Payment and invoicing
Pay after you approve a written outline. We issue invoices with company name Downtown Cairo Pass Guides LLC, Tax ID 794-682-153, and GAFI registry 508294. Bank transfer details arrive by email; in-office card payment is available at 22 Bab al-Louq Street. No plan includes museum admission—you budget tickets separately using price snapshots inside your pack.
Add-ons and bundles
Combine Coptic Explorer and Islamic Walker for EGP 1,180 when both days fall within the same week. Full Old Cairo integration reviews cost EGP 450 on top of either tier. Metro deep-dive alone is EGP 120 if not bundled.
Refund and cancellation terms
Cancel before we deliver PDFs: full refund minus EGP 80 admin fee. Cancel after delivery but seven or more days before your first walking day: fifty percent refund. Within seven days or after your start date: no refund unless we failed to deliver any usable document—documented by email thread. Disputes go to Cairo commercial courts under GAFI registration 508294.
Force majeure closures affecting multiple monuments trigger credit toward future seasons rather than cash refunds when we already performed hour research labor.
Currency and tax display
Prices quoted in EGP include VAT where applicable per ETA rules. USD invoices convert at Central Bank daily rate on invoice date plus two percent processing margin for international wires. Receipts email within twenty-four hours of cleared payment.
Seasonal surcharges
Christmas Coptic week and Easter Orthodox windows add EGP 90 rush surcharge when hour verification demand peaks—disclosed before payment. No hidden holiday fees appear on invoices without prior email consent.
What's not included in any tier
Museum admission, licensed guide fees, taxi or metro fares, meals, shopping purchases, travel insurance, hotel rooms, and airport transfers remain your direct expenses. Our PDFs estimate but never prepay those items on your behalf.
Upgrade path mid-trip
If you finish Coptic Explorer faster than expected and want Islamic Walker the next day, email [email protected] before eight Cairo time. Upgrades priced at difference minus EGP 50 loyalty credit when consecutive days booked reactively.
Sample invoice line items
Invoices show: plan name, EGP subtotal, VAT if applicable, ETA 794-682-153, GAFI 508294, payment method, and delivery date. Add-ons list separately—metro appendix EGP 120, evening routes EGP 180, Old Cairo integration EGP 450—so finance teams approve expenses without ambiguity.
Price guarantee window
Quoted plan prices lock for fourteen days after outline email. Egypt inflation may adjust public list prices afterward; honored quotes remain valid if payment clears before expiry date printed on outline footer.
Gift purchases and third-party payers
Relatives paying for your honeymoon Cairo days may invoice separately—include traveler email on payment reference so PDFs deliver to the walking party, not only the payer. Gift messages print on cover page at no extra cost when requested before PDF generation.
Academic and research discounts
Graduate researchers documenting urban heritage may request fifteen percent educational discount with university ID scan; excludes peak Christmas Coptic week. Discount applies to planning fee only, not third-party guide hires.
VAT receipts email in PDF and print-friendly A4; include your company TRN if you are UAE-based agency booking for clients—we add fields on request.
