***In response to the ongoing situation in the Middle East and its impact on global fuel prices, a temporary fuel surcharge of $5 per person has been applied to new bookings of this tour, effective from 15 April 2026. We have absorbed these increased fuel costs for as long as possible, and this temporary measure is necessary to help manage the significant increase in operating costs.
