2 Booking and Reservation Policy
- All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by the relevant service provider.
- Customers must provide accurate information while making a reservation, including their name, contact details, travel date, number of passengers and other required details.
- A booking is considered confirmed only after successful payment and receipt of booking confirmation, voucher or ticket, as applicable.
- Submitting a booking request or completing a payment does not guarantee availability until the reservation is confirmed.
- We reserve the right to decline or cancel a reservation if the requested service is unavailable, incorrect booking information is provided or a payment issue arises.
- Customers are responsible for reviewing all tour details, inclusions, exclusions, timings, pickup arrangements and eligibility requirements before confirming their booking.
- Any special requests are subject to availability and must be confirmed by our team or the relevant service provider.
3 Pricing and Payment Terms
All prices displayed on our website are generally quoted in UAE Dirhams (AED), unless otherwise stated.
Payment Conditions:
- Full payment or an advance payment may be required at the time of booking, depending on the selected tour or activity.
- A reservation may remain unconfirmed until the required payment has been successfully received.
- Bookings are subject to the prices displayed at the time of purchase, subject to any clearly communicated taxes, additional charges or applicable payment fees.
- Any additional services, upgrades, private transfers, meals or optional activities not included in the original package may incur extra charges.
- Customers must ensure that their payment details are accurate and that sufficient funds are available to complete the transaction.
- We reserve the right to decline or suspend bookings involving suspected fraudulent transactions, unauthorized payments or payment verification issues.
Important Payment Notice:
Once a booking has been confirmed and the relevant ticket, voucher or reservation has been issued, the applicable cancellation and refund conditions displayed for that particular tour will apply.
For non-refundable activities, attraction tickets, special events and selected seasonal packages, payments cannot be reversed simply because a customer changes their mind, provided the applicable terms were disclosed before purchase and subject to mandatory consumer rights under applicable law.
4 Booking Confirmation and Ticket Delivery
After successful payment and confirmation, customers will receive their booking confirmation, ticket or voucher through their registered email address or another agreed communication channel.
Customers are responsible for:

- Checking their inbox, spam and junk folders for booking communications.
- Reviewing the booking confirmation for accuracy.
- Keeping their tickets or vouchers available during the activity.
- Contacting our team immediately if confirmation details are not received.
A payment transaction receipt alone does not necessarily constitute confirmation of a tour reservation.
If you have completed payment but have not received your booking confirmation, please contact our support team before making another payment.
5 Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation and refund conditions vary depending on the tour, attraction, activity, event and service provider.
The cancellation policy specifically mentioned on the relevant tour or product page at the time of booking shall take precedence over the general cancellation provisions in this section.
Customers are advised to carefully review the cancellation terms before making payment.
5.1 Customer-Initiated Cancellations
- Cancellation requests must be submitted through our official email or customer support channels.
- The applicable cancellation period will be calculated based on the scheduled activity or departure time, using the local time in Dubai.
- Cancellations made within the non-refundable period may attract up to 100% cancellation charges.
- Certain tickets, attraction passes, adventure activities, special events and New Year packages may be completely non-refundable once confirmed.
- Where cancellation is permitted, refunds will be processed according to the specific product's cancellation policy.
- Verbal cancellation requests may not be considered valid unless acknowledged by our team.
5.2 No-Show and Late Arrival
Customers are responsible for arriving at the designated meeting or pickup location at the specified time.
If a customer:

- Misses the scheduled pickup or departure.
- Arrives after the activity or cruise has started.
- Fails to carry the required ticket or booking confirmation.
- Is unable to participate due to personal reasons or failure to meet the activity requirements.
The booking may be treated as a no-show, and the customer may not be entitled to any refund or rescheduling.
Cruises, attraction entry slots, flights and other scheduled activities generally cannot be delayed to accommodate late arrivals.
5.3 Partially Used or Unused Services
No refunds will generally be provided for:
- Services that have already commenced.
- Partially completed tours or activities.
- Unused tickets, transfers, meals or package inclusions.
- Customers who voluntarily leave an activity before completion.
- Services that customers choose not to use after the booking has been confirmed.
Exceptions may apply where required by applicable law or where the relevant service provider agrees to a refund.
5.4 Refund Processing Time
Where a refund is approved:
- Refunds will generally be initiated within 7–14 working days, unless a different period is specified on the relevant product page.
- Refunds will normally be issued through the original payment method.

- Additional processing time may be required for international transactions.
- Any applicable non-refundable transaction or processing charges will be handled in accordance with the disclosed booking terms and applicable law.
Customers should contact their bank or payment provider if an approved refund has been processed but has not appeared within the expected timeframe.

Examples include:
- New Year Eve cruises and yacht parties.

Where a special event is marked non-refundable, the customer acknowledges this condition when proceeding with the purchase.

10 Third-Party Service Providers
Book Tours in Dubai may arrange bookings with independent tour operators, cruise companies, transportation providers, attractions and activity organizers.

- Activity operations and safety procedures.

12 Force Majeure
We shall not be considered in breach of these Terms & Conditions where performance is prevented or materially affected by events beyond our reasonable control.
Such events may include natural disasters, severe weather, pandemics, government restrictions, civil disturbances, transport disruptions, strikes, emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances.
Where such circumstances affect a confirmed booking, we will work with the relevant service provider to identify an appropriate alternative or refund arrangement, subject to the applicable booking terms and law.
13 Payment Disputes and Chargebacks
We take payment security and booking disputes seriously.

Where a payment dispute or chargeback is raised, we may provide relevant transaction and booking documentation to the payment processor, acquiring bank or card issuer to establish the status of the transaction and the service purchased.
Customers must not request a chargeback for a payment they have genuinely authorized and for which the agreed service has been provided or made available in accordance with the booking terms.
If a customer has a genuine payment concern, duplicate transaction, unauthorized transaction or failure of service, they should notify us promptly so that the matter can be investigated.
Nothing in this section restricts a customer's statutory rights to dispute an unauthorized transaction or seek a legitimate payment remedy.
