EGYPTIAN IMMERSION ITINERARY

Breathtaking adventures and extreme

value for money are the hallmarks of a

‘You Just Live Once’ trip. Our trips

are aimed at 20-40 somethings who

prefer a fun, independent, convenient

and responsible way to travel. The

structure for a great travel experience

is in place, but plenty of free time

means you can go off and make your

own discoveries.

What makes us different from other

tour operators is that most of our trips

are led by us personally. We could

easily pay others to lead our trips but

we do what we do because we love it.

Driven by our dedication, passion and

experience we strive to make each tour

more exciting and interesting than the

last. Whenever it is not possible for us

to be on the trips, we only use local

leaders. This is our core philosophy,

and one that works perfectly. By

employing a leader who is local to the

area you are travelling through, you

benefit from the wealth of his or her

first hand knowledge. He knows the

best restaurants to eat in, the best food

to choose when you’re there and how

to read the menu! He knows the best

time to visit the sites, the best way to

get from A to B, the best backstreets to

explore, and most importantly how to

communicate with everyone else in the

country. Fully trained, licensed and

fluent in English, your local leader

will be the difference between great

holiday experience and an exceptional

one.

We travel on local transport whenever

practical and we stay in locally-owned

centrally positioned, spotlessly clean

and comfortable superior hotels unless

different arrangements are specified in

the brochure. This means that the

prices are fantastic - always the best

on the market - and you’re immersing

yourself in the culture while

supporting local businesses especially

when outside Europe.

Many of your most memorable

experiences will occur when you branch

out and do your own thing, and we

understand that different people have

different interests, so we build in free time

to make your own discoveries. The

framework is in place, and the details are

taken care of, but on many days, you

decide what you want to see and do. After

all, you might be thoroughly sick and

tired of temples, while another traveller

just can't get enough of them. It's your

holiday, so it's your choice. We aim to

cover off the 'must see' places (after all we

all have a list of things we want to see in

our lives!) but also take time to get off the

beaten track and see the weird and

wonderful things that you'll be talking

about for years to come.

HOW IS YOUJUSTLIVEONCE DIFFERENT?

CAIRO - EGYPT

Our direct flight to Cairo leaves Malta at 16:05 and arrives at the brand new terminal in Cairo Airport at 18:40. A local

representative of youjustliveonce.com will greet us at the airport and assist through entry visa formalities. We will then be

driven to the hotel in Cairo in a private vehicle and where we will be given a short briefing about the next day’s activities.

The evening is free. Providing there is time, one can opt for an optional dinner cruise on the Nile or else take a relaxing evening

followed by an early sleep in view of a full next day.

GREAT EGYPTIAN MUSEUM – PYRAMIDS OF GIZA & SPHINX

After breakfast, our guide will meet us at the hotel lobby and drive us to Giza plateau where we can admire the great pyramids of

Cheops, Chephren and Mykerions. Sole survivors from the ancient Seven Wonders of the World, the pyramids are the planet’s oldest

tourist attraction! The largest of the three great pyramids, the one at Cheops (Khufu) is constructed from over 2.5 million limestone

blocks and it is thought to have taken more than 20 years to construct. Next to the pyramids is also the famous Sphinx. An Egyptology

expert will accompany us at all these attractions to give us a true understanding of our ‘discoveries’.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. On display is a rare collection of 5000 years of art the largest and

most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000 genuine artefacts are presented, including an exhibit dedicated to

the Tutankhamen collection of treasures, gold and jewellery, as it was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being

discovered in the 1920s. A very important aspect of this visit is the knowledge that our local Egyptology guide will pass on to us at the

museum. It will bring all the temples and treasures that you will see in the coming days into perspective. From the museum it’ll probably be time for us to grab some lunch. Provided that we have time on our hands, our recommendation

would be to have it somewhere around the Khan El Khalili Bazaars. We’ll be driven there by our driver and should have free time to

roam around the oldest bazaar of its kind in Egypt. The Khan El Khalili is legendary for fine brassware, copper, perfumes, leather,

silver, gold and antiques but it’s not just a mecca for shoppers… it’s also a mecca for photographers or for people who just love to

absorb the smells, sights and sounds of a different place.

For those who have already been to Cairo before, an alternative option such as a tour to the Citadel and the Alabaster Mosque will be

available. This will be done in combination with a tour to the Coptic region, home to the Hanging Church, Abu Serga church and Ben

Ezra synagogue.

In the evening, our driver will see us off at the train station where we’ll board the overnight sleeper train to Aswan. This train is

comfortable and an experience on its own. Dinner will be served in the private cabins and is included.

ITINERARY - DAY 1 - 19TH

APRIL

ITINERARY - DAY 2 - 20TH

APRIL

ASWAN – HIGH DAM – PHILAE TEMPLE

Today, breakfast is served on the train before arrival in Aswan. Our local representative will greet us at the train station and accompany

us to see the High Dam – a modern feat of engineering - creating the world’s largest artificial lake, Lake Nasser!

Today's highlight is a visit to the romantic Philae Temple on Agilika Island - dedicated to the goddess Isis which we will reach by

felucca which makes quite a leisurely trip on its own. The main Temple of Isis and its monuments were built between the 26th-dynasty

and the Roman period and were removed from the island of Philae which lies submerged most of the year by the waters of Lake

Nasser.

As the sun sets, we can enjoy some free time in the colourful souks and markets or simply relax and watch an amazing sunset in

Egypt's southernmost town straddling the River Nile.

ITINERARY - DAY 3 - 21ST

APRIL

ASWAN – ABU SIMBEL

Today one can opt to explore Aswan or else take the highly recommended optional full day trip to Abu Simbel. Fronted by four

huge 20m-high figures of Ramses II, The Great Temple of Abu Simbel is probably the most famous Egyptian temple.

Originally carved into the mountainside adjoining the Nile, the temples were moved here during the construction of the Aswan

High Dam in the 1960s to save them from inundation from the Nile waters. Nearby, also saved, lies the small Temple of the

King's wife Nefertari, dedicated to the goddess Hathor. This option includes transfers to/from Aswan in an air conditioned

private vehicle as part of a convoy of vehicles that make the trip every day. Whenever possible we’ll join the convoy that

leaves early in the morning. This allows us to be in Abu Simbel before it gets very hot. It will also enable us to be back in

Aswan relatively early which gives us ample time to go round town.

ITINERARY - DAY 4 - 22ND

APRIL

ASWAN

Today is a free day and is intended to be a break from the temples and places of interest. It is perfect to chill out and explore

Aswan – small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile. Here the river flows through

amber desert and granite rocks, round emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants. In Aswan, the pace of life is

slow and relaxing – this along with the scenery and landscapes lead to it being often considered to be more African than Middle

Eastern.

One can just stroll by the waterfront, drift along the Nile on a felucca or take some time to explore a typical Nubian village. In

the evening, one can visit the local souk which is considered to be one of the most authentic in Egypt or enjoy dinner in a local

restaurant by the sea.

ITINERARY - DAY 5 - 23RD

APRIL

LUXOR – KARNAK – LUXOR TEMPLE

After breakfast at our hotel in Aswan, we’ll be accompanied by our rep to the train station where you’ll board the train to Luxor…

often called the world’s greatest open air museum. The number and the preservation of the monuments in the Luxor area are probably

unparalleled anywhere else in the world. This, combined with the undeniable charm of the town makes Luxor the ‘tourist capital of

Egypt’.

We can practically spend the entire morning at the Temple of Karnak - the home temple of the god Amun-Re. Karnak is the biggest

temple complex in the world, covering an area of 100 hectares and there is nowhere more impressive to the first-time visitor. Much of

it has been restored during the last century and more artefacts are unearthed each year. In ancient times, Karnak was known as Ipet-isut,

'The most select of places'.

Luxor is also home to the Temple of Luxor, the only one open by day and night. As the sun sets, the Temple of Luxor, close to a large

tourist souk, seems to stand apart from the world of the living. Its columns, colossal statues and bays recover their serenity, oblivious to

the carriages passing by. We will visit the temple late afternoon to give ourselves enough time to see the temple by daylight. Then we’ll

find a quiet corner to chill out until the temple is beautifully lit after sunset. Then we can enjoy it when it’s very mysterious and at its

most romantic. A good idea for the evening would be to attend the Sound and Light Show at the temple… quite impressive and mystic.

ITINERARY - DAY 6 - 24TH

APRIL

LUXOR – VALLEY OF THE KINGS – DEIR EL-BAHRI – COLOSSI OF MNEMNON

The adventurous will be up for an early rise this morning but it’s more than justified. How about starting the day cruising over the

many treasures of Luxor aboard a hot air balloon? The hot air balloon experience is a great one from observing the preparation for take

off to the crash landing at the end. All participants will be given refreshments and a flight certificate before returning to the hotel in

time for breakfast.

After breakfast we will start our tour of the West Bank by visiting the Necropolis of Thebes. Then, we’ll drive to the Valley of Kings, a

vast City of the Dead where magnificent tombs were carved into the desert rocks, decorated richly, and filled with treasures for the

afterlife by generations of Pharaohs. King Tutankhamen’s tomb and that of Queen Nefertari are probably the most famous. The latter is

closed for public and the former is accessible against payment.

On the return journey we’ll visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Ancient Egypt’s only female Pharaoh) at Deir el-Bahri, situated

dramatically below the cliffs as if nature itself had built this extraordinary monument.

We will also stop at the famed Colossi of Memnon. Known in Ancient Greek times for their haunting voices at dawn, the Colossi are

two gigantic sitting statues representing Amenophis III.

In the evening, we will take the overnight sleeper train back to Cairo. Dinner will be served on the train.

CAIRO - MALTA

We will have breakfast on board the train and will arrive in Cairo in the morning. Our representative will meet us at the train

station and accompany us to the airport. The flight back to Malta departs from Cairo Airport at 12:30am. The estimated time of

arrival in Malta is at 15:20 hrs.

If you have more days available and you would like to extend your stay in Egypt, we can offer you a number of interesting

options depending on your tastes. We can add a 3 day action packed desert safari or maybe you are into snorkelling and diving

and you would like to spend 3 days in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheik. If you have 2 weeks available, we can offer you an

itinerary that takes in all the highlights of the country… the cultural ones, the desert and the sea! Just get in touch with us and let

us inspire you!

TOUR COSTS & PRICES

ACCOMMODATION ON THE TRIP

OPTIONAL ATTRACTIONS / ACTIVITIES

The focus of the Egyptian Immersion trip is on providing you with maximum value for money. All hotels used on the trip have been

chosen on the basis of location, cleanliness and comfort however they are not luxury 5 Star hotels. The names of the hotels are not

included in the brochure as it’s not possible to block rooms so much in advance since our groups are small. We have short-listed a

number of superior quality hotels at every destination where we have an overnight and we will go for the best option once the tour is

closed and number of travellers confirmed. All hotels short-listed come with en-suite bathrooms and most include top facilities such

as swimming pools, restaurants and bars etc. and have very good reviews. They’ve all been used previously on

YouJustLiveOnce.com trips and always drew positive comments. On the Egyptian Immersion tour we will also spend 2 nights on a

deluxe sleeper train. Accommodation will be in private twin sleeper cabins. Breakfast and Dinner will also be served on board and are

included as per itinerary. Needless to say, one should keep in mind that Middle Eastern standards would not necessarily be on par

with European ones.

A Travel Insurance Policy is compulsory for those joining us on the Egyptian Immersion Trip. For your own comfort, we can include

you in the group travel policy. If you prefer to buy your own insurance policy, please specify “No” in the Booking Form. We

recommend that you arrange your travel insurance immediately after booking your trip, just in case you need to cancel your booking.

The price of our recommended Policy is € 30 (incl. duty) and below is a summary of benefits included. If you’re arranging your own

travel insurance, make sure that at least the benefits below are included. You will need to confirm with You Just Live Once, the

policy number of your travel insurance a few weeks before departure.

‘EGYPTIAN IMMERSION’ BOOKING FORM - COMPLETE IN BLOCK CAPITALS

‘You Just Live Once’ trips are planned to ensure maximum client

satisfaction. We want you to enjoy your trip as much as possible and return

back home satisfied, excited and above all convinced that you have been given good value for money. These Terms and Conditions have been laid out

to ensure that the agreement between ‘You Just Live Once’ and yourself are

clear and fair to both parties. These conditions cover every aspect of your

holiday, from the moment you book up until the moment you return home. The general conditions clearly spell out our obligations to you and also your

commitments to us when you book your holiday with us. ‘You Just Live

Once’ accepts bookings subject to the following terms and conditions: 1) Your Contract with ‘You Just Live Once’ To secure a booking ‘You Just Live Once’ or their agent requires a

completed and signed booking form together with a non-

refundable deposit of € 500 per person per tour or full payment for travel not

later than 56 days before departure. Clients booking by telephone, facsimile

or e-mail will be deemed to have read the booking conditions and accepted

them. A booking is accepted and becomes definite only from the date when

‘You Just Live Once’ has confirmed acceptance in writing and/or issued a

Confirmation Invoice. It is at this point that a contract between ‘You Just

Live Once’ and the Client comes into existence. Before your booking is

confirmed and a contract comes into force, ‘You Just Live Once’

reserves the right to increase or decrease brochure prices. ‘You Just

Live Once’ or their agents reserve the right to decline any booking at their

discretion. The contract is between ‘You Just Live Once’ and the Client,

being all persons named on the booking form travelling or intending to travel

with ‘You Just Live Once’. The person signing the booking form (which

incorporates these terms) warrants that he/she has full authority to do so on

behalf of all persons whose names appear thereon, and confirms that all

such persons are fully aware of and accept these conditions. The

contract, including all matters rising from it, is subject to Maltese

Law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Maltese Courts. No employee

of ‘You Just Live Once’ other than a director has the authority to vary or

omit any of these terms or promise any discount or refund.

2) Payment for your Trip The balance of all monies due, including any surcharges

applicable at that time, must be paid to ‘You Just Live Once’ or their

agent not later than 56 days before departure. In the case of non-payment of

the balance by the due date, ‘You Just Live Once’ will treat the booking as

cancelled by the Client and the deposit forfeited. 3) The Local Payment If the Trip being booked requires a local payment, this must be paid in cash

at the start of the trip to the group leader / courier on the day of departure in

the currency stated beforehand in the Trip dossier, brochure or pre-departure

briefing. The Local Payment does not cover all meals but is an intrinsic part

of the tour cost and contributes towards the overall costs. It is accepted that

the Local Payment amount is subject to change due to exchange

fluctuations and price shifts as its is based on estimates at the time of

publishing. 4) Changes by You Any changes to the original booking must be confirmed in writing by the

person signing the booking form and must be accompanied by an

administration fee of € 50 per booking in addition to the cost of any

extra services required. Whilst every reasonable effort will be made to

accommodate changes and additional requests, their availability cannot be

guaranteed. A change of departure date must be requested in writing

by the person signing the booking form and must be accompanied by an

administration fee of € 50, unless the request is within 56 days of

departure in which case cancellation fees will be applied as detailed in

paragraph 7 (below). 5 a) Changes by Us While ‘You Just Live Once’ will use its best endeavours to operate all

tours as advertised, by entering into this contract the Client accepts

that it may prove necessary or advisable to vary or modify a tour itinerary or

its contents due to prevailing local conditions. ‘You Just Live Once’

reserves the right at any time to cancel or change any of the facilities,

services or prices described in the brochure (including flights,

accommodation or other arrangements) and to substitute alternative

arrangements of comparable monetary value without compensation

and accepts no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these

changes. If a major change is known to us, the Client will be told at the time

of booking. If a major change becomes necessary ‘You Just Live Once’ will

inform the Client as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before

departure.

5 b) In the event of a tour not reaching the operational minimum number of

participants, then ‘You Just Live Once’ is within its right to consolidate

the tour or offer an alternative. In this event ‘You Just Live Once’ will

refund in full any deposits/monies paid for services being offered by ‘You

Just Live Once’. ‘You Just Live Once’ will not however be liable for any

penalty charges or additional charges incurred by the client in buying

services from 3rd

parties in relation to the trip.

6) Substitution of Client If any number of the party is prevented from travelling because of death,

injury or serious illness of the passenger, close relative or friend,

redundancy or jury service, it may be possible to transfer the booking to

another suitable person (acceptable to ‘You Just Live Once’) provided

that written notice is given at least 30 days prior to departure. An

administration fee of €50 will be levied plus any costs imposed by our

suppliers. 7) Cancellation by You The Client may cancel the booking at any time provided that the cancellation

is communicated to ‘You Just Live Once’ in writing. Cancellation

charges will be applied as shown below calculated from the day when

written notice is received by ‘You Just Live Once’; 56 and more days before departure - forfeit of deposit

55- 42 days before departure - 50% of total amount

41 - 28 days before departure - 80% of total amount

Less than 28 days before departure - 100% of total amount

8) Cancellation by Us ‘You Just Live Once’ reserves the right to cancel a tour in any

circumstances but, except for force majeure and consolidation we will not

cancel a tour less than 28 days before departure. ‘You Just Live Once’

will, upon cancellation, return all monies paid or offer an alternative tour of

comparable standard and value.

9) Punctuality on the Trip Most of ‘You Just Live Once’ start and end in one of the destination

countries and normally international airfare prior and post tour is not

included in the trip price. It is the full responsibility of Client to arrive at the

Meeting Hotel to meet the rest of the group at the scheduled time of

departure on Day 1. Even if the Tour Leader is notified of such delay, it will

be at his/her unique discretion whether to wait or not. Whenever possible,

directions will be given for traveller to join the group at a later stage. The

Tour Leader’s obligations are to ensure the smooth running of the itinerary.

‘You Just Live Once’ will not issue refunds for any services / activities not

used due to client not being at a meeting point at the scheduled time notified

by the Tour leader. 10) Surcharges ‘You Just Live Once’ reserves the right to increase the tour cost to take

account of the following items: government action, currency exchange

rates, transportation costs, including the cost of fuel and over-flying

charges. ‘You Just Live Once’ will absorb a sum equal to 5% of the tour cost

should a surcharge be necessary. The Client will have to pay any sum in

excess of 5%, but if the surcharge results in an increase of more than 20% of

the tour cost the client may cancel the booking within 7 days of

notification of the surcharge and obtain a full refund. 11 a) Travel Insurance Travel Insurance is mandatory for all Clients whilst on an

organised tour by ‘You Just Live Once’. Clients together with their personal

property including baggage are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients

are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance. A suitable

insurance policy should provide adequate cover for medical expenses

arising through illness or accident prior to or during the holiday and loss

of holiday monies through cancellation and curtailment of the holiday for

insurable reasons. Clients making their own arrangements should ensure

that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of

activities in their tour. 12 b) Client acknowledges that in certain countries the vehicle/s used for

transport might not have the benefit of passenger liability insurance. The

client agrees to indemnify ‘You Just Live Once’ against any claim or

demand made in respect of any accident, personal injury or loss of life

caused to, contracted or suffered by the client during the course of the

expedition. 13) Passports, Visas and Vaccinations It is the responsibility of the Client to be in possession of a valid passport,

visa permits, inoculations and preventative medicines as may be required for

the duration of the tour. Information about these matters or related items is

given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of ‘You Just Live

Once’. 14 a) Age, Fitness and Participation All Clients are expected to satisfy themselves prior to booking that they are

fit and able to complete the itinerary of their chosen tour as described.

Persons over 60 years of age may be asked to provide medical

evidence of fitness to travel on certain itineraries. No unaccompanied

minors (those under 18 years of age) can be accepted on tours operated

by ‘You Just Live Once’, however older teenagers may be considered

providing they are accompanied by a parent or a guardian who accepts full

responsibility for them. ‘You Just Live Once’ reserves the absolute right to

decline a booking at their discretion. Clients agree to accept the

authority and decisions of ‘You Just Live Once’s employees, tour leaders,

and agents whilst on tour with ‘You Just Live Once’. If in the opinion of

such person, the health or conduct of a Client before or after the

departure appears likely to endanger the safe, comfortable or happy

progress of the tour, the Client may be excluded from all or part of the tour.

In the case of ill health ‘You Just Live Once’ may make such arrangements

as it sees fit and recover the costs thereof from the Client. 15 b) Code of Conduct: If the Tour Leader considers the actions or conduct of any client is likely to

prejudice the safety or wellbeing of all or any members of the trip or

satisfactory progress of the trip then he/she shall be entitled to order the

client to leave the trip immediately with no refund of the trip price or

Local Payment and all liability and responsibility that the company

may bear to the client will immediately cease, including any

provision for alternative transport. In the event of any person leaving

the trip of their own accord or in extenuating circumstances being asked

to leave by the tour leader, that person will be liable for their

own maintenance and expenses and have no claim against ‘You Just Live

Once’ whatsoever. The decision of the tour leader will be final on all matters

relating to the satisfactory progress, organization and wellbeing of the

trip. Clients must comply with all reasonable requests of the tour leader. If a

client commits an illegal act the client may be excluded from the trip

and ‘You Just Live Once’ shall cease to have responsibility to/for them. No

refund will be given for any unused services.

16) Illness or Disability Anyone suffering from illness, disability or undergoing treatment for any

physical or medical condition must declare the true nature of such

condition at the time of booking and make arrangements for the

provision of any medication or other treatment required during the

tour. Failure to make such disclosure will constitute a breach of these

booking conditions and result in such persons being excluded form

the tour in which case all monies paid will be forfeited. If the chosen

holiday includes a cruise or excursion or transfer by boat of any sort the

Client must make it known at the time of booking if he/she is unable to

swim. This will not prevent the Client from participating in the tour but

will enable ‘You Just Live Once’ to take additional precautions for the

Client’s safety at such times as may be appropriate.

17) Local Laws All participants in tours operated by ‘You Just Live Once’ are expected

to obey the laws and regulations of the countries visited and any failure

to do so will relieve ‘You Just Live Once’ of all obligations that they

may otherwise have under these booking conditions. 18) If you have a Complaint If the Client has a complaint about any of the tour arrangements the

Client must bring it to the attention of the tour leader or other

representative of ‘You Just Live Once’ at the time so that they may use

their best endeavours to rectify the situation. It is only if ‘You Just Live

Once’ is made aware of any problems that there will be the

opportunity to put things right. 19) Our Responsibilities The tours operated or supplied by ‘You Just Live Once’ have been

designed to provide participants with an exposure to the true

nature of the environment visited and therefore involve an

element of potential risk and exposure to potential hazards over and

above those associated with normal ‘package’ holidays. All bookings are

accepted on the understanding that such risk and hazards are appreciated

by the Client and that all tours, treks and other activities are undertaken

at Client’s own will. The client accepts that this contract and the terms

and conditions may not be in accordance with any other tour

regulations that might exist. 20) The information given in the brochure and other literature supplied is given in good faith but no warranty is given that it is correct due to the fact that the brochure is prepared months before the actual trip

dates. This makes the contents of the brochure susceptible for changes. 21) No servant, agent or authorized representative of ‘You Just Live Once’ has authority to commit ‘You Just Live Once’ to any liability whatsoever and ‘You Just Live Once’ will not be bound by any statement or representation unless it is in writing and signed by one of the directors. 22) Clients accept that the prices quoted for optional activities are

approximate as local prices can and do change. Any of the optional

activities listed are not necessarily endorsed or recommended by

‘You Just Live Once’. Clients also accept that they undertake any

activity at their own risk & their participation is their own decision
