How payment works
Desk fees are quoted and invoiced in Egyptian pounds. International clients may settle via bank transfer to our ETA-registered entity; we issue a receipt listing tax ID 752-184-903. We do not collect museum tickets on your behalf—buy at counters to keep student discounts available.
Deposits are not required for delta-explorer. Nile-runner and delta-coordinator tiers request fifty percent before we begin guard calls, refundable minus EGP 120 admin if you cancel more than seven days ahead. Receipts list ETA 752-184-903 on every paid tier PDF attachment for corporate reimbursement.
Bank fees stay with sender—our quoted total is amount that must arrive cleared. USD cash accepted office only at daily board rate posted wall.
Choosing a tier
Pick delta-explorer if you already sleep in Mansoura and need only the municipal museum sequence with Umm El Qura gallery timing. Choose nile-runner when adding Rosetta Ottoman houses or a Damietta fish market sunrise—ferry and auction hours demand live checks. Reserve delta-coordinator for Mendes plus Kom el-Hisn combinations or family groups needing shortened walks and shaded lunches.

Pricing FAQ
Do prices include guides at sites?
Desk fees cover planning and coordination, not on-site guiding unless you add a university student guide through the campus museum module. Mansoura Museum offers occasional Arabic tours; we note times when published.
Can I upgrade tiers later?
Yes. Pay the difference before we expand guard calls. Downgrades are not available once verification calls are logged.
Are children discounted?
Desk fee is flat per itinerary, not per person. Many museums offer reduced child entry locally—we list those amounts in your PDF.
Do you price in euros or dollars?
Contracts reference EGP. Your bank converts at transfer time; we do not mark up exchange rates.
What if Ramadan shifts hours?
Nile-runner and delta-coordinator tiers include a Ramadan hour refresh at no extra desk fee if travel falls in that window.
Is VAT included?
Published tiers include applicable Egyptian service taxes per ETA guidance. Your invoice shows tax ID 752-184-903 explicitly.
