Airfare Information:
Airfares are based on Emirates economy class group fares from Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane to Cairo on Tuesday 21 April and returning from Cairo on 3 May, arriving in Australia late on 4 May. The group fare represents as significant saving over the retail fare but is dependent on a minimum of 10 people taking the same flight from Dubai to Cairo.
Therefore if you are planning to extend your trip we do encourage you to extend after the tour, rather than prior, in order to take advantage of the group fare. If the minimum number is not met an additional amount may be charged to cover the additional cost of the retail fares.
You may return on a different date or from a different city in the Middle East or Europe that is served by Emirates if you are planning to extend your stay. A fee of $100 applies to change the group flight plus any additional airfare or taxes.
Business and First class fares are available for an additional supplement and we ask that you contact our office for further details.
Please put your flight requests on the registration form and we will contact you with flight options.
