The cost of arranging the permits, renting the vehicles, fuel, drivers, plus food, drinks and other equipment is approximately USD 22,000-25,000 for a two week trip with three vehicles, more if trip longer. This needs to be shared by the number of participants. In the first two days it's tight, but it becomes comfortable quickly as supplies start reducing. This implies a cost of 2200 - 3000 per person, depending on number of participants and trip itinerary and duration. This is non refundable, as the permits are issued irrespective of a person coming or not.
Full payment is required only on arrival to Cairo, directly to the agency lending the cars.
Disclaimer Please note, that the expeditions promoted on this website are NOT organised tours. Given the nature of the area and terrain, FJ Expeditions cannot guarantee either itinerary or duration of the trip, as unforeseen circumstances or emergencies may cut the expeditions short, or force an alteration of course. The agency renting the vehicles does so on a daily basis, so if an expedition is shorter than planned, some refund is attainable, to be shared equally among participants. If there is a time overrun, the same amount of additional cost must be shared among participants. FJ Expeditions assumes no responsibility for any accidents or medical emergencies during the trip, including trip cut short by any emergency.
