1. Service Requests & Booking Confirmation
Our sales team contacts you through Expedition Egypt's official email address or official phone numbers.
We reply within 24–48 hours of receiving your request at the latest, depending on our workload.
Once we understand your needs, we send you the details of the proposed service or program, along with the price in US dollars or in local currency, as available.
After you approve, our sales team coordinates with you to confirm the booking and make a preliminary reservation.
We then send you the available booking confirmation documents, such as hotel confirmations, vouchers, and flight tickets when they are part of the service.

The total booking value and the amount due are made clear to you before your booking is confirmed.
Your booking is confirmed once we receive the required payment, according to the booking terms agreed with you.
Payment terms vary depending on the type of service and tour program.
Any additional fees or costs are explained to you before your booking is completed.
