high-demand windows call for a larger 50% deposit to secure your place.
The instant your payment goes through, we email you a written confirmation, a personalized itinerary, and your travel documents, and every payment you make comes with its own receipt.
Life doesn't always go to plan, and we get that. Here is how a cancellation is handled, measured against your arrival date:
- 30 days or more before arrival: you get everything back, less whatever your bank or the transaction charges
- 15 to 29 days before arrival: a fee of 25% of the total tour cost applies
- 7 to 14 days before arrival: the cancellation fee rises to 50%
- Fewer than 7 days before arrival, or a no-show: the full 100% is charged
Where money is owed back to you, expect it within 14 business days from the day we receive your cancellation in writing. Do keep in mind that individual hotels and certain cruises enforce tougher rules of their own, and any such condition will be spelled out plainly in your itinerary.
Families are always welcome aboard our tours, and we price younger travelers on a sliding scale:
- Infants under 2 years: travel free
- Children 2–5 years: pay 25% of the adult rate
- Children 6–11 years: pay 50% of the adult rate
- Children 12 years and above: charged the full adult rate
These reduced rates hold only where a child shares a room with two adults who are each paying in full. Bear in mind that a handful of luxury hotels and Nile Cruises set their own conditions for younger guests, and any such restriction that touches your trip will appear in your itinerary.
Beyond the standard package there are a number of extra experiences you can choose to add. Reserve them ahead of time or sort them out on the spot once you are there, availability permitting. A few of the favorites travelers pick up:
- Stepping inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu and other tombs
- Evening Sound & Light Shows at the Giza Pyramids, Karnak, or Philae Temples
- A sunrise hot air balloon flight above Luxor
- Camel rides or a horse-drawn carriage through the old quarters
- Private photography sessions at the great landmarks
You can pay for these add-ons in either USD or Egyptian pounds (EGP). Booking early is wise, all the more so when you are traveling in the busy season.
Our packages cover a great deal, but a few costs fall outside them and are worth setting money aside for:
- Anything you buy for yourself, from souvenirs to snacks
- Drinks at mealtimes, unless your plan states otherwise
- In-hotel extras such as the minibar, room service, or laundry
- Your Egyptian entry visa, which is normally paid when you land
- SIM cards or internet access, unless we've arranged it for you
- Tips and any optional experiences you decide to add
It helps to keep a little Egyptian currency (EGP) on hand as you go, particularly for tipping and for picking things up in the local markets.
In Egypt, tipping (known as "baksheesh") is simply how good service is acknowledged. No one is obliged to tip, but the gesture goes a long way and is warmly received. As a rough guide:
- Tour guide: $15–$20 per day for the group
- Driver: $5–$10 per day for the group
- Nile Cruise crew: $5–$10 per person each night, pooled among the staff
- Hotel porters and housekeeping: modest tips of $1–$2
Gratuities sit outside your package price, so it's worth keeping a few small USD or EGP notes within easy reach for the moments they're called for.
FAQ
We recommend booking 6–8 months ahead, particularly for travel during October–April or the New Year holiday season, since these are the busiest periods. Late or last-minute bookings can often still be accommodated depending on hotel availability.
No, we don't sell international or domestic air tickets. Domestic flights included in this itinerary (Cairo–Aswan, Luxor–Cairo) are arranged as part of the package.
A Min Travel representative will meet you at the arrival hall holding a sign with your name (or your group's name). Please wait for our representative rather than leaving the airport independently.
Yes. We hold special rates with hotels across Egypt at every category, and can also arrange accommodation for conferences, meetings, and incentive groups.
