TRAVEL PERIOD: 24 Jun 2024 - 24 Mar 2025
More beautiful than a desert mirage, with thousands of years of history and culture waiting to be uncovered, Egypt is a destination that can leave you speechless. But that won’t happen on this dazzling two-for-one tour, which takes in all the highlights of Egypt and is guaranteed to have you – and a friend – talking about its wondrous sights, sounds and experiences for hours.
Over 14 unforgettable days, you’ll take in icons like the Pyramids at Giza, journey through the ages at the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities – home to the Tutankhamun exhibit – and soak up the colour and vibrancy of Old Cairo. Switching gear, climb aboard a Nile River cruise to admire the changing landscape, not to mention take in extraordinary temples including Edfu, Kom Ombo and Horus. The famed Valley of the Kings – resting place for many of the great pharaohs – is destined to be a highlight, as is the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Although it could easily end there, you’ll also have the opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful Hurghada, a resort town on the Red Sea.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy return flights, eight nights of 4-star hotel accommodation, including three at an all-inclusive resort, in addition to 22 meals, informative commentary from an English-speaking Egyptologist guide and so much more!

Egypt
A tourist visa is a strict requirement when travelling to Egypt on an Australian passport. The tourist visa is available for purchase upon arrival.
Important:
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules may have changed since Covid-19. Some countries and airlines may require you to obtain an additional visa before arrival. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.
Please note:
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for Visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.
Voluntary Changes
Includes booking changes requested by you, including but not limited to those changes requiring an airline ticket or a Purchase Confirmation reissue.
• Changes - $100.00 per booking + additional charges from the airline/cruise company/accommodation/other travel providers.
Name Changes Due To Passenger Error
• If the incorrect name has been advised to TWAC, charges of $100.00 per booking + any additional charges applied by the airline/cruise company/accommodation/other travel providers.
Supplier Fees
In the event the Travel Offer you have purchased is unable to proceed, and/or a travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the Travel Offer due to external circumstances (Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure event), there may be a fee or amount of money that is withheld by our Suppliers and is unrecoverable. This may be due to non-refundable airline tickets, cancellation penalties with cruise cabins or unrecoverable payments with our land/accommodation partners. TWAC has committed to these costs as your Agent and will endeavour to recover all funds committed and/or paid for your Travel Offer, but this may not be possible in all circumstances. If refunds are unavailable from Suppliers, we will endeavour to obtain a travel credit on the best terms available and communicate these outcomes to you. If TWAC cannot obtain a refund or travel service credit, or part thereof, this cost is passed on to the customer as a Supplier Fee. This fee is not revenue-raising and is paid to or withheld by our suppliers when recovering payments.
Although you should read all of the terms and conditions, the following is a summary of the most important:
- Our travel package is non-refundable, however you will receive a travel credit to be applied to our travel services.
- You, as our client, agree to check all documentation immediately for errors. Travel With A Cause (TWAC) does not take responsibility for incorrect dates or names supplied.
- Prices, including, in some cases, of confirmed bookings, may be subject to change.
- Some confirmed bookings are non-refundable if cancelled by you and it is your responsibility to check if this applies.
- We will be entitled to retain our service fees even if a booking is cancelled or does not proceed for any reason which is not our fault.
- It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of all information relevant to your travel plans, including but not limited to visa requirements and health precautions.
- There may be some additional fees or other incentives from Suppliers.
- We are not liable for the recent updates of any published Supplier content including websites and brochures
CANCELLATION POLICY
Tour packages are non-refundable. If your tour package is affected by Covid-19 related travel restrictions and you are unable to travel, you will receive either a free date change (credit that is specific to your original package and purchase value) or an open credit less any non-recoverable supplier fees to the value of your original purchase for use on any other tour or package available via the TWAC website.
Please note: Date change credits are subject to availability and not guaranteed until confirmed by TWAC, not the tour operator you are due to stay with.
We recommend you consider purchasing travel insurance with Covid-19 protection. The standard cancellation policy will apply if you cannot travel because you have tested positive for Covid-19.
Please note: All additional charges are payable in AUD (unless otherwise stated).
