Notes

Money & Budget: While major cards are accepted in hotels and larger shops, it is always a good idea to carry some local currency in cash for small purchases, local markets, and tipping. ATM machines are widely available, but having a little cash on hand makes life much easier when you're out and about.
Photography: You are welcome to take photos at most sites. However, please note that some museums or specific historical sites may restrict flash photography to preserve the ancient colors and artifacts. Always check with your guide if you aren't sure.
Health & Safety: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of bottled water, which is included in your excursions. It's always smart to carry a small personal first-aid kit with basic items like pain relievers or stomach remedies. Keep our emergency contact details saved in your phone so you can reach us at any time if you need assistance.
Travel Documents: Before you fly, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Please have your hotel bookings and flight tickets printed and ready, and keep digital copies saved on your phone for easy access. Remember to check the latest visa requirements for your nationality before departure.
Essential Trip Tips: To ensure your adventure is as seamless and enjoyable as possible, please take a moment to review these helpful tips:
Smart Packing: Pack light, breathable clothing for warmer climates, but keep a light jacket or sweater handy for cooler evenings and air-conditioned spaces. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes, a high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to stay protected while exploring ancient sites.
Tipping: Tipping is an ingrained part of local culture in many places. It is customary to offer a small tip to drivers, guides, and staff for their services. Having some small denominations of local currency handy will make this much easier for you.
Excursions here run in groups of no more than eight, smaller than most Nile cruises — worth asking about specifically if a quieter, more personal pace at each temple matters to you.
Dress Code: Some destinations are culturally conservative countries. When visiting religious sites or local neighborhoods, it's best to dress modestly—covering your shoulders and knees is appreciated. Otherwise, feel free to wear light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen to stay cool.
