Smells, Sounds & Textures

Egypt is a sensoryrich environment. You may encounter:

We will always prepare you in advance and adjust the environment where possible.

• Frequent rest breaks can be built into every day.

• If you need extra time, we simply take it, there is no rush.

• Our guides are patient, calm, and experienced with SEND travellers.

• They explain what will happen next, what to expect, and how long things will take.

• If you prefer minimal talking, more talking, or very clear instructions, just tell us.

Egyptian food is delicious but may be unfamiliar.

We can help you find:

• mild flavours

• familiar options

• quiet places to eat

If you have ARFID or sensorybased eating needs, we will support you without judgement.

• All sightseeing tickets are paid by card only.

• Your tours do not include entrance tickets.

• At the Egyptian Museum, queues can be long and confusing, so we strongly recommend buying your tickets online before you arrive.

• We can help you choose the correct tickets (avoid “Egyptian nationals only”).

If queues are difficult for you, we will plan timings to minimise waiting.

Egyptians are warm, friendly, and curious. You may experience:

• people waving

• people wanting to talk

• people offering help

• children approaching you

This is normal and meant kindly. If social interaction is difficult or overwhelming, your guide will gently manage this for you.

• Some people may ask for a tip if photographed.

• Some areas do not allow photography.

• Your guide will handle all of this so you don’t need to worry.

• We can minimise the number of daily transitions if needed.

• Private vehicles allow quiet, calm travel.

• If you prefer routine, we can keep the same driver and guide throughout.
