"faqs": [
{
"q": "How early is pickup for a Cairo day from Hurghada?",
"a": "By coach between 02:00 and 03:30 depending on your hotel, back around midnight. By plane pickup about 04:30, back about 22:00. It is a long day; bring a neck pillow and sleep on the bus."
},
{
"q": "Bus or plane from the Red Sea?",
"a": "The coach is the cheapest: 5.5 to 7 hours each way with a guide on board, shared with other guests. The plane takes an hour from Hurghada or Sharm, then a private car and Egyptologist in Cairo, so you have more time at the sites. Families with small children and anyone who dislikes long drives choose the plane."
},
{
"q": "Is the road from the Red Sea safe?",
"a": "Yes. Transfers between the Red Sea and Cairo or Luxor have run daily without convoy since 2016. Vehicles are licensed, drivers are rested and the guide carries a Ministry of Tourism ID."
},
{
"q": "Do you pick up from El Gouna, Makadi, Soma Bay, Safaga or Marsa Alam?",
"a": "Yes. A small per-person surcharge (5 to 25 EUR depending on the distance) is shown in the booking form before you confirm. From Marsa Alam we offer Luxor by car and Cairo by plane only."
},
{
"q": "Are entry tickets included?",
"a": "Yes, for every site listed in the itinerary. Optional extras are stated on each tour (inside the Great Pyramid, the Seti I tomb, the Nefertari tomb, the mummies hall when not listed) and paid on the spot."
},
{
"q": "Can I go inside a pyramid?",
"a": "Yes. The Great Pyramid ticket is about 900 EGP and sold at the plateau; the third pyramid (Menkaure) is included in the VIP tour; the Red Pyramid at Dahshur is included in the Saqqara day."
},
{
"q": "Is the Grand Egyptian Museum fully open?",
"a": "Yes, including the Tutankhamun galleries. Plan three hours with a guide; a full day if you love museums."
},
{
"q": "Which tombs do I see in the Valley of the Kings?",
"a": "The general ticket gives three tombs from a rotating list (usually Ramses IV, Ramses IX, Merenptah or Ramses III). Tutankhamun, Seti I and Ramses V/VI are extra and can be added on the spot or booked with the tours that include them."
},
{
"q": "What should I wear?",
"a": "Light clothes, closed shoes, a hat and sunscreen. Shoulders and knees covered for mosques and churches; scarves are lent at the door. A light jacket for winter mornings and the balloon."
},
{
"q": "Are the tours private?",
"a": "Tours booked from Cairo or Luxor, and every flight and private-car option, are private with your own Egyptologist. The coach option from Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh is shared with a guide on board; a private guide at the sites can be added."
},
{
"q": "Can children come?",
"a": "Yes on every tour except the balloon (from 6 years). Children 4 to 11 pay the child price; under 4 travel free on the lap. On flight options an infant fee applies."
},
{
"q": "What language does the guide speak?",
"a": "English on every tour. German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Russian on request at booking, subject to availability, no surcharge for the main languages."
},
{
"q": "Is lunch included?",
"a": "Full days include lunch at a local restaurant (drinks extra) unless the tour says otherwise; half days and evenings state what is included."
},
{
"q": "Is there a lot of walking?",
"a": "The Giza plateau is 2 to 3 km spread over the visit, Karnak about 2 km, the Valley of the Kings tombs have ramps and stairs. Tell us about mobility needs and we adapt the order and use the electric trains."
},
{
"q": "When is the best time of year?",
"a": "October to April, 20 to 28 °C. Summer days start earlier and end earlier; Luxor in July reaches 40 °C, so the balloon and the temples happen before 11:00."
},
{
"q": "How do I pay?",
"a": "You book without a card. Pay on the day in EUR (or the equivalent in EGP or USD) to the guide, or by bank transfer in advance. Flight options need the flight paid 72 hours before travel; we send the link."
},
{
"q": "What is the cancellation policy?",
"a": "Free up to 24 hours before pickup; 48 hours for tours with a flight. A balloon flight cancelled by Civil Aviation for wind is refunded in full."
},
{
"q": "Can I book for tomorrow?",
"a": "Bus and car days until 18:00 the day before, if seats remain. Flight days three days ahead. For same-day requests message us on WhatsApp."
},
{
"q": "How do I know the booking is confirmed?",
"a": "You receive an email with a reference within minutes and a WhatsApp or email from the team with the exact pickup time within the hour in daytime (Egypt time). The pickup time is repeated the evening before."
