The Program Fee changes from year to year and usually escalates. Please consult the Brochure available above for the price structure this year. This is an inclusive program charge, including all gratuities. It can be very bothersome, constantly to be asked to "tip" for this or that service. You will never be asked for a gratuity on this tour. However, private purchases, incidentals and transfers to and from JFK/Newark are at the participants' expense. Bring cash and a credit card with you; personal checks are "occasionally" accepted as well. You will find a wealth of exotic buying opportunities.
We invite you to compare our program price to any other you can find, so confident are we that on an "apples to apples" basis no one, but no one, is in our league. Be sure to note the 23 day schedule, quality of our accommodations, 3 meals per day, Airline tickets and sleeper-compartment trains, all gratuities covered and what few if any other program includes -- the grandeur of EGYPT. It is not wise to travel so far and spend so much without enjoying the wonders of Egypt, including Mt. Sinai and the Red Sea. We are confident you will find that with the amenities we provide, we have no peers.
With regard to the basic registration fee of $250, it is fully refundable, less a $45 administration fee, until 90 days prior to departure. Thereafter, a graduated approach is used. As various stages of progress toward departure date are reached, larger and larger percentages of the total cost are assessed. Please see "Cancellation Fees" on the reverse side of the "FINE PRINT" sheet. At the bottom of this sheet is the "Registration Form," noted above (these comments refer to pages in the official program brochure, sent upon request). PASSPORT: A valid U.S. passport is required. You will need to obtain such from the passport office of your own local County Court House. An original birth certificate is the easiest way to establish identity.
You will need to transfer your passport information to our "Visa Information Form". Don't be concerned about any information on this form of which you are not aware; it will be handled by the Jerusalem Center. This must be sent to me before your documents are complete. Send it as soon as possible!
