Escorted pier access billed separately through licensed guides; typical escort day fees range EGP 800–1500 depending on scope. We quote exact figures after reviewing your lane selection.

Payment and cancellation

We invoice after confirming dates. Bank transfer to our Egyptian business account is preferred; card payment available through a registered gateway with standard processing fee disclosed upfront. Cancellations fourteen or more days before the first planned convoy day receive full desk fee refund minus EGP 80 admin charge. Inside fourteen days we retain fifty percent to cover scheduling labour already performed. No-shows forfeit the desk fee but may reschedule once within six months if convoy forecasts were delivered.

What each tier excludes

Canal-viewer delivers one static PDF without live monitoring—ideal if you already live in Egypt and can self-adjust. Transit-planner assumes you are travelling from Cairo or Alexandria and need same-day nudges when Bitter Lakes queues shift. Fleet-coordinator assumes multiple stakeholders—captain, producer, hospitality manager—requiring parallel document trails and permit scans. None include physical escort labour; that invoice stays with the licensed guide we introduce.

Add-ons quoted separately

Escorted pier day, post-visit archive for canal-viewer clients, extra calendar days beyond three for fleet revisions, and airport ground-transfer modelling each carry flat supplements listed in reply emails. We never auto-charge add-ons without written approval on your thread.

Sample cost stack for a Cairo weekender

Assume transit-planner tier EGP 1200 plus taxi Cairo–Port Said round trip EGP 900, Military Museum tickets two adults EGP 160, lunch EGP 350, and optional escorted pier EGP 1200. Total leisure budget near EGP 3810 excluding hotel. Canal-viewer tier drops desk fee to EGP 550 but removes same-day delay SMS—you self-monitor SCA notices.

Corporate invoicing

Fleet-coordinator clients receive invoices with VAT line, registry 451823, and purchase order references you supply. Payment terms net fifteen for approved shipping agencies with signed master agreement; otherwise prepay before itinerary release.

Group size economics

Tiers price per party up to six travellers. Seventh person adds EGP 180 planning surcharge covering extra viewpoint timing for larger foot print. Groups above twelve must book fleet-coordinator with custom quote reflecting multiple escort introductions.

Seasonal demand notes

March and April see highest convoy photography demand; book two weeks ahead when possible. August humidity lowers terrace comfort but also lowers tourist volume—easier museum access. National holidays may close SCA exhibits; we replan without tier upgrade if we miss closure notice.

Pricing FAQ

Do tiers include museum admission?

No. Museum tickets are purchased on-site in Egyptian pounds. We list current adult fares in your itinerary so you can budget accurately.

Can I upgrade after paying canal-viewer?

Yes before we deliver the final PDF. Pay the difference between tiers and we expand scope immediately.

Are prices per person or per group?

Per enquiry party up to six travellers. Larger groups contact us for fleet-coordinator custom quotes beyond EGP 2400.

Do you charge in USD?

Invoices default to EGP. USD equivalents appear for reference using the Central Bank of Egypt daily rate on invoice date—not informal street rates.

What if no convoy passes on my date?

Extremely rare for full-day windows. If SCA publishes zero transits, we replan your day toward museums and Mediterranean options at no tier upgrade cost.

Is VAT included in listed prices?

Yes. ETA tax ID 738-492-617 appears on every invoice with applicable Egyptian VAT line item.

Can agencies resell your planning?

Only with written reseller agreement. Contact [email protected] with GAFI or foreign registry proof.
