Your contract is with Creative Basket, Egypt, part of AHG Group, named on every page. Nothing is paid until you approve a written proposal that names your hotel, ship and every inclusion.

By bank transfer to our Egyptian bank account once your proposal is approved, or ask us about other payment options for your country. Account details are sent with your confirmation, never before, and we never ask for cash on arrival.
