Airline alternative equipment and routings are subject to change by the airline and will not result in any refunds. Flight delays and other transportation changes are unfortunate, but are an inherent risk of travel and are therefore outside the control and responsibility of Keytours. All certificates and other travel documents for travel services issued by Keytours are subject to the terms and conditions specified by the supplier and to the laws of the countries in which the services are supplied. If the services included in the tour cannot be supplied or if there are changes in an itinerary for reasons beyond the control of Keytours, the company will arrange for provision of comparable services. Keytours reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a tour participant, to expel any tour participant from the tour, to make changes in the itinerary or services whenever the company deems it necessary to the comfort, convenience or safety of the tour participants, and to cancel a tour at any time. If Keytours cancels a tour, the company has no responsibility beyond the refund of monies paid to the company by the traveler.
The tour participant agrees that neither Keytours Vacations nor its affiliates shall be liable for any damage or loss including personal injury, death, property loss, delays, change in air services, sickness, strike, war, quarantine, terrorism, bankruptcy, weather, upset, disappointment, inconvenience, or expense occasioned by any act or omission of any supplier or person providing tour services. Also, Keytours is not responsible for failure of clients to follow instructions given in travel documents including, but not limited to, check-in and check-out times and baggage handling, and failure to obtain required documentation such as passports, visas and health certificates where required. In the above cases, travelers will not be entitled to any refund. Only Keytours representatives, who possess written authority to do so, may vary, add or waive any term or condition in this contract, to include terms or conditions set forth in the preceding provisions. Any legal proceedings both on behalf of or against Keytours Vacations must be instituted only in a federal or state court located in Virginia, and such claim will be decided using the laws of the state of Virginia. Any legal proceeding against the company must commence no later than one year after the travel services have been completed.

Concerned airlines and their agents and affiliates are not to be held responsible for any act, occurrence, or events during the time passengers are not on board their aircraft. The passenger ticket constitutes the sole contract between the airlines and purchaser of these tickets and/or passengers.

isiting this region is an ideal opportunity to experience civilizations dating back over 7000 years. Combining Cairo and the Nile is an unforgettable holiday for most. Jerusalem is a spiritual experience for many travelers and a contrast to modern Tel Aviv. Jordan’s Red Rose City of Petra and the Wadi Rum Desert will complete a journey of a lifetime. VISA & PASSPORT U.S. citizens need a valid passport and visa to travel to Egypt and Jordan. To travel to Egypt, tourists can obtain a renewable 30-day tourist visa on arrival at an Egyptian airport for a fee. Jordan issues visas to U.S. citizens for a fee at most international ports of entry and land border crossings upon arrival. However, visas are not issued upon arrival at the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge) land border crossing. Israel entry and visa requirements are subject to change. Check before traveling.
SPOKEN LANGUAGES Arabic is the written and spoken language in Egypt and Jordan. In Israel the two official languages are Hebrew and Arabic while English has semi-official status. SHOPPING You will find many local bazaars in this region offering a variety of goods. Bargaining is part of the shopping experience if you want to get a good deal. MUST SEE The Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum, the wonderful sites along the Nile River, the World Heritage Sites of Petra and Jerash in Jordan, the old cities of Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
LOCAL CUSTOMS Muslims pray five times a day and during Ramadan Muslims must fast. In this region do not be surprised if you hear the local Imam calling for prayer from your hotel. In Tel Aviv you will find a modern way of life with many local traditions still observed.

Airline alternative equipment and routings are subject to change by the airline and will not result in any refunds. Flight delays and other transportation changes are unfortunate, but are an inherent risk of travel and are therefore outside the control and responsibility of Keytours. All certificates and other travel documents for travel services issued by Keytours are subject to the terms and conditions specified by the supplier and to the laws of the countries in which the services are supplied. If the services included in the tour cannot be supplied or if there are changes in an itinerary for reasons beyond the control of Keytours, the company will arrange for provision of comparable services. Keytours reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a tour participant, to expel any tour participant from the tour, to make changes in the itinerary or services whenever the company deems it necessary to the comfort, convenience or safety of the tour participants, and to cancel a tour at any time. If Keytours cancels a tour, the company has no responsibility beyond the refund of monies paid to the company by the traveler.
The tour participant agrees that neither Keytours Vacations nor its affiliates shall be liable for any damage or loss including personal injury, death, property loss, delays, change in air services, sickness, strike, war, quarantine, terrorism, bankruptcy, weather, upset, disappointment, inconvenience, or expense occasioned by any act or omission of any supplier or person providing tour services. Also, Keytours is not responsible for failure of clients to follow instructions given in travel documents including, but not limited to, check-in and check-out times and baggage handling, and failure to obtain required documentation such as passports, visas and health certificates where required. In the above cases, travelers will not be entitled to any refund. Only Keytours representatives, who possess written authority to do so, may vary, add or waive any term or condition in this contract, to include terms or conditions set forth in the preceding provisions. Any legal proceedings both on behalf of or against Keytours Vacations must be instituted only in a federal or state court located in Virginia, and such claim will be decided using the laws of the state of Virginia. Any legal proceeding against the company must commence no later than one year after the travel services have been completed.
