Itinerary Flexibility

The order of the sites visited may change based on traffic, crowd levels, and operational factors.
The standard itinerary may also be modified due to extraordinary events, unforeseen circumstances, or local restrictions.
Please note that the Ministry of Cultural Heritage or local site management may decide to close certain monuments or museums partially or entirely without notice.
In such cases, no refund or alternative visit will be provided, as these closures are outside our control.
