Petra to Wadi Rum Trek

Tour and Transfer Notes:

For the “Driver-Only” trip options, please be aware no guide is provided. The driver is not allowed to accompany the clients into the sites or give any explanation in or around the official tourist sites.

Guides with languages other than English may be at a supplement. Please check with us.

When crossing the land borders into Jordan, occassionally the Israelis close Allenby Bridge early. This is in special circumstances and is often unannounced; it happens a couple of times a year. It is possible if this happens, to travel via Jordan Valley Crossing which is 90 minutes north of Allenby/ King Hussein Bridge.

Payment:

Minimum 25% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your booking, and full payment is due 30 days prior to the tour start date.  

Payment is by bank transfer, PayPal, credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or cash on arrival (with credit card details as guarantee).

Refusal of entry at the border:

As a tour company we make sure that you have all the information you need regarding crossing the border prior to your trip, however we have no control over the procedures and systems followed by the border authorities, so we can’t guarantee your entry at the border.

Please be aware that if a customer is denied entry at the border by the border authorities for any reason, we can’t be responsible for that, hence the cancelation terms shown below would be applicable.

Cancellation fees:

Cancellation charge from total trip price.

For 1-9 people:

31+ Days before the trip – 75% refund

30 – 8 Days before the trip – 50% refund

7 – 1 Days before the trip  – no refund

For Groups 10+ people:

31+ Days before the trip – 25% cancellation charge.

30 – 1 Days before the trip – 100% cancellation charge.

If paying by credit card directly through the office, there is an additional 6% charge to cover the credit card company commission costs, which we still pay even when providing a refund.

If paying by Paypal, there are no additional Paypal charges if the refund is requested within 2 months of the original payment. After this period the refund amount will be sent through paypal, but the customer will have to pay the normal paypal charges to receive this payment.

Agent Confirmation & Payment:

For agents, we confirm bookings on written confirmation of a new trip with dates. We require a 25% deposit a minimum of 45 days prior to trip departure and full payment by bank transfer minimum 30 days prior to trip departure. This deposit is to cover cancellation fees for hotels and other service providers.

Please provide the final rooming list at least 45 days prior to the trip date. If this changes last minute, we may not be able to guarantee availability with hotels.

Agent Cancelation Policy:

46+ Days prior to the trip – full refund

31 – 45 Days prior to the trip – 75% refund (Up to 20% of group can cancel with no charge)

30 – 8 Days prior to the trip – 50% refund

7 – 1 Days before trip – no refund

Refund Policy:

If you cancel your trip and qualify for a refund, as per the cancellation policy above, we will process the refund within 1 week of agreement to the refund. The money will normally be refunded by the same method the payment was made, unless mutually agreed by both parties to transfer the refund by a different method.

Tour Rescheduling:

If you cancel your trip at short notice, but want to keep the credit you have paid for a future trip, this can be mutually agreed.  We will generally deduct some cancellation fee for the administrative costs from the first tour, but the outstanding credit can be put towards a new tour, however this must be within 12 months of the date of the first trip, otherwise the full cancellation costs will apply.  The credit cannot be transferred to a different person.  

Delivery Policy & Method:

In order to get approval to receive Credit Card payment, we have to have a section titled “Deliver Policy & Method” in our terms and conditions.  Since we provide services, rather than delivery of products, this section is not really necessary.  But here it is anyway:
