5. TRAVELER EXPECTATIONS & LIMITATIONS
d. Allow everyone access to a site for the energetic experience and for photography. Photography is encouraged for everyone on the tour but it is not to become a distraction from the spiritual intentions of the tour. Please ask don Juan before taking pictures of him or of any of the ceremonies. Usually time is provided after a ceremony for photography.
4. You are required to stay with the tour as scheduled. If a traveler decides to leave the tour for any reason, aside from a health matter or emergency, they will not be allowed to rejoin the tour at a later destination. Travelers are expected to begin and end the tour together.
A group travel experience is very different than traveling on your own or with friends. As a travel “community”, there are certain expectations required to create a pleasant tour experience:
1. Punctuality: In Egypt, there can be many unexpected delays. With that said, the expectation of each traveler is to be punctual for designated meeting times – designated times to meet in the lobby to begin the tour, designated times to meet at the sites after free time to depart the site, and any other established group meeting time.
2. Wake up calls: Each traveler is responsible to set their own “wake up call” to get ready to start the day. Each traveler has different needs in getting ready and it is the responsibility of each traveler to plan accordingly. If a traveler fails to show up for designated meeting times, the tour reserves the right to leave without the traveler and their meeting up with the group is their personal responsibility and their expense.
3. WhatsApp – The mode of communication while on the tour will be through a WhatsApp tour group chat. The daily schedule and updates will be posted on this platform and every traveler is expected to have access to the WhatsApp application.
3. Public conduct – Travelers are expected:
a. Avoid discussion of divisive topics such as but not exclusive of: politics, conspiracy theories, religion, gender identity, to name a few. The purpose of this tour is spiritual and we are seeking unity, not division.
b. Avoid “soapboxing” – Soapboxing is when a person using almost any opportunity to espouse their personal belief about an issue with the implicit message that they have the correct viewpoint on the matter. This is not helpful or useful on a group tour.
c. Treat everyone – travelers, guides, locals, with dignity and respect. Swearing or becoming enraged with anyone is not acceptable and can be cause for dismissal from the tour. If a traveler has a strong feeling about something, the expectation is that they act like an adult and approach Abdullah with their concern. Shouting, cursing, swearing, intimidating or physically touching or assaulting anyone could have legal repercussions and will lead to dismissal from the tour without refund. Every effort will be made to get said individual to the airport to return home.
