This is a problem for all of us we are afraid.

Our prices are structured for a minimum of two people and we have already cut them down as much as we can.

It is quite impossible for us to take just one person for the price that two people pay individually, and we have to add a surcharge which is usually about  50%, depending on the requirements of the tour.

Many people write to us saying that they "would like to join a group" but it doesn't work like this. The "groups" we have are private or family groups who have reserved together and often they do not want outsiders with them - which we consider to be very reasonable.

During the peak holiday months of April and October, there is a good chance that we can fit you in with somebody else, but even then you should not count on this. The rest of the year if you cannot link up with other people (in Petra for instance) you should only contact us if you are willing to pay the extra price. There is no point in your asking us if there are any other bookings for the dates you are interested in - we have found the hard way that people frequently change dates, change their programmes or cancel altogether.

Please do not write to us several weeks or even months in advance. This is quite useless. Most people reserve with us a week or two in advance only, and the time for any solo traveller to get in touch is three or four days before they plan to come - or even later! If you can keep your plans flexible, this helps, but we do understand that this is not always easy.

Besides money and the cost for just one person, we have the further problem of not wanting to block a guide for just one traveller for a particular programme, especially a long one, when we might be seriously short of guides in general. So even if you are willing to pay the extra money we might have other considerations which make us refuse - we would not open the desert camp for just one person to sleep there for instance.

We are sorry about this, but while we are anxious to help you, there is a limit to what we can do.
