    ** If you arrive in the early hours between 00:00 and 11:30, you must add the optional early check-in to have access to your room immediately. You will have the option to add early check-in on arrival in the next step of the booking process.

    ** Important notes regarding accommodation:

    None of the camps offered in Wadi Rum can be considered as a Luxury option as Luxury camps do not exist in Wadi Rum. All the camps are operated by Bedouins, not Hoteliers. The standard of service is equal between camps but can't be considered equal in comparison to the other hotels offered in the tour.

    Tent types and allocation in Wadi Rum are the same for both Charm and Superior Categories. You can upgrade to a Martian Tent during the next step of the booking process, or select our Luxury accommodation category as the Martian tent comes included.

    Turkey: The hotels in Istanbul  of the Charm category are not close to the city center (Taksim). In the Superior and Luxury category the hotels in Istanbul are close to the city center.

    Any hotel mentioned in the offer, whether the main one or an alternative, is as likely as each other to be confirmed. You will find your final hotel confirmation on your updated trip summary approximately 7 days before departure.

    If you choose the Superior or Luxury category, only the location and category of the hotel in Istanbul will change. The rest of the hotels in your itinerary will be the same in each category. In the event of any changes, the hotels you stay at will always be in the same category as you selected, or a superior one.

    *** Upgrade to full-board by adding 6 lunches in local restaurants in the next step of the booking process.

    *** Dinner box supplement (per box/dinner) for the first night is available in the next step of the booking process.

    To guarantee optional services, we recommend that you add them to your current booking, as they are subject to availability.

    **** Turkey: In case your flight is taking off from Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) International Airport, the transfer from hotel to the airport is not included and you could add it for an extra cost during the booking process.
