IT ALL BEGAN in 1973…

A young Aussie vet working in England stumbled upon a paddock of retired Double Decker buses. With just £400, a few bunk beds and a flash of inspiration, Topdeck was born! Topdeck has been operating trips in Egypt and the neighbouring regions for nearly 20 years and has unrivalled experience. Our new brochure

gives you a wider choice than ever before. This year we are excited to introduce Syria, which we tip to be the next hot spot for travel! This part of the world is steeped in history and fascinating cultures, and with breathtaking landscapes all around, whichever trip you choose, a memorable adventure is guaranteed.

Welcome to Topdeck in Egypt » At Topdeck, we have one overriding passion, to give 18 to 30 somethings the travel experience of a lifetime. And, as we have been doing it since 1973 we know more than a bit on how to do it. All our Topdeck Trip Leaders are English speaking, professionally trained locals with an empowering passion for their own country. They deliver a quality and enthusiasm for you, which can’t be matched by the ex-pat Trip Leaders of other operators. They also offer that added security which means it’s 100% relaxation time for you!

Typical of our Trip Leaders are Tamer & Rafik in Egypt. Tamer has worked with Topdeck since 1989, so he knows our clients as well as he knows his country. Rafik, born in Egypt, spent 15 years living in Australia so he knows the type of experience you want and blends a unique mixture of culture, history and fun to all the programmes. Whichever country you visit, rest assured you’ll get a proper local’s perspective which is key to a great travel experience.

Topdeck rises ahead of other operators in our choice of accommodation. For the majority of our itineraries, we stay in quality 3* & 4* hotels, all with air-conditioning of course! We also offer two trips for those working to a slightly lower budget where we stay in tourist class hotels. This year, we invite you to Share the Experience with Topdeck!

Hotel, Felucca or Cruiseship ways to stay » Fancy a night on a four-star cruise liner? Or on a felucca cruising the Nile? Or camping amongst the stars in the Sahara? With Topdeck, all these are possible. Our hotels are all hand-picked for their quality and location, and range from budget options to four-star properties, depending on the programme you choose.

A highlight of any trip to Egypt is staying on a felucca. These traditional wooden sailing boats give you a unique view of Egypt’s gorgeous landscape. Facilities are basic but this is a true local experience. Sunbathing by day and an evening meal and campfire by night on the banks of the Nile.

swiss inn hotel Plenty of our Egypt trips stay at this gem of a hotel in Cairo. The view from the roof-top swimming pool overlooking Cairo is spectacular!

4 Star Nile Cruising Four star travel at budget prices! These cruise ships have all the luxuries and amenities you’d expect - swimming pool, sun loungers, comfy beds and plenty of shops.

Berber campsite Sleep under the stars in Morocco at a traditional Berber Campsite. Here you’ll join your fellow Topdeckers for a truly authentic experience you’ll never forget.

EXCURSIONS,

optionals & highlights » With so much to do in Egypt, you may feel overwhelmed by the choices available to you! Don’t worry, Topdeck is here to help! Our optional activities are carefully selected to give you the widest range of choice in all price brackets. These are some of our favourites:

a note about entrances In Morocco, Jordan and Syria we have included entrance fees in your trip price. We are able to include entrances fees in these countries as costs can be guaranteed and the group prices we obtain are much better than any other discounts offered. In Egypt, the prices change regularly and discounts for groups or students vary. For this reason we cannot include entrance fees accurately and have therefore not included them in your trip price. Your Trip Leader will arrange the most cost-effective option. A guide to these prices is available on our website.,

ABU SIMBEL

EAST BANK

GIFTON ISLAND

This destination is so popular, we include it as standard on the majority of trips in this brochure (unlike some others who charge an arm and a leg for the same excursion!). The sight of the amazing temple complex of Abu Simbel will stay with you for life.

Home to Karnak and the Luxor Temples, the East Bank of Luxor is a must-see – our excursion is standard on the majority of our trips.

We think Gifton Island is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Think stunning coral reefs, colourful fish and amazing wildlife. Our day excursion to Gifton includes lunch and is sure to delight.

VALLEY OF THE KINGS We want you to see the Valley of the Kings so much, we have included it on nearly ALL our trips that go to Egypt! In modern times the valley has become famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun (with its rumours of the Curse of the Pharaohs!) – what will you discover?

QUAD BIKING Hang on to your seat and set out on a desert safari on quad bikes the best way to see the desert!

River Nile DINNER CRUISE Cruise down the Nile on our dinner cruise where you’ll enjoy great food and be entertained by a belly dancer, live music and Darwish dance.

NUBIAN VILLAGE & DINNER Travel by boat (and camel!) to an authentic Nubian Village for an unforgettable day out. Meet the villagers, learn some local language skills and end the day with dinner in a local home. The memories of this day will last a lifetime.

3 DAYS FROM CAIRO Day 1 Cairo – Petra. After breakfast we transfer to the port of Nuweiba and catch the ferry to Aqaba, situated on the tip of the Red Sea. From Aqaba we head to beautiful Petra where we stay overnight ready for our visit the next morning. Day 2 Petra – Wadi Rum. We have most of the day to enjoy the awesome Rose city carved out of the mountain. Petra’s importance grew due to the caravan trade, but with the development of sea trade it dwindled and by the 14th century was effectively lost to the west, only being rediscovered in 1812. Our local guide will make the city come to life.

Day 4 Petra. A full day to enjoy, and take in, the awesome Rose city. Petra’s importance grew due to the caravan trade, but with the development of sea trade its importance dwindled and by the 14th century it was effectively lost to the West, only being rediscovered in 1812. Our local guide will make Petra come to life. (B)

Day 1 Amman. Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport and meet our Topdeck representative. A transfer to the hotel is included. Day 2 Amman. We head north through the olive groves to the ancient city of Jerash. Our local guide shows us around the complex. See Hadrian’s Arch, built to commemorate his visit in 129AD. The hippodrome, which hosted the chariot races, could hold 15,000 spectators, and the colonnaded main street still has the ruts made from the chariots. From Jerash we visit Ajloun Castle with spectacular views over the Jordan Valley. We arrive back in Amman for the evening. (B)

Day 5 Petra – Wadi Rum. Today we head off to the desert stopping first at ‘Little Petra’. This maze of rockscapes rise from the desert floor to a height of up to 1750 metres. We transfer to 4x4 Jeeps for a journey through stunning desert landscape. Tonight we stay in a desert camp. (B,D) Day 6 Petra – Amman. Heading for the western side of Jordan we travel to the Dead Sea. The high salinity of the water means you literally bob about on the surface. We spend time here swimming, and relaxing before heading back to Amman late afternoon. (B)

Day 3 Amman – Petra. We travel to the town of Madaba, the Christian centre of Jordan, famous for its mosaics. From here it is not far to Mt Nebo where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land. Then we head off to the Mujeb Valley, known as the Grand Canyon of Jordan – the valley is 1km deep and 4km wide. We also stop at Karak one of Jordan’s most famous castles before arriving in Petra (B).

GOT A QUESTION? How many people in my group? Experiencing a new country with people who have the same outlook on travelling as you, really adds to the enjoyment. With an average group size in 2009 of 25 in Egypt, 15 in Morocco and 10 in Jordan and Israel, you easily get to know everyone and longstanding friendships are made. And there’s no issue if you are travelling alone. With over 50% of our passengers starting their trip alone, Topdeck is great for single travellers so you don’t have to worry about being without some good company – and better still there is no compulsory single supplement.

What is the local payment? To give you the best value we have arranged that an element of your trip cost is paid locally. This amount is listed on each itinerary page. This payment should be paid in cash in the currency mentioned at the arrival meeting on day 1. This payment is not used for any specific expense and forms part of the total package price of your trips. By paying locally, we are able to keep costs down for you and this allows you additional time to save money for your trip.

What is included with my trip? Loads of things! Check out the What’s Included box on each trip page. Everything that is included within the trip price such as accommodation, meals, sightseeing and modes of transport are

listed here. Breakfast is included daily and will vary between cooked and continental. Lunches and dinners are included where listed on the trip itinerary.

Are entrance fees included? In Morocco, Jordan and Syria we have included entrance fees in your trip price. We are able to offer this as entrance fees in these countries can be guaranteed and the group prices we can obtain are much better than any other discounts offered. In Egypt, the prices change regularly and discounts for groups or students varies. For this reason we cannot include entrance fees in an accurate manner and have therefore not included them in your trip price. Your Trip Leader will arrange the most costeffective option on your trip. A guide to current entrance fees is available on our website.

What type of accommodation will I stay in? For the majority of our itineraries, we stay in superior quality 3* & 4* hotels, all with air-conditioning of course! You also have the opportunity to stay in a tent in the stunning desert landscapes of Jordan or Morocco – a unique experience! We also offer trips for those working to a slightly lower budget where we stay in tourist class hotels. Perfect for leaving a bit more cash to spend on some of the great optionals available. Look out for the ‘budget’ symbol.

How do I get to my destination? Because our passengers fly in from all over the world, and to give you the chance to grab great flight deals locally, we do not include flights with our packages. You’ll be able to source the best deals either from the internet or your travel agent. We include a meet & greet at the airport and transfers to your hotel at all our destinations, which means a stress free start of your holiday!

Can I extend my stay? As well as being able to arrange pre and post-trip accommodation for you, there are also bolt on packages that you can add to your holiday. Spend some more time in bustling Cairo, visit the rose city of Petra and the stunning scenery of Wadi Rum or take an excursion to historic Alexandria. Or add on some hiking in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and visit the Berber villages.

Can I learn to dive? Topdeck’s Learn to Dive in Dahab is the perfect trip for people learning to dive. All equipment (with the exception of the dive manual) is included in the trip price. If you are an experienced diver and need a refresher course, these can be booked for an additional USD$30. Guided dives are also available for passengers who already have an Open Water Licence and had been for a dive within the last six months (supplement applies).

What kind of transportation does Topdeck use? From 1st Class recliner seat trains, to 4*luxury Nile cruise boats, to the latest model air-conditioned mini-buses – our choice and quality of each mode of transportation (all included in your trip price) will ensure you arrive at each destination feeling refreshed and ready to explore. Please note that for operational reasons we sometimes substitute private luxury coaches in place of overnight trains in Egypt. This will not affect your itinerary or places visited.

What should I bring? It’s mostly dry and varies between hot days and mild nights in the summer months to warm days and cool nights in the winter. Lightweight cottons and linens are recommended for the summer with some warmer clothing needed for winter. For trips that include a felucca sail, it is important that you bring a sleeping bag with you. Be sure to bring a swimming costume with you (although for winter departures this isn’t as important!). Local currency is easily available from the numerous cash machines but you should have some cash (US$ or GBP) with you on arrival. Tipping is expected for quite a few things (carrying your luggage etc) but you only need to give a small amount and your Trip Leader will advise you.

Once You have accepted this price and your booking has been confirmed in accordance with clause 2 that price will remain fixed and will not be subject to surcharges. 5.

In the event of a request for a change to be made a new invoice will be issued by Topdeck and cancellation charges/amendment fees will be shown. All amendment fees are payable within 7 days of the issue of a new invoice or on the date of departure, whichever is the sooner. 6. If You are prevented from travelling as a result of illness, the death of an immediate family member, jury service or other significant reason beyond your control, we will agree to your booking being transferred to another person who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the trip, subject to You and the other person accepting liability for full payment of the trip cost and any additional costs arising from the transfer PROVIDED THAT we must be given at least 21 days written notice of the proposed change.

A material modification is one which has a serious effect on your trip and includes a change of departure date, departure point or airport, or change of departure time of more than twelve hours, which would cause substantial inconvenience to You. 10. We will endeavour not to materially modify or cancel the trip within 42 days of the date of the scheduled departure unless compelled to do so because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Normally the maximum group size is 45 passengers. Our liability to You 13. Save where the provisions of Force Majeure apply, in the event that the trip does not reasonably comply with the description in the brochure, we may compensate You to a maximum value equal to twice the price of the trip but excluding insurance premiums and amendment fees AND we will only be liable to pay the maximum amount of compensation where there has been a total failure of consideration for your payment. Where the failure to provide such trip is not caused by any fault of ours, its agents or suppliers or is caused by or contributed to by You, we will not be liable to pay any compensation. 14. If You are killed, injured or become ill during or as a result of, carriage by aircraft, ship, train or coach forming part of the trip in circumstances where such death, injury or illness is not caused by or contributed to by You our liability to pay damages and/or the amount of compensation we will be liable to pay is limited in accordance with the liability of a carrier under any international Convention applicable to such events, including, but not limited to: • In respect of carriage by air, the Montreal Convention 1999 or the Warsaw Convention 1929 (including as amended by the Hague Protocol of 1955 and by any of the Montreal Additional Protocol of 1975); • In respect of carriage by sea: the Athens Convention 1974; • In respect of carriage by rail , the Berne Convention 1961; and, • In respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973. 15.

In respect of death or personal injury, the liability of an air carrier under the Montreal Convention and the Warsaw Convention is limited to death or bodily injury caused by an accident which takes place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking. You should also note that these Conventions may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to You and the amount which the carrier has to pay to You. You should also know that the carrier will rely upon its ‘conditions of carriage’ which may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to You and limit compensation under any international Conventions. 16. In the event that we (or our insurers) make any payment to You for death, personal injury or illness, You must give us or our insurers all and any rights You may have to take action against the party responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness and You must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment we may make from such party.

17. Your booking is accepted on the understanding that You appreciate the possible risks inherent in adventure travel and that You undertake the trips featured in this brochure of your own volition. Every effort will be made to operate all trips featured in this brochure but because of the number of countries visited on trips there may be a necessity to vary the itinerary from that stated in the brochure, and delays may occur for a variety of reasons beyond our control. The need for a flexible attitude to this type of travel is stressed in our publication. The final decision on the itinerary and the content of the trip will be taken by the Trip Leader, as appointed by us in the interest of the group as a whole. 18. No refund will be made for services made available by Topdeck but which for whatever reason are not used by You once the trip has departed. Exclusion of Liability – Force Majeure 19. We do not accept liability for any loss, damage or expense resulting from war or terrorist activities threatened or actual, civil unrest, industrial action threatened or actual, weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, closures, unforeseen alterations to public transport schedules, rescheduling of aircraft or boats, epidemic or outbreaks of illness or any other event outside our control which either delays or extends or reduces the trip, or compels a change in the trip arrangements after departure. Contravention of Law We will not be responsible for any loss or damage sustained by You as a result of a contravention of any law or regulation of any of the countries visited while on the trip. Health and Medical Conditions 20. If You have a medical condition or disability which may affect your trip, we ask that You inform us in writing at the time of booking the trip of any special arrangements required by You so that we are able to advise as to the suitability of those arrangements. If we reasonably feel we are unable to satisfactorily accommodate your particular needs, we reserve the right to decline the booking or ask for You to be accompanied by a person who is able to provide full assistance to You throughout your trip. Your liability to us 21. You will not be permitted to embark or continue on the trip if your mental or physical condition is, in the reasonable opinion of any representative of ours, such as to render You incapable of caring for yourself, or whereby You become objectionable to other passengers, or You become a hazard to yourself or other passengers. We will not be responsible for expenses resulting in You being precluded from completing the trip for any reason, nor will we refund You any part of your trip cost. In all cases we will notify You of the reasons why we have taken this action. We will have no obligation to arrange for your return to the point of the trip departure where your condition manifests itself after the trip departure. Further, if the trip involves travel by air, the captain of your aircraft can refuse to allow You to fly on the aircraft if he believes that You could be dangerous or disruptive to other passengers on the flight. Travel Documents 22. Please ensure You carefully read your invoice, tickets and all other documents we send to You as soon as You receive them, and contact your travel agent, or us immediately if any information appears to be incorrect. We will not accept any liability if You fail to notify us of any inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of us sending them to You or your agent. While we will do our best to rectify any changes made outside this time, it is your responsibility to meet any additional costs which may be involved, except in the case of an error made by us and where there is reasonable justification for You not contacting us within the specified time.

Your insurance protection must include cover for cancellation, medical and repatriation expenses, personal injury and accident, death and loss of personal baggage and money and personal liability insurance. Evidence of such insurances must be produced to us on request. Insurance cover offered by credit card companies or reciprocal medical cover agreements are often not comprehensive. 24. You hereby indemnify us against all third-party actions taken against us for loss or damage caused by You or arising from your participation on the trip. 25. In the event of You making a claim against us arising out of the trip, You hereby assign to us, any rights to take action against any third party supplier or any other person or party that we reasonably considers to be a party to the action and to cooperate fully with us should we or our insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to us. 26.

We agree to indemnify You in respect

of reasonable expenses incurred in successfully pursuing such a claim and acknowledge that any settlement made by the insurer shall not prejudice your rights against us. 27. In the event of You not making a claim before 5 working days of the maximum length of time permitted by your policy, You must assign, by letter sent by courier delivery to us not less than 5 working days prior to the said specified time, the benefit of the policy and give immediate notice of such an assignment to your insurer. Complaints 28. In the event of any dissatisfaction with the accommodation or any other service provided by Topdeck, You must report it immediately to the Trip Leader so that action can be taken to remedy the problem. Failure to notify the Trip Leader of any problem immediately may prejudice us and may result in your ability to claim compensation from us being extinguished or reduced. Any complaint made to us following the conclusion of the trip should be made in writing within 28 days of completion of the trip. In the event that You do not notify us in writing within 28 days, our ability to investigate the complaint may be prejudiced and may extinguish your claim. Data Protection 29. We have measures in place to protect the personal booking information held by it. However, in order to make your booking and ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly, we need to use the information You provide and pass it on to the trip operator or other relevant suppliers who are responsible for your travel arrangements. In making this booking, your consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons is deemed to be given unless You object and advise us of your objection at the time of booking. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as Customs or Immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This consent applies to any sensitive information that You give to us such as details of any disabilities or dietary/religious requirements. Smoking 30.
