Cancellation

Cancellation Policy

The year of 2020 brought on turbulent times and even though things are getting better, people still have many concerns with travelling or putting down deposits on trips. People are concerned that their flight could be cancelled, or that new restrictions could be put in place last minute. That is why here at Majali Tours we are proud to offer tours that are financially risk free.

If you need to cancel a trip you have the following options:

  1. Guaranteed Deposits

When you place a deposit it is secured for your future trip. Your deposit will never expire and can be applied to any trip that we offer.

2.      Changing Your Travel Dates

If your travel plans change, just let us know and we can apply your deposit to another trip. The only exception to this rule is if you inform us less than 24 hours before your scheduled travel dates.

3.      Getting A Refund

We will always give you a refund if you request it, all you have to do is email the agent you have been working with or you can contact us at info@majalitours.com. The refund that you are entitled to depends on what tour you have booked and what dates they are for please read more about it in our terms and conditions.

For more information on our cancellation and refund policy please read the cancellations section of our terms and conditions where you can find the full details of all of our policies.

What happens if I need to cancel the trip?

The booking process begins with your email or phone call to our offices. A personal travel consultant, whose responsibilities encompass all communications with you as well as planning and arranging all of the details of

your tour, will be designated. Once all of the details have been agreed upon, an invoice will be issued enabling you to make a deposit confirming your booking.

Your adventure will be deemed confirmed once a deposit payment reaches our account, of which our designated travel consultant will inform you immediately. Depending on the type of your tour, the deadline for the deposit payment will be set by our consultant.

Full payment for your tour must be made 14 days before the scheduled commencement date, unless otherwise agreed with our consultant in writing. In any case, all of our travel packages should be fully prepaid.

Timely payments are essential, as these funds will be used to cover hotel reservations and other tour-related expenses, which - in turn - tend to be fully prepaid in Destination Located. Failure to make timely payments without prior notification of - or arrangements with - our Company may result in our cancelling your booking. Any deposit made may be forfeited according to our cancellation policies.

Please note that all transaction-related charges applicable to your payments must be covered by you. All banking commissions for both sender and receiver must be covered by you when using wire transfers. A 3.5% surcharge shall be applicable to all credit card payments.

If the deposit and final payments made to our accounts are for any reason incomplete, we shall charge you for the missing amount upon your arrival in Destination.
