EXPERIENCE EGYPT Egypt is a land of contrasts that just begs to be explored. Home to Africa’s largest city, almost 97% of Egypt is unpopulated desert. It has a very young population but is known best for its 5,000 year old Pharaohs. Wonder at its awe-inspiring stone edifices, as white sailed boats float lazily on the mighty Nile. Enjoy the sights, sounds and bustle of street markets and bazaars, and the calm of crystal clear waters and colourful corals framed by sandy white beaches.
Find out more at redseaholidays.co.uk/egypt A treat for the taste buds Egypt offers a mouthwatering mix of Mediterranean and North African cuisine, with staples like aysh (pita bread), fool (fava beans), mezze (Egyptian tapas) and kufta (minced lamb kebabs). And no meal is complete without some oh-so-naughty baklava – delicious sweet pastries. Tea is served Arabian style, very sweet with milk and lemon on the side. The coffee, though, is Turkish – strong, thick and black!
Haggle away! Leave your inhibitions behind and do as the natives do – haggle. Famous bazaars such as the Khan el-Khalili, as well as the individual stores that pepper the streets, can offer great bargains, particularly when you are buying a speciality of the area, such as alabaster in Luxor, or antiques, fine clothing and jewellery in Cairo. Decide on your final price before you start, start low, be prepared for the shop owner to start high and enjoy the resulting game that will get you to meet in the middle.
Weather Typical of any desert country, the summer (May to October) is hot and the winter (November to April) mild. Inland areas like Luxor are hotter than the coast during the day, but then cool off much faster at night. Light coloured clothes, sun cream and headwear are recommended for the day while for the evenings it’s advisable to pack something cosy to keep you warm.
RESORT GUIDE Luxor
Site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes – once capital of Egypt – Luxor allows you to experience ancient and contemporary Egypt side-by-side.
Cairo
The vibrant city of Cairo and nearby Giza are home to Egypt’s most iconic sites: the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum.
Makadi Bay
Perfectly suited to families and anyone seeking a relaxing, tranquil escape from the bustle of everyday life.

Marsa Alam The Red Sea’s rising stars, Marsa Alam and Port Ghalib are every bit as pristine as their coral reefs.
Sharm El Sheikh A cosmopolitan coastline of resorts, fringed with coral beaches, crystal-clear waters and some of the world’s best reef diving.

HURGHADA This former fishing village is now a lively, family friendly resort that has risen from the desert to provide the perfect combination of luxurious hotels, contemporary restaurants, boutiques and cafes. It comprises three main areas: El Dahar, the old town, with its traditional souks and local nightlife; Sakkala, the old harbour and nearby new marina, home to many bars, restaurants and nightclubs; and El Memsha, the main resort area, with its modern hotel developments following the coastal road.
Find out more at redseaholidays.co.uk/hurghada Hurghada’s coral “gardens” are some of the finest in the world. The warm waters are home to colourful coral reefs and many varieties of rare fish, making them a magnet for divers. Exploring the reefs is easy for non-divers, too, whether snorkelling or from the comfort of a glass bottomed boat. Watersports and sun bathing are just some of the daytime attractions, and by night Hurghada comes alive with the opportunity to shop, dine and dance the night away. Shop ‘til you drop Bazaars are a great place to spend the evening, be entertained and enjoy the fun of haggling for a bargain. Start low, they’ll start high and hopefully where you meet will be the price you had hoped to pay. Senzo Mall, on the outskirts of Hurghada, offers western style shopping with great prices on international brands, plus cafes and a multiplex cinema.
Did you know? The Red Sea is regularly visited by 8 different species of dolphin and whale, including three species of bottlenose dolphin.
Top Hurghada Tip Enjoy a night out at the marina with its stylilsh cafés, pubs and nightclubs.

EL GOUNA “Carving paradise out of the desert”, was the developer’s aim when El Gouna was first conceived. Today, some 20 years later, this sophisticated beach resort, of islands and interlinked lagoons, is popular for its wealth of watersports as well as its dining and evening entertainment.
Find out more at redseaholidays.co.uk/elgouna The stylish Kafr El Gouna / Abu Tig Marina area of boutique shopping, restaurants, bars and nightclubs make it particularly attractive to couples and families with younger children, while its wealth of watersports, including scuba diving, water-skiing, kite surfing, parasailing and snorkelling, as well as its famous golf course, means there is plenty to keep you occupied during the day. Other attractions around town include a small aquarium, go-kart track, paintball arena, tennis courts, horse stables and a football stadium. Top El Gouna Tip Don’t forget your golf clubs. El Gouna is built around a beautiful 18 hole, par 72 golf course. (Don’t worry if you do forget: they offer club hire, too!).
Shop ‘til you drop There is an excellent selection of quality boutiques, mainly clustered around the Abu Tig Marina, offering jewellery, local crafts and clothing.
Did you know? El Gouna has been recognised officially as Egypt’s most environmentally-friendly holiday destination by Green Globe International, a non-profit organisation that promotes environmentally and socially responsible tourism.

BOOKING CONDITIONS
Our agreement with you Please read carefully the booking conditions below. These set out the Terms and Conditions of the contract between you and Red Sea Holidays UK Ltd, trading as Red Sea Holidays (’we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’). We are a limited company, registered in England. Our registered company number is 06418075 and our registered office is 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3TW. The contract will be governed by English Law and any dispute, claim or other matter which may arise in relation to your booking will be dealt with in the Courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to deal with any dispute in the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland, as appropriate. These Terms contain some exclusions and limitations of liability. If any part of the conditions proves to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the conditions will remain valid.
Your holiday package
The person who signs the booking form, or completes the booking online or by telephone is the ‘Lead Name’. He or she must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking and will be responsible for the full cost of the holiday, including any insurance premiums and cancellation or amendment charges. We will send any documents and other information regarding the booking to the Lead Name who is responsible for providing other members of the travelling party with full and accurate information, including details of any changes, and for confirming that all members of the party agree to be bound by these conditions, and the other information published in the relevant brochure or our website. If you are making the booking on behalf of a minor under the age of 18, who is not travelling with a person aged 18 or older, we require a letter of consent from a parent or legal guardian. The minimum age of unaccompanied travel is 16 years on the day of departure. All bookings are subject to our Terms in conjunction with the information in our brochure or website, and any restrictions described in our Holiday Information guide Our contract with you is made when we accept your holiday enquiry and send you a confirmation invoice, at which point we will set aside your chosen accommodation and transport. We will send you or (if you are booking through a travel agent) your travel agent a confirmation invoice within 7 days. Please check that the holiday on the invoice is the one that you wanted. We are responsible for providing the holiday we have confirmed to you. If you cancel or alter your booking later on, you may have to pay an amendment charge. If you book within 7 days of your departure date or if there is not enough time to send you a written confirmation, a contract between us will exist when we confirm your booking. We reserve the right to refuse your booking. If we do this we will refund any money already paid to us.
Prices
All prices advertised are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to increase or decrease any of those prices from time to time, and to correct any errors in the advertised prices. The price for your holiday package will be confirmed at the time of booking and will include all charges and any UK taxes or governmental levies that apply to your holiday at the time of booking; subject to the correction of errors, we will only change the price in the circumstances described below.
We provide full financial protection for our package holidays, by way of our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number, ATOL 9749. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). For further information visit the ATOL website at www. atol.org.uk. If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
Payment
When you make a holiday package booking you must pay a deposit of £75 per person plus any insurance premiums. No deposit is payable for infants under the age of 2 years on the date of return. Payment of the rest of your holiday price is due at least 10 weeks before the date of departure. If you do not pay in full by 10 weeks before departure your holiday will be cancelled and you will lose your deposit. When booking within 10 weeks of departure, full payment is required at the time of booking. Tickets will not be issued until your holiday has been paid for. Some airlines and non-brochured flight options require tickets to be issued at time of booking (restricted fares) and these may not be refundable; if we have to make special flight arrangements, we reserve the right to charge you the full cost of these flights by way of a higher deposit at the time you book your holiday, and will advise you of the increased deposit cost before confirming your booking. When you make a flight-only booking, full payment is required at the time of booking. We accept payment in cash, by cheque and major credit and debit cards. If you choose to pay by credit card, there will be a 2.5% fee added to your booking. Cheques require 5 working days to clear, and will only be accepted where they will clear at least 10 weeks prior to departure. If you book through a travel agent, any money which you pay to that travel agent under or in contemplation of any contract with us is held by them on our behalf until the date of actual payment to us.
Price changes after booking Price increases or decreases after booking will be passed on by way of a surcharge or refund. A surcharge or refund (as applicable) will be payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause, if our costs increase or decrease as a result of (as applicable) transportation costs, dues, taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports or any changes in the exchange rates which have been used to calculate the cost of your holiday. Even in the above cases, only if the amount of the increase in our costs exceeds 2% of the total cost of your holiday (excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges) will we levy a surcharge. If any surcharge is greater than 10% of the cost of your holiday (excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges), you will be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to the Company (except for any amendment charges) or alternatively purchase another holiday from us. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. You have 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice to tell us if you want to cancel your holiday or purchase another holiday. If you do not tell us that you wish to do so within this period of time, we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of the holiday or within 14 days of the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice, whichever is the later. We promise not to levy a surcharge within 30 days of the start of your holiday. No refunds will be made within this period either.
Insurance
Exchange rates The exchange rates we use are calculated and updated bi-annually by reference to the FTO base date with exchange rates as published in the Financial Times under the section ‘FT Guide to World Currencies’.
Your travel documents will be issued as an “e-ticket”. For direct bookings, the e-ticket will be sent to the email address you provide at the time of booking. For bookings made through a travel agency, the e-ticket will be emailed to the travel agency’s designated email address. If you require a ticket to be reissued, an administration fee of £25 will apply.
Aviation insurance and security charge We have included in our prices a charge representing the extra aircraft insurance and security costs, which have been imposed on airlines and tour operators. You should be aware that this charge may change between the date of publication and the time of travel. Since these costs are beyond our control, we reserve the right to increase the amount of this charge at any time. We will of course inform you of any such change should that become necessary. Fuel We have included in our prices an estimate of fuel costs based on our forward view of oil prices at the date of publication. In view of the current volatility of world oil prices, a fuel supplement may be added to the price of your holiday at the time of booking.

Financial Protection
It is a condition of your contract with us that you have insurance cover for the duration of your trip, and that it is adequate for your needs and the type of activities you will be undertaking as part of your holiday. We do not check insurance policies; however we reserve the right to request written details (insurer’s name, policy number and emergency contact number) of your policy. You are responsible for indemnifying us in full in the event that we incur any losses or expenses arising out of your failure to take out adequate insurance cover.
Excursions
Excursions include sightseeing trips, diving packages, golfing, events and other tours in resort for which additional payment is required. These can either be pre-booked and paid for when you book your holiday, or booked and paid for in resort. We are acting in the capacity of an agent for the supplier in the sale of excursion tours and tickets. When making an excursion booking, you accept that you are entering into a contract directly between the excursion provider and yourself. The excursion providers’ terms and conditions will apply. If you decide to cancel your booking, then you may be liable for the full cost of the excursion booked; this will be up to your excursion provider. We do not have any responsibility or liability for anything which may go wrong on an excursion. It is your responsibility to note carefully any conditions of contract contained in any excursion literature, ticket or receipt you are given. You may be subject to the laws of the country in which you take your excursion and may be required to bring any disputes or claims before the Courts of that country. Excursions do not form part of your Package and are not governed by the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tours Regulations 1992.
Tickets
Changes you make before travel
For advice on amending a booking, please contact us in writing. We allow changes to be made to bookings already made, providing that these change requests are made to us at least 21 days before departure. Change requests must be sent to us at Red Sea Holidays, 2nd Floor, 4 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2DJ or by email to customersupport@redseaholidays. co.uk The Lead Name must sign the letter. With the exception of name changes, you may not make changes to your booking within 28 days of departure. You may however cancel your booking within this period subject to the payment of cancellation charges as outlined within our cancellation policy. At all other times, you may make changes to your holiday subject to the payment of the appropriate amendment fee(s). The amendment fee(s) may vary based upon the type of amendment being requested and the number of days prior to travel at which we receive your change request.

Amendment fees shown are per person, per change. Your amendment will not be confirmed until you are in receipt of the revised notice. Where you make a change to your booking that is subject to the payment of an amendment or administration charge, then this charge must be paid in full at the time the amendment is first made. Amendment, administration and credit card surcharges will not usually be refunded should you subsequently cancel your booking. Where you request a change to any additional third party products or services booked to complement your holiday, they will incur an amendment charge equal to any unrecoverable financial commitment made to the product or service provider by Red Sea Holidays on your behalf. The third party will usually have their own terms and conditions related to the product or service provided to which you should also refer. The date of travel can only be amended once per booking and the revised departure date must be within 6 months of the original departure date. Any subsequent changes to the date of travel or requests to depart more then 6 months from the original departure date will be treated as a cancellation: cancellation charges will apply and a new booking must be made. Where you make multiple changes to any combination of either your travel date, your holiday duration, the property at which you will be staying or your flight arrangements within a single transaction, Red Sea Holidays will usually only charge a single set of amendment fees per person and not a cumulative charge per change. Charges for all other amendments, for example to change passenger details, will usually be charged cumulatively per change. If people drop out of your party, we will recalculate the cost of the holiday for the remaining travellers. If fewer adults share the accommodation, you may have to pay the extra room charges shown in this brochure. We cannot guarantee a twin room for the remaining customer from a party of two. One person who occupies a twin room will probably have to pay a significant extra charge. Prices for revised bookings are calculated based on the following: Type of holiday
Revised price calculation
Brochure priced holidays (i.e. price does not include late adjustment discount)
Pay any applicable amendment fees, plus: a) The full brochure price applicable on the day you request the amendment, including supplements and any brochured discounts that apply at that time. Excludes late adjustment discounts. OR b) The late deal selling price for the same holiday on the day amendment is requested if this is higher than a).
Late deals (i.e. price includes late adjustment discount)
Pay any applicable amendment fees, plus: a) The holiday selling price applicable at the time of your original booking, including supplements and the late adjustment discount that applied at that time. OR b) The late deal selling price for the same holiday on the day amendment is requested if this is higher than a).
If you want to make changes while you are away on holiday, for example to upgrade your accommodation, we will try to help. These changes are subject to availability and must be paid for locally. You should notify us of any changes as soon as you are aware of them.
Flight-only bookings are non-refundable in the event of cancellation. If your holiday package includes a flight based on a non-refundable restricted fare, the cancellation charge may be higher, in some cases up to the full amount of the booking. We will provide details of this after we receive your cancellation instruction. No refunds are offered for taxes and charges associated with cancelled or unused flights.
If we change or cancel your holiday
Definitions ‘Major Change’ includes (but is not limited to) the following: a change of accommodation to one with an officially lower rating; a change of more than 12 hours to your scheduled time of departure or return; a significant increase in the price of your holiday. Any change in the airline or the type of aircraft from that stated in the brochure/website or on your ticket does not count as a Major Change. ‘Unavoidable Event’ means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control or the control of our suppliers, resulting in events that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable care had been taken. Such circumstances include (but are not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire and adverse weather conditions (including heavy/ insufficient snowfalls or non-freezing conditions). Minor Change We hope that we will not have to make any change to your holiday but, because our holidays are planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to make changes. Most changes are minor and we will always tell you as soon as possible before your departure. In such circumstances, we will have no liability to you. Major Change Occasionally we may need to make a Major Change (see Definitions above). We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you or your travel agent know about any important changes when you book. If you have already booked, we will let you know as soon as we can, if there is time before your departure. If we do, you must tell us as soon as possible so that you can decide if you wish to accept the change or cancel the holiday with a full refund. Cancellation If we cancel your holiday before it starts, and it is not your fault, or if you cancel because you decline a Major Change as above, you have the following options: accept our offer of a replacement holiday of lower quality (if available), and we will refund the difference in cost; or accept our offer of a replacement holiday of equivalent or higher quality (if available); or ask for a refund of the money you have paid. If you accept a Major Change, or if we Cancel your holiday, we will, as a minimum, compensate you according to the scale below, in addition to any refund. We will not pay compensation when the change or cancellation is due to an Unavoidable Event or because the number of persons who have booked is less than that required for the package.If you have paid reduced rates for children, we will pay credit or compensation on a pro rata basis of the adult rate. Children travelling on free child places, and infants, are not entitled to compensation. Notice of cancellation

In the event that you are unable to board your flight due to a problem within our control (you are ‘denied boarding’) we will provide welfare as appropriate for the period of any delay. If any similar alternative flight offered is not acceptable, you have a right to reimbursement of the cost of any flight (you should note that this is not a right to reimbursement of the full holiday cost unless the above paragraph in relation to cancellation applies). You will also be entitled to compensation, according to the length of your flight on scales laid down by the European Commission, details of which are available on request.
Minimum numbers
Airline policies Most airlines treat name changes as cancellations and impose extra charges, which you will have to pay. If you make changes after an airline ticket has been issued, you may have to pay for the cancelled ticket and buy a new ticket at full cost.
A minimum number of people need to book to enable the advertised holiday to take place. If this number is not achieved and we have to cancel your holiday we will tell you immediately, at least 6 weeks before departure. We will refund the full cost of your holiday and the insurance premium, unless you obtained cover with another company. Where we cancel for this reason you are entitled to the options detailed in the paragraph ‘If we change or cancel your holiday’, but you are not entitled to compensation in these circumstances.
If you cancel your booking
Termination and compensation
To cancel the entire holiday, the Lead Name must write to our Administration Department by recorded delivery at the address on your booking confirmation. Cancellation takes effect on the date we receive your letter. If you cancel after we confirm your booking, you must compensate us for losses, as we incur costs from the moment you make the booking. Insurance premiums and any amendment fees already paid to us will not be refunded. The following cancellation fees apply to holiday packages: Time before departure when cancellation instruction is received by us

You and your party must behave reasonably while on holiday. We reserve the right, at our reasonable discretion, to terminate the holidays of people who indulge in serious misconduct. If we do so, we will have no further responsibility or liability to you. If you or any member of your party wilfully, recklessly or negligently damages any accommodation, property or person, or causes delay to or diversion of any flight or other means of transport, you agree to compensate us for any loss we may suffer, including legal costs. Guests who participate in organised sports and watersports activities in all hotels do so at their own risk. They must follow the supervisors’ instructions.
Passport, visa and immigration requirements
Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.
Our liability to you
We will accept responsibility for your holiday as an ‘organiser’ under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 as set out below. Subject to the other provisions of this Clause, we accept responsibility for ensuring that your travel arrangements, which you book with us, are supplied as described by us. If, after departure, any part of your travel arrangements are not provided as promised, due to the fault of our

BOOKING CONDITIONS employees, agents or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation, if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However, our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of twice the value of the element not supplied excluding flights. The level of such compensation will take into account all relevant factors including the invoice price of the holiday, any steps it was reasonable for the client to take to minimise the inconvenience/damage suffered and the extent to which the deficiency or improper performance can have affected the client’s enjoyment of the package. Please note that we will not be liable for any injury, illness, or death or consequent losses suffered by you or any member of your party, unless you are able to prove that such injury or illness was caused by lack of reasonable care and skill on the part of ourselves or our suppliers in the performance of our obligations under our contract with you. It is a condition of the payment of compensation that you notify us of any complaint or claim strictly in accordance our complaints procedure and, further, assign to us any rights that you may have against any third party in connection with your claim. You must co-operate with us and our insurers in this regard. If you suffer a personal injury, death or serious difficulties as the result of an activity which does not form part of the package you booked with us – including for example any additional services or facilities provided to you by a hotel or any other supplier which was not included as part of the original contract between us – we will not be liable to pay you any compensation but will offer you such advice and guidance as is reasonable in all the circumstances provided we are advised of the incident within 90 days of the occurrence. We will not be responsible where you do not enjoy the holiday or suffer any other problems because of a reason which you did not make us aware of when the holiday was booked. In all claims of whatever nature we will not be liable where the alleged loss or damage results from any of the following: a) the fault of the person affected or any members of their party; or b) the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday which we could not have predicted or avoided; or c) an event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the service in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care; or d) the fault of anyone who was not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time. Important notice in respect of limits on liability. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract; and b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices: Red Sea Holidays, 2nd Floor, 4 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2DJ. The promises we give to you regarding the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of the contract, and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred, shall be used as the basis for ascertaining whether or not the services in question have been properly provided. If the services in question which caused the claim or complaint complied with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at that time, the services shall be treated as having been properly provided. Such shall be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have applied if those services had been provided in the UK. Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money), the maximum amount we will have to pay you and your party is £25 per person in total. We strongly recommend that you and your party take out adequate travel insurance for your particular needs whilst on holiday and for the purpose of these Booking Conditions you and your party are assumed to have done so. Additional help If you or one of your party suffers personal injury, illness or death during the holiday through no fault of your own, we may, at our discretion, give you general and/or financial assistance. We may do this even though the damage may not be the result of one of our holiday services. We will only give you this assistance if you request it within 90 days of the event happening. The financial assistance is limited to £5,000 per booking. If your claim is successful or if you are insured for these costs, you must repay any financial assistance we give you as soon as you recover it. Limitations on our liability Our liability to you for any loss or damage which you may suffer is limited to two times the price of your holiday. This excludes personal injury resulting from the non-performance or improper performance of the services involved in the holiday, and is subject to the limitation of liability described below. In respect of travel by air, sea and rail, and the provision of accommodation our liability will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant International Convention. You can ask for copies of these international conventions from us. Health and safety standards applicable to the services provided by us under this contract should meet the local standards applicable to your holiday destination. However you should be aware that these vary widely across the programme and may well not match those standards we enjoy in the UK. Any compensation payable by us shall be limited in accordance with the lowest limit allowed under applicable International Conventions governing the services, or the amount you can recover from them under the laws of the UK or the country in which they operate.

Flights and flight times
The flights shown in our brochure and website are operated by UK, European and international charter airlines. We may change airlines or aircraft types at any time; this does not count as a Major Change. Some flights may need to stop en route. If we know about
88
this in advance we will tell you. Flight times shown in our brochure and website and on your booking confirmation are not guaranteed. Actual flight times are shown on your tickets. A night flight means one that departs the UK between 22.00 hours and 05.59 hours, or arrives in the UK between 00.00 hours and 05.59 hours. You are reminded that Captains of aircraft have absolute authority over the aircraft and its passengers while boarding or in flight. The Captain or other authorised representative of the airline can refuse to carry anyone if they are unruly, unfit to travel, or a danger to the flight or other passengers. If you or any member of your party is refused carriage in these circumstances, the contract between us will terminate immediately and we will have no further responsibility for, nor liability to, you or any member of your party.
Brochure and website accuracy
We publish our brochure and website information many months in advance. As far as we know, all the information is correct at the time of publication. However, circumstances can change after publication, so our team of experts check regularly to see if we need to update the descriptions, information and prices shown. We will tell you of any changes that we know about when you book your holiday. If you have already booked, we will tell you of any significant change in circumstances that would affect your holiday as soon as we can before you leave.

If you do not give us the opportunity to resolve any problem locally by reporting it to the supplier, our representative or by calling/faxing/emailing us, our ability to investigate the issue could be seriously hampered, and we may not be able to deal with your complaint on your return (unless there is a valid reason why you did not inform us). You can, of course, pursue your claim elsewhere. Disputes about your holiday that we cannot settle can be referred to arbitration under a special scheme administered by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides a simple and cheap method of arbitration based on documents alone. It does not apply to claims over £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking form. A limit of £1,000 per person applies to any part of a claim for personal injury or illness. You must apply for arbitration within nine months of your return from holiday, but in special circumstances it may be offered outside this period. Information regarding complaints may be shared with other tour operators.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION
Holiday Information YOUR HOLIDAY PRICE Pricing your holiday The price panels in the brochure show our basic lead-in prices per person plus the supplements for some common upgrades and options. The price includes taxes, Air Passenger Duty, aircraft insurance, security, fuel and other associated costs. These prices are influenced by many factors including currency exchange rates, economic conditions and suppliers’ costs, so we review prices regularly. Very rarely, and only when we cannot avoid it, we may have to alter prices or introduce surcharges. Much more commonly, however, our prices will go down. For this reason we always recommend you visit our website, give us a call or ask your travel agent to confirm our latest prices. To help you compare the prices in our brochure, please note the following: Lead-in prices shown are per person based on two adults sharing (unless otherwise specified). Prices are correct at time of going to print, but are subject to change and may go up or down. Flight supplements may apply; see Flight Information for details. Child prices are subject to sharing accommodation with a minimum of two full fare paying passengers per booking. They are either “guaranteed” or “from”. Where they are “guaranteed”, the child price specified applies. Where they are “from”, prices vary by date and by number of children on the booking. Room upgrade and board basis supplements shown are per person, per night (unless otherwise specified).
Room supplements Unless otherwise specified, the prices in this brochure are based on 2 adults sharing a standard room, and the specified board basis. Other room types and board basis options may be available at a supplement, which is shown in the price panel. For a detailed quotation, including these supplements, visit our website, give us a call, or ask your travel agent. Children and infants do not count towards occupancy levels, so it may be more economical for a single adult travelling with children to book the first child at the full adult rate. A “Single Parent Saving” of £75 will apply in this circumstance. Where single rooms are available, a Single Room Supplement is shown, stated as per person, per night.
What your price includes Brochure price holidays will include the following as standard: Accommodation Prices as shown in the price panel, plus any room type or board upgrade requested, and any under-occupancy supplements that apply. Meals As detailed in the hotel description. Flights Return flights from your chosen UK airport to the specified destination. Flight supplements may apply; these vary by route and date. See Flight Information for details. Luggage allowance A minimum of 20 kg per person (excluding infants). Resort transfers Return coach or mini bus transfer between the airport and your hotel. Representative service You will have full representative service from the dedicated Red Sea Holidays resort team. In addition, the price includes: Taxes known at time the brochure was published. Air Passenger Duty (APD). Aviation fuel costs at time of booking. Charges for security, aircraft insurance, and associated costs. ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) – the price of your holiday includes £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution we pay to the Civil Aviation Authority. This provides financial protection in the unlikely event of our business failure.See “Prices” in the Booking Conditions for further detail.
What your price does not include
Child pricing
Travel Insurance It is a condition of travel with us that you have adequate travel insurance. This should provide cover for emergency medical treatment and repatriation to the UK. You will be liable for any costs that we incur as a consequence of you not having travel insurance. See Booking Conditions. Surcharges See “Prices” in Booking Conditions. Credit card charges A fee of 2.5% applies to bookings made by credit card This is to help cover some of the high fees that the credit card companies charge us. There is no fee for payments by debit card. Locally collected taxes and visas See Passport and Visa Information. Optional excursions Unless pre-booked with Red Sea Holidays. Excess baggage charges Charges will apply if you exceed your aircraft baggage allowance. There may also be additional charges for sports equipment. In-flight meals Airlines provide an in-flight snacks and beverage menu, which is payable on board. Local charges Your hotel may charge extra for some optional items; see “Local Charges” below.
Infants Children aged less than 2 years on the date of their return flight travel free. Infants do not receive a separate flight seat or baggage allowance (see Flight Information “Infants” section). The hotel may charge extra for cots, etc. Children Children qualify for discounted prices at most hotels, subject to sharing a room with 2 adult fare paying passengers. Children must be aged 2-11 years (2-12 years at selected accommodation) on the date of their return flight. The child age limits are specified in the hotel/ship description. Child price conditions You must book the holiday based on the child’s age on the date of the return flight. For example, if you book a child fare for a 12 year old who would turn 13 before the return flight, the child price no longer applies and you will have to pay the full adult fare plus any admin charges before departure. Child prices apply subject to sharing a room with minimum of 2 full fare paying passengers per booking. For instance, for 2 adults and 1 child, the child qualifies for a child price. For 1 adult and 2 children, the first child would be charged the adult price, and the second child would pay the child price. Children must pay the full adult deposit. No deposit is charged for infants. Children must pay any flight supplements and room upgrade supplements that apply.
Local charges There may be additional charges for some optional services and facilities at your hotel. We have indicated in the hotel descriptions where these apply, but examples include: Hotel-run kids’ clubs, baby-sitting, meals for infants, highchairs and cots. Premium brand drinks, speciality teas and coffees and freshly squeezed fruit juices. Selected à la carte menu items or use of certain restaurants and bars at All Inclusive hotels. Use of restaurants and bars at All Inclusive hotels, outside specified serving times (eg late night bar service) Safety deposit facilities, room service, mini-bar, premium TV channels, telephone calls and internet access. Facilities such as sun loungers, indoor pools, spa and massage facilities, sauna, table tennis, billiards and other sporting equipment.
Late deals Where a late adjustment discount is applied to a holiday, the holiday package may include a reduced luggage allowance, and resort transfers and late check out rooms may be at extra charge. This will be clearly indicated at the time of booking.
Red Sea Savers Your accommodation will be allocated when you arrive in resort based on the star rating and board basis you have booked. Our representative will meet you at the airport and confirm which hotel you will be staying in. Your hotel is guaranteed to meet or exceed the advertised rating you have booked, and your all inclusive package will include the following as a minimum: Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner Afternoon tea, coffee and snacks Unlimited soft and local alcoholic drinks (served by the glass, and available typically 10:00-midnight) Full rep service The package may include a reduced luggage allowance and resort transfers may be at extra charge. This will be clearly indicated at the time of booking. Note: our UK team do not receive advance notice of which hotel will be chosen, so we cannot advise you prior to departure.
Air Passenger Duty APD is a UK Government duty payable on outbound flights from the UK. APD applies to passengers aged 12 years or over on the date of departure. Children aged 11 or younger pay no APD. Red Sea Holidays already includes APD in the price of your holiday. Many of our hotels offer child prices for 12 year olds. To keep things simple, at those hotels we’ll pay the APD for your 12 year old, so that they get the same child price shown in the brochure.

Deposit When booking a holiday package more than 10 weeks in advance, a deposit is payable. The deposit is £75 per person, including any children or free group places. The balance of the holiday is then due for payment 10 weeks from the date of departure.

Where this applies, we will advise you of the increased deposit cost before confirming your booking. When you make a flight-only booking, full payment is required at the time of booking.
Single parent saver Discounted child prices are based on sharing with 2 adult fare-paying guests. When a single adult shares a room with a child, the child would be due to pay the adult fare.

Nile cruises / multi-centre holidays Access Access to Nile cruise ships is by gangplank, with some uneven areas, and it occasionally requires crossing another boat to reach the river bank. Ask your representative for assistance if needed. The ships are also on several levels. For these reasons, Nile cruises are not recommended for people with walking difficulties. Sightseeing When sightseeing take plenty of bottled water and wear sensible footwear as the ground can be uneven. Flash photography is often prohibited to protect the monuments. There may be charges for photography or use of video cameras. Itineraries The itinerary involves some early starts and long days to make sure all the sights are fitted in. Changes to the scheduled itinerary and excursions may occasionally be necessary due to local conditions such as water levels, cruise boat traffic, site closures and road conditions. Other guests Nile cruise ships and coaches used on multi-centre holidays are shared with guests from other countries.
Cruise and Stay We offer several Cruise & Stay packages each of which combines a Nile cruise with hotel accommodation in Cairo, Hurghada, Makadi Bay or El Gouna. These include 7 nights aboard ship, plus hotel accommodation and all transfers.

See itinerary for details.

Reputable dive centres will be happy to show you details of their certification. Our partner diving centres are all certified by PADI (www.padi.com). You will require a medical certificate to dive. This can be obtained locally at a charge. Diving courses are offered subject to weather conditions, and to a minimum number of participants, so may be subject to cancellation. Our diving packages include transfers from your hotel to the diving centre, and equipment as specified. Package prices do not include lunch, local taxes and national park fees, which are payable locally. Text books will be required for any PADI course. These can be purchased locally.

TRAVEL ADVICE Passport and Visa information Passport It is your responsibility to ensure that everyone in your party has a passport with the required validity, and that the names on the booking match those on the passports. If you do not do this you may become liable for amendment or cancellation fees, or be refused permission to travel. For travel to Egypt a full 10 year passport is required for all British, EU and EEA members, with at least six months validity beyond the return date of your holiday. The name on your passport must match the name on your ticket or you may not be able to travel. All children need to hold their own passport if they are to travel abroad. If you do not yet have a passport, you should apply for one at least six weeks prior to your departure date. The Passport Service will need to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and they may also require you to attend an interview. General passport enquiries should be directed to the Identity and Passport Service. Please visit their website: www.ips. gov.uk or telephone 0870 521 0410. Advance passenger information The UK Government e-Borders scheme requires airlines to provide passenger information, including passport details, for border control purposes. This Advance Passenger Information (API) is collected by the airline when you check-in. We do not require you to provide this information in advance. Visas – Egypt Hurghada, Luxor & Marsa Alam: a visa is required for all British, EU and EEA citizens. This costs around £20, can be obtained on arrival, and can be paid for in Pounds, Euros or US Dollars. Visa stamps can be purchased from our airport representative to avoid queuing, subject to availability. Sharm el Sheikh & Dahab: purchase of a visa is optional for all British, EU and EEA citizens. No visa is required to stay within the resort area itself or to take a boat trip from the resort. A visa is required if you go diving or to visit any other area of Egypt such as Cairo or Luxor. The visa costs around £20 and can only be purchased at the airport, either on arrival or later on. For up-to-date visa costs and requirements, please contact the Egyptian Embassy on 020 7235 9777. Visas are also required for excursions to Israel or Jordan; please ask your rep for details. Currency – Egypt The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP) often written as LE. There are roughly 10 EGP to 1 Pound Sterling. Currency – General Currency can be exchanged in in local banks or bureaux de change (many hotels have these). Pounds Sterling, Euros and US Dollars are widely accepted, though change may be given in local currency. Major credit cards are widely accepted. ATMs are available in all major resort centres, and in some hotels. Your bank or credit card company may charge transaction fees for card payments overseas, and also fees/interest on cash withdrawals; please check before you travel. Travellers cheques are not widely accepted. They can usually only be cashed in main bank branches, which may be some distance from your hotel.
Travel Insurance It is a requirement of our booking conditions that you have adequate travel insurance cover for the duration of your holiday. Hopefully you will never need to claim on your insurance but just in case the worst happens it is important to make sure that you, your family and your belongings are properly covered. If you don’t already have travel insurance, we can offer great value insurance cover tailored to your holiday. Give us a call for a quotation.
Health precautions Inoculations Egypt: no compulsory inoculations required. A pre-travel Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended. Advice can change, so please take health advice about your specific needs as early as possible.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION Sun You will find that the sun is much more intense than at home, and severe sunburn is possible within a very short time. Take plenty of sun tan lotion with you, apply it regularly, and limit your sunbathing at first. Remember to reapply sun tan lotion after swimming. Watch out for redness and sunburn and don’t be afraid to cover up with a hat or T-shirt. With hot sun and a seaside breeze, it is extremely easy to get dehydrated without noticing. Watch out for signs of heat exhaustion or sunstroke (drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and nausea) and drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. Remember, you can get sunburned or dehydrated even in the shade! Hygiene Washing your hands regularly, especially before eating and drinking, is one of the best ways to avoid picking up bugs. Drinking water Local tap water is not safe for drinking. You should only drink bottled water, which is inexpensive and widely available. Avoid ice in drinks, and ideally, use bottled water when brushing your teeth. Note that locally produced bottled water can have a higher mineral content than that at home. Insect bites Biting insects (including mosquitoes) are common. Insect repellents can be useful in helping to prevent bites; the most effective are those containing DEET. You can also reduce the risk by wearing clothes that cover your skin, including your arms and legs, especially during the evening and at night. Travel advice The Foreign and Commonwealth Travel Advice Unit issues frequent updates for those travelling outside the UK. You can check the latest travel advice at www.fco.gov.uk
Travellers with disabilities Many hotels offer a degree of accessibility for holidaymakers with restricted mobility, such as ground floor rooms, lifts, level public areas, and beachside promenades, but few are equipped with specific disability-friendly features such as wheelchair ramps and accessible bathrooms. In addition the terrain and layout of resorts can be difficult for wheelchair users. It is important that you advise us of your particular needs so that enquiries can be made about the suitability of resorts, accommodation, and transport before you book your holiday. Some special arrangements may require an extra charge. If you do not tell us in advance about special needs or requirements that would affect your holiday experience, we cannot compensate you should we fail to deliver them. If you require assistance at the airport or on your flight, let us know and we will pass on your requirements to the airline. Large print versions of our Booking Conditions and Holiday Information are available on request. For support or advice prior to booking, please contact our Customer Service team or ask your travel agent.
Weather and natural disasters North Africa has a relatively stable climate, with year-round sun. As a desert climate it can get cold inland at night. It does not rain very often, but when it does it can be very heavy and can cause flash floods, which may disrupt transport. We recommend checking the latest FCO Travel Advice at www.fco.gov.uk/travel. When a storm or natural disaster occurs, travel and accommodation arrangements may be disrupted. It is extremely difficult to predict the actual path, duration or effect severe weather and seismic activity may have and the effects of actual or threatened bad weather and natural disasters are beyond our control. If it is forecast that a storm or natural may affect one of our destinations, we work with local and international authorities, our Health and Safety and resort teams and local agents to try to minimise disruption and keep you well informed. In the event of changes to your holiday due to actual or threatened bad weather, we are unable to offer any compensation. Please refer to our Booking Conditions, for details of our responsibility to you in these circumstances.
YOUR ACCOMMODATION Hotel ratings Ratings help to give an overall indication of hotel quality. Official star ratings standards vary greatly between countries, and sometimes even between resorts. For this reason, the main rating shown for each hotel in this brochure is a Red Sea Holidays Sun rating. We review
all our hotels based on customer feedback and our own inspections, and award a Sun rating consistent with the standards expected by our UK customers. We also display the official star rating for each hotel for your reference.
Check-in times
In most hotels your room will be available from 3pm on the day of your arrival. Should the room not be available immediately upon your arrival, for instance if you arrive earlier in the day, the hotel will make arrangements to safely store your luggage until the room becomes available.
Room types The rooms in our hotels are grouped into room types offering a particular size and range of features. The specific rooms are described on the hotel page, but a summary of the main room types and what to expect is shown below. Please note: Hotels do not use standard definitions for room type. We have named our room types to give consistency across our range of holidays, but the hotel may use a slightly different name for the specified room. We do not offer all room types at all hotels. Standard Room Room will contain a double bed (this may be two single beds made with double bedding) or two single beds (twin beds) where specified. Superior Room These vary by hotel. Typically they will have similar facilities to a Standard Room, but may be larger or have added features, such as balcony or a sea view. Single Room A single room assumes one person in the room, and may contain a single bed, twin beds or a double bed, depending on the hotel. Family Suites Family suites vary by hotel, but typically include a separate master bedroom and an open plan living room with sofa beds and/or twin beds. Suite/Junior Suite A suite will usually have a separate bedroom and lounge/ living area. A junior suite will be an open-plan bedroom with a comfortable seating area. Layout varies by hotel. Rooms sleeping 3 or more Some hotels offer rooms that sleep 2 adults and up to 2 children, in a combination of double/twin plus sofa beds, rollaway beds or camp beds. These rooms may not be any larger than a standard-sized room so space is likely to be more limited. If you require any additional information on room layout, please call us or ask your travel agent. Sea / Pool View In some rooms that have a pool or sea view, the view may be partially obscured by plants or trees. Rooms with a partial pool or sea view may be positioned at an angle to the view. Inter-connecting Rooms Where indicated, hotels can offer adjacent rooms with a connecting door, ideal for families and groups. These are subject to availability and a small supplement will apply.
Single supplements If a single person occupies a double room, they will be asked to pay a “single supplement”. Hotels price their rooms as doubles and they do not reduce their price if they are occupied by a single person, as their costs for the room do not change. Where specific single rooms are offered, these may be smaller and with slightly different facilities to a double room. The supplement for a single room is usually less than for a single person occupying a double room.
Dining Board basis & restaurant choice The board basis, restaurant choice and meal service is described in each hotel description. Where there is more than one restaurant, meals included in the board basis will generally be taken in the main restaurant, and will usually be buffet style. Breakfast will be a continental style buffet unless otherwise specified, though a range of cooked and cooked-to-order items is often available. À la carte restaurants Reservations are required for à la carte restaurants, and meals will usually be chargeable, though some dishes may be available within your board basis. Dress code As a courtesy to fellow guests, hotels require guests to wear a shirt/T-shirt, trousers and shoes/sandals in their restaurants. Swimwear is not permitted. The dress code for evening meals is usually smarter than during the day. We advise you to confirm the details with the hotel when you check in.

Air conditioning Air conditioning is provided in almost all of our hotels. This will usually be operated via a thermostat in your room to enable you to increase/decrease the amount of cooling in summer or heating in winter. Some hotels operate airconditioning seasonally, not year-round.
Other guests We do not have exclusive use of the hotels in this brochure. Most hotels will have guests from other countries and of mixed age. Many hotels operate conference and event facilities so there may be business meetings or events such as wedding receptions taking place during your stay.
TV channels Many hotels feature satellite TV in your room. Some have additional pay per view channels and there may be channels with adult content. We advise that you take the same care and supervision of children’s TV viewing as you would at home. We cannot guarantee the availability of English language channels.
All Inclusive holidays All Inclusive holidays are a great way to relax and get the most out of your holiday without having to worry about extra costs. Here are some tips so you know what to expect, and to make sure you get the most from the experience: Identification Many hotels will issue you with an ID card, bracelet or necklace. This must be shown when ordering drinks meals and other services. Don’t lose it as there may be a charge to replace it. Meal times Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the availability of snacks, ice cream and afternoon tea/coffee are subject to specific serving times which will be advised by your hotel. À la carte restaurants Where à la carte restaurants are included in your package, these will be subject to reservation, either the day or morning before. The restaurant menu may include a mix of All Inclusive items and premium items at extra charge (for example steak or lobster). Drinks Locally produced alcoholic and soft drinks are included in the All Inclusive service. Imported drinks, premium brands, speciality teas and coffees, fresh fruit juices, and in some hotels, bottled mineral water, are usually charged extra. Drinks are usually served by the glass; you can expect to pay extra if ordering by the bottle. Alcoholic drinks The All Inclusive drinks service is available subject to specified serving hours. These will be advised by your hotel, but are typically from 10am to midnight. Freely available alcoholic drinks throughout the day can be a temptation to over-indulge; please have consideration for your safety, and other guests, and remember that the hotel management can refuse to serve someone they believe to be intoxicated or under age. Behaviour We and the hotels reserve the right to withdraw All Inclusive services from any guest whose behaviour, or whose children’s behaviour is upsetting the enjoyment of other guests. Continued anti-social behaviour may lead to us and the hotelier terminating your contract and asking you to leave the hotel. What’s not included Additional services and facilities not specified in the All Inclusive features may incur a charge. Not all bars and restaurants in each hotel are available free of charge. Some restaurants offer an All Inclusive menu plus additional menu items at an extra charge. Bars and restaurants may charge after a certain time (eg. after midnight).
Entertainment and sports facilities Some entertainments and sports may incur a charge if not included in an All Inclusive package. Outdoor sports and facilities, for instance watersports and outdoor catering, are offered subject to weather conditions. All sports and leisure facilities are subject to availability, and there may be a system restricting use of some facilities to ensure that all have an opportunity to enjoy them. You may be required to pay a refundable deposit. Age and height restrictions apply to some activities, and some are not open to younger or unsupervised children. Activities such as watersports are considered hazardous activities by some insurance companies. You should ensure that any activities you wish to participate in are covered by your insurance policy.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION Swimming pools Swimming pools vary in size and shape. They can also be fresh or salt water. Every pool is different so we recommend you familiarise yourself with the layout, how to get in and out, and the location of shallow and deep ends before jumping in. Unless otherwise specified, swimming pools are not heated in winter. Swimming pools that are advertised as heated in winter are heated at the discretion of the hotel management, based on their individual hotel policies, swimming pool characteristics and the prevailing weather conditions. For example if the weather turns cool unexpectedly it can take up to 3 days for a swimming pool to be heated fully. We also ask you to use the pool’s shower facility to help keep the pool clean and healthy. For your safety, don’t swim after you have been drinking alcohol, and do not swim after dark or when the pool is closed. Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult.
Water slides and features Age and height restrictions may apply to slides, flumes and other water features, and some may not be suitable for weak swimmers or those with certain medical conditions, so please check carefully before using. Children must be supervised by an adult.
Safety in your hotel Familiarise yourself with the fire procedures in your hotel (including location of emergency exits) and the locations of the swimming pool and any steps within the hotel grounds. Children should be supervised at all times, especially near water and on balconies.
Hygiene in your hotel Hygiene and food safety are of prime importance to us and the hotels we work with. We liaise closely with the hotels to ensure that the highest standards are maintained. The standards of food hygiene and water cleanliness at all Red Sea Hotels and Grand Cruises accommodation are monitored and checked by the company Check Safety First (www.checksafetyfirst.com).
Upset stomach It is not uncommon to suffer a stomach upset when on holiday abroad. Prevention is better than cure, so always wash your hands before eating and drinking, avoid undercooked foods, ice in drinks and spending too much time in the sun, and drink lots of bottled water. If you do get an upset, the hotel can usually arrange a consultation with a doctor. You may wish to ask your pharmacist for advice on remedies to take with you to resort.
Smoking Most of the hotels and ships we feature have a no smoking policy in hotel rooms and public areas. Please ask at the time of booking if this is important to you.
an emergency. Their details are also displayed on an information noticeboard in your hotel. If you have a complaint about any aspect of your holiday, please let your representative know. They will do everything they can to liaise with the resort team and our headquarters Duty Office to solve the problem as quickly as possible and minimize any inconvenience.
Building work Some areas of the resorts we feature are still expanding and being developed, so there may be building or construction work taking place in the vicinity of your accommodation. There may also be some general refurbishment taking place in your hotel. We have no control over such work, but it is important to us that you are aware of any significant building or refurbishment that may be going on during your stay. When we are informed of any such work we will tell you at the time of booking or, if you have already booked, we will contact you before departure. Please refer to the Booking Conditions.
Restaurants, Bars and Nightclubs Most resorts have a wide range of restaurants, bars and nightclubs in addition to those in the hotels themselves. We have included some examples of these in our resort guides. These are for information only and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by us. These establishments do not form part of your holiday package, and we cannot accept liability for the quality of service offered, or any issues arising from them.
Religious sites When visiting religious sites such as mosques, monasteries and churches, you will be expected to cover up, wear long trousers or skirts, and in some cases a headscarf. You may also be required to remove your shoes. If you have any doubts, simply ask your representative what is appropriate
Ramadan Ramadan is a period of Islamic religious fasting that lasts for around 30 days. During Ramadan, some cafes and restaurants will close between sunrise and sunset, and there may be restrictions on the serving of alcohol. Service in our hotels should not be affected. Ramadan dates: 06 June-05 July 2016.
Taxis & limousine service Local taxis are widely available in the resort areas. Always agree the fare with the driver before you get in the taxi, and do not pay until you reach your intended destination. In Egypt, only authorised vehicles are allowed into hotel grounds, so you can only hail local taxis outside the hotel, and they must drop you at the hotel gates. Most hotels operate a limousine service. This is a private taxi service licensed to access the hotel grounds and may be more expensive than using local taxis.
Tipping
YOUR RESORT Safety in your resort Our resorts are safe for tourists, but crime is a fact of life in every country, so please take the same care for your safety, and that of your belongings, as you would at home. Take particular care in busy towns and at temples and sites of interest. Please see your representative for tips and advice on local customs, bartering and staying safe in resort. Avoid approaching or feeding cats, dogs, birds and other animals as they may scratch or bite, and can transmit diseases.
Beaches and the sea Beaches may have rocky areas and rough coral sand. They also get very hot in the sun. We recommend wearing beach shoes. Beach shoes are also recommended when in the water as it can be difficult to see areas of sharp coral. Some beaches are man-made and positioned away from the shore to avoid coral reefs. Access to these is via a jetty or pontoon. Beaches may not be supervised by a lifeguard, so take extra care when in the water.
Resort service All our brochure holidays include the service of the Red Sea Holidays resort representative team. Our team of English-speaking representatives will greet you at the airport, accompany you to your hotel, and invite you to an orientation meeting held the following day. Your representative will let you know when they will be at your hotel, and how they can be contacted in

Tipping, generally known as Baksheesh, is standard practice in North Africa, not just for tourists. You will be expected to tip porters, waiters, pool attendants, barmen, boat crew, coach drivers and taxi drivers – anyone who offers you any type of service or assistance. The general rule is to tip little and often. It is advisable to keep plenty of small change/notes for tipping purposes. People will accept £1 and €1 coins. The US $1 dollar bill is popular as it can be easily exchanged in banks.
Travel outside your resort For your safety and security, transfers from one area to another, for instance an excursion outside your resort, may be escorted by a military convoy. Departure times for these transfers are beyond our control and subject to local conditions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Photography Some of the general photography used in this brochure, for example close ups of spa treatment or children playing, were shot on location and not at a particular hotel or resort.
Data protection We have the highest regard for the security of your personal data. In order to provide you with products and services, we must pass selected personal information relating to your booking, including disability or dietary requirements, to trusted partners, suppliers and government agencies. This includes sending data outside the European Economic Area,
where controls on data protection may not be as strong as in the UK. If we cannot pass on your details, we will be unable to process your booking. Your details may also be used for analysis, improving customer service and, very occasionally, for crime prevention. Booking with us means that you consent to us sharing your personal information as described. Telephone calls to Red Sea Holidays may be recorded to help us improve our customer service.We may occasionally contact you by post, telephone or email to update you on Red Sea Holidays’ latest products, services and offers. We do not pass your details to other companies for marketing purposes. If you don’t wish to receive such information, please contact Customer Services.

ATOL – your financial protection When you buy an ATOL protected air package or flight from us you will receive an ATOL certificate from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 9749. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will ensure you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The price of your holiday includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices but will be shown separately on your confirmation invoice. If you book arrangements other than a package holiday from us, the financial protection detailed above does not apply.
FLIGHT INFORMATION Carriage of infants The airlines’ minimum age for infants varies, but is typically between 2 and 6 weeks. Infants aged 0-24 months are carried based on sitting on an adult’s lap. There must be at least one adult for every infant travelling. The infant may be seated in a car seat, subject to booking a flight seat, availability and the airline’s car seat regulations. The price for the flight seat will be based on the adult seat-only price, but discounts may be available. Contact Customer Services or your travel agent for details. Airline regulations require children aged 2 years and over to occupy a seat. Children aged 2 years and over on the return flight must pay the stated child price for the holiday.
Travelling while pregnant Airline rules differ, but most require a medical certificate of fitness to travel for women who are 28 weeks or more pregnant on the date of return travel, and will not normally allow travel at all beyond 32 weeks pregnancy. We recommend that you check with the airline, and also consult your own doctor.
Passengers with disabilities Passengers with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, and the visually impaired should contact Customer Services or your travel agent prior to booking to confirm the availability of any assistance you may require at the airport. If you do not request assistance in advance, we cannot guarantee that the service will be available on the day, as there is limited availability at most airports. Carriage of wheelchairs Wheelchairs must be carried in the aircraft hold and collected in the baggage reclaim area. Your wheelchair will be carried free of charge in addition to your normal

HOLIDAY INFORMATION baggage allowance. Airline liability for loss or damage is limited, so you should ensure that the wheelchair is adequately insured. Electrically powered wheelchairs will be accepted for travel, subject to the general conditions of carriage outlined in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. The regulations relate to the batteries in the wheelchair. The electric wheelchair must be easily stored in an upright position when collapsed. The battery must be disconnected and the terminals insulated to prevent accidental short circuiting. Travelling companions Any passenger who is not “self-reliant” according to the Department for Transport (DFT) code of practice definition, must travel with a carer. The DFT defines someone as not being self-reliant if they cannot take care of all their physical needs in-flight independently. The carer must book their ticket at the same time, and can travel with a maximum of 2 passengers requiring assistance. Visually impaired passengers Egypt is not a listed country in the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS), so charter airlines will not carry guide dogs.
Emergency exit seating Safety regulations require that anyone sitting in an emergency exit row be willing and able to operate the emergency exit. We are unable to allocate exit row seating to children or passengers with disabilities. If you are seated in an exit row and have concerns about this, please speak to a member of the cabin crew.
Fitness to fly If you suffer from certain medical conditions that mean you may require assistance from the airline, you may need permission from your doctor to fly. You should contact the airline directly if you have concerns over your fitness to fly. If you suffer an accident or illness in resort, a fitness to fly certificate will be needed for the return journey; please contact your resort representative.
Flying after diving It is dangerous to fly immediately after diving. You must not fly within 24 hours of diving.
Tickets All tickets are issued by email as an “e-ticket”. You must have a PRINTED copy of your e-ticket in order to travel. If you do not have a printed copy of the e-ticket when you check in both for the flight from the UK AND the return flight to the UK, the airline is entitled to refuse you boarding the flight. We cannot accept responsibility in this situation and while we will endeavour to assist you in making alternate travel arrangements, any costs or loss incurred will be your responsibility. How and when you receive your e-ticket depends on how and when you book your holiday: Bookings made directly with Red Sea Holidays Book directly with Red Sea Holidays and your e-ticket will be emailed to you 21 days prior to departure. For bookings within 21 days of departure, the e-ticket will be emailed within 24 hours of booking.

Check in
Valuables
You must check in for your flight at least 2 hours prior to departure. This is to give you enough time to check in, go through airport security, and reach your departure gate. If you do not check in to your flight on time, the airline is entitled to refuse you boarding the flight. We cannot accept responsibility in this situation, and while we will endeavour to assist you in making alternate travel arrangements, any costs or loss incurred will be your responsibility. If you fail to check in for your outward flight from the UK, we reserve the right to cancel any other elements of your holiday, and you will be unable to use your return flight to the UK. No refund can be given for any unused elements. When you arrive at the check-in desk, please have your tickets and passport ready. You will be asked to check in your baggage. Bulky items may need to be taken to a different baggage drop off area. Once you are checked-in, please proceed to the departure gates via airport security. You must be at your departure gate no later than 45 minutes prior to the departure time, or the airline may not allow you to travel. Passengers who are refused travel will be responsible for arranging alternative travel at their own expense.
We recommend that you pack any valuables such as money, credit cards, jewellery, keys, mobile phones and cameras, in your hand luggage, not your hold luggage. You should also ensure that you have adequate insurance cover against loss or damage.
Security
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where blood clots develop in the veins of the legs. Sitting still for a long time may be an underlying factor in this, so air travel can result in developing DVT. Passengers can reduce the risk of DVT by wearing compression socks, walking around, and doing some simple exercises. Your airline will provide details in their in-flight magazine. Some people may be more at risk than others, so we recommend that you seek advice, for instance from the UK Department of Health (www.dh.gov.uk) or consult your GP.
You should pack your own luggage, and keep your luggage with you at all times. Unattended luggage will be removed and destroyed. Never carry packages or presents for anyone else.
Hand luggage Most airlines allow only one item of hand luggage per person, subject to a maximum weight of 5kg, and no bigger than 45 x 28 x 22cm. You will be asked to show your hand baggage when you check in. If it does not meet these criteria, you will have to check it in. Monarch Airlines flights allow one piece of hand baggage no bigger than 56 x 40 x 25cm and no heavier than 10 kg, plus a small duty free bag from the departure airport OR two separate pieces of hand baggage, as long as the combined size is no bigger than 56 x 40 x 25cm and the combined weight no heavier than 10 kg, plus a small duty free bag from the departure airport. Sharp and dangerous objects Sharp and potentially dangerous objects such as knives, scissors, tweezers and laser pointers may not be carried in hand luggage. They must be packed in your hold luggage. If you pack them in your hand luggage, they will be confiscated. Liquids Limited quantities of liquids, gels and pastes can be carried in hand luggage. Containers must hold no more than 100ml and must be carried in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, which measures approximately 20cm x 20cm. Contents must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be sealed. Essential medicines, inhalers and liquid dietary foodstuffs You are allowed to carry essential medicines of more than 100ml in your hand baggage, but you will need: prior approval from the airline and departure airport supporting documentation from a relevant qualified medical professional (eg. a letter from your doctor) Only take what you need for your journey. Extra supplies and larger containers can go in your hold baggage. Baby food and baby milk You are allowed to take baby food, baby milk and sterilised water in your hand baggage. You are allowed to take enough for the journey. In some cases this may be over 100ml. The adult carrying the baby food or milk may be asked to verify it by tasting.
Hold luggage All our brochure priced holidays include at least 20 kg per person luggage allowance. If you have more than 20 kg luggage per person and it is not pre-booked, it will be liable to excess baggage charges. Individual items of luggage must not exceed 30kg. Additional baggage allowance can be purchased from the airline prior to departure.
Sports equipment Sports equipment, golf clubs and diving equipment are generally accepted by airlines, weight and space-permitting. Charges will apply, payable either at time of booking or at the airport. If not pre-booked, excess baggage charges will apply. We recommend that you have specific insurance for these items. Contact your airline to pre-book sports equipment.

Safety in the air We always try to help you enjoy your holiday flight as much as you can, but we also have to look out for the safety and comfort of all the passengers on a flight. For that reason, the airlines we use have the right to refuse travel or impose additional conditions of carriage on any passenger who: Is intoxicated or disruptive Is caught smoking on the aircraft Makes inappropriate remarks, such as indicating that they may be carrying a bomb, gun or other weapon. Passengers who are refused travel will be responsible for arranging alternative travel at their own expense.
Smoking All our partner airlines operate a total smoking ban. Smoking on board is against the law and punishable by a fine.
