S et like a sun-flushed parchment through which the blue ink Nile flows eternally, tracing the ground

plan of human civilisation over 5,000 years. Egypt resounds with famous names throughout its history;

Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Kitchener and Montgomery – all came and campaigned here.

Cleopatra and Florence Nightingale were also here and Verdi composed and conducted Aida at the opening

celebrations of the Suez Canal in 1869.

The Nile, regarded as the world’s longest river, has shaped the character of the country and its people over

the ages. The river was a ready timepiece which guided their lives, from the governance of Joseph, to the

entry of Alexander.

Egypt was the place where they used the first tape to mark land claims and called the procedure Geometry

and where they invented the solar calendar of 12 months of thirty days; indeed the first recorded date

in world history, 4,241 BC, is Egyptian. In all respects, from religion to the arts, from navigation to the

engineering of massive edifices, it was an imperial civilisation.

Modern day Egypt combines a wealth of history with stunning natural landscapes. From the Pyramids at

Giza and the Temple of Karnak at Luxor, to the unique underworld environment of the Red Sea, a focal

point for scuba divers throughout the world, Egypt has something to satisfy every discerning holiday

traveller.

About Egypt

QIEGYPT X The Great Pyramids: 2.5 million blocks of limestone were used to build the pyramids at Giza weighing 6 million tons. The King's chamber at the top covers a modest

area of 5m by 10m, but the roof above it weighs 400 tons!

X Alexander the Great: Following his conquering of Egypt, he established himself in the fishing village of Rakotis on the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt, later to become Alexandria.

X Antony & Cleopatra: The great Queen and last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, Mark Anthony, met following the assassination of Julius Caesar. They fell in love and bore 3 children, however their love ended in suicide; Anthony stabbed himself and Cleopatra gave her hand to the poison of an asp.

X The Rosetta Stone: Carved in 196 bc in three scripts, it was found in 1799 by French soldiers of Napoleon while building a fort in the town of Rosetta (Rashid). After many years of studying the stone, Jean Francois Champollion, who could read both Greek and Coptic, deciphered its hieroglyphs in 1822.

X The Alexandria Library: The Alexandria Library was also a brain centre where east met west. When Julius Caesar, endangered by the revolt, had to swim for his life to the island of pharaohs, he retaliated by firing at the warehouse and palace which damaged the books in the library as it caught fire. This lead to the end of the library which vanished over time.

X The Modern Calendar: The ancient Egyptians also have the distinct honour of having invented not only the modern 365 day calendar, but the leap year system as well.

X Ancient Scripts: The Egyptians invented an early system of writing known as hieroglyphics. They also invented paper on which to place it, made from the fibres of the papyrus plant.

Lake NasserThe largest man-made lake in the world, Lake Nasser was

created as a result of the Aswan High Dam, which was built

across the Nile in the 1960's. The temple at Abu Simbel was

actually moved stone by stone when the Aswan High Dam

was built, as its original home was where the lake now sits. It

was rebuilt in its current location.

aswaNKnown for its beauty and fantastic climate, with palm fringed

islands and dotted with felucca sail boats. Egypt’s southernmost

city is home to the Nubian people, who have their own

language and customs. Aswan is the ideal base to explore

the surrounding sights, such as the Temple of Philae and the

Temples of Ramses II & Nefertari at Abu Simbel.

siNai PeNiNsuLaWhere Moses is said to have received the Ten

Commandments. St Catherine’s Monastery is situated here

and was built around what was said to be the ‘Burning Bush’

that appeared before Moses. Today the Sinai Peninsula is a

diving and snorkelling paradise, ideal for sun seekers, with

its warm sand and pristine clear waters.

The NiLe

The longest river in the world and dotted with Pharaonic

tombs on either side. The Egyptians were the inventors of

the modern day calendar; every year the Nile flooded its

banks for three months, so the Egyptians set their calendars

after it. Moses went to school here and the infant Jesus

was brought to one of its villages to escape Herod’s dictate.

LuxorSitting on the banks of the Nile and the location of Thebes,

the 4000 year old site of the ancient capital of the New

Kingdom. Visiting Luxor is like visiting an open air museum

as it is home to both the Temple of Luxor and the Temple

of Karnak, the largest of the remaining Nile temples. Luxor’s

West Bank also boasts the Valley of the Kings.

aLexaNdriaThe city named after Alexander the Great; it was here Julius

Caesar made a desperate swim to his ship to save himself from

pursuing rebels. Alexandria was also where Cleopatra held

a Banquet for Mark Anthony and fell in love with him and

where Napoleon’s troops discovered the Rosetta Stone,

deciphering Ancient Egypt’s hieroglyphics.

Cairo & GizaThe largest city in Africa, where designer boutiques and five star hotels sit side by side with cloistered souks, bazaars and Mosques. Cairo is a teeming city, both modern and old, a new centre with suburbs 5,000 years old, cream painted houses and yellowed stone pyramids. Its sands hold more history within its gritty folds, and perhaps a lot more wisdom, than has yet been discovered. The pyramids of Egypt, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are the only one of those wonders to survive to the present day. The Great Pyramid at Giza plateau is made up of about 2.5 million stones, each weighing between two and seventy tons. The Sphinx lost its nose in 1798 when Napoleon’s soldiers used it for target practice!

deserTs & oasesThe Western Desert of Egypt covers almost two-thirds of

the country. It starts at the Nile and stretches west to the

border of Libya, south to the border of Sudan and north

to the Mediterranean coast. Visit the Black Desert, formed

and the White desert, with chalk and limestone formations.

CITIES & SIGHTS

DISCOVER EGYPT

— www.mosaichol idays.co.uk —

HOWARD CARTER & TUTANKHAMUNHoward Carter was born in London England in 1874, the son of an artist. Carter's talents in drawing and his interest in Egypt saw him travel to Alexandria at the age of 17. Initially he spent time as a tracer copying ancient drawings and inscriptions on to paper. He quickly moved into archaeology under the guidance of William Flinders Petrie. Soon after he was appointed to the position of Inspector General of Monuments for Upper Egypt for the Egyptian Antiquities Service. Carter spent 5 years supervising the archaeological work around the Upper Nile Valley, including the Thebes area now known as Luxor.

In 1905 an incident involving some drunken French tourists and Carter’s Egyptian site guards occurred. In supporting his guards, Carter was forced to resign from his post. He spent the next 4 years seeking private funding to continue his work and found a position with Lord Carnarvon. Howard Carter became obsessed with locating the tomb of a relatively unknown pharaoh called Tutankhamun. In 1922 Carter was given his final year of funding by Carnarvon, however 3 days into digging, Carter finally discovered Tutankhamun’s lost tomb. Soon after the discovery, Lord Carnarvon died from Pneumonia. Legend surrounding Tutankhamun’s tomb suggests that by 1929 eleven people connected to the discovery had died, prompting stories of a curse.

ASWAN HIGH DAM & ABU SIMBELSince the ancient Egyptians, it was recorded that in summer the Nile would flood its banks. It was so consistent that they created a calendar around the event, which became the precursor of the modern calendar. As the population grew, the government sought to control the annual floods in order to provide consistent farming land and to create hydro-electricity by constructing the Aswan High Dam. Constructed in the 1960's, the dam was to create a reservoir of water that would become Lake

Nasser, the world’s largest man-made lake.

The impact on the area caused great challenges. Ancient temples and 90,000 Nubians called this area home. The international community began proposing solutions to save the greatest temple, Abu Simbel, built as a tribute to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah. It is believed that the axis of the temple was positioned by ancient architects so that on October and February 21st, the sun’s rays would illuminate the sculptures on the back wall. It was decided that the temple would be cut into large segments, lifted and relocated to its current position. The temple was positioned in its new home so that the sun’s rays would still light the back walls on October and February 21st. Today Abu Simbel temple is one of the most visited of Egypt’s temples.

And So The Story Goes

The Red Sea is a focal point for the diving community, with its beautiful reef life and

corals, in addition to the numerous species of fish. It boasts some of the world’s most

famous dive sites, such as Ras Mohammed, the Thistlegorm wreck and the Straits of

Tiran and Abu Nuhas Reef. As a result, the resorts of the Red Sea are excellent places to

learn to dive. Sharm El Sheikh it’s the most established resort. However Hurghada, Dahab

and El Gouna offer tremendous diving opportunities in quieter locations.

DIVING

The practice of travelling to hot or cold springs, in the hope of effecting a cure of some

ailment, dates back to Ancient times and was ritually practised by both the Egyptians

and Romans. If you are looking for a spa holiday or a luxury spa resort, then Egypt is the

ideal destination. With year-round resorts and mild winters, you can pamper yourself

whenever you choose. Enjoy massage, aromatherapy, mud baths, sauna, steam baths,

body wraps and facials. There is no lack of pampering options for spa breaks in Egypt.

Spa

A spectacular way to enjoy the immense beauty of The Nile and sights of Luxor is to take

a Hot Air Balloon flight across the ancient landscape. This is a unique and unforgettable

experience, drifting peacefully over the West Bank of Luxor, seeing the ancient monuments

of Thebes and enjoy the panorama of Luxor with the Nile River punctuating the horizon. All

flights operate on a 'weather permitting basis' and are scheduled for the early morning to

take advantage of the gentle winds and dawn light. An unforgettable experience.

balloons over luxor

Golf on the Red Sea is rapidly growing in popularity as golfers look for new and

challenging courses in year-round warm weather. Egypt offers great golf for both high

and low handicappers, along with beautiful scenery and sensational views of the Red

Sea and desert mountains. Located in fabulous holiday resorts (such as the Steigenberger

Golf Resort El Gouna, Maritim Jolie Ville Golf and La Residence Des Cascades Soma Bay),

these golf courses cater for the occasional round as well as competitions and groups.

dEsErt & oAsisSpirit of Adventure

Isolated throughout its history from the progress by the Nile, Siwa has developed

independently, with its own language and tribal culture. It was only with the building of

a road linking the North coast in the 1980’s that Siwa appeared on the tourist map. Today,

Siwa still represents one of the world’s last remaining pristine oases, with lush date palms

and olive trees watered by one of the 230 natural springs and streams.

The heart of Siwa lies in a small market, flanked by the remains of a 13th century mud

enclave. The original settlement was surrounded by high walls to protect them from

marauding Bedouins; the walls were up to 5 storyes high. However, days of freak rain

in the 1920’s dissolved the salt in the mud and the buildings literally melted, leaving the

ancient town looking like a scene from a painting by Salvador Dali.

Historically, Siwa is famed as the location of the Oracle of Ammon, whom Alexander the

Great consulted before continuing his Persian conquest, in existence today much as it

always has been, boasting majestic rock formations, lush groves and brilliant salt lakes

throughout the oasis. Culturally, Siwa possesses a unique heritage rich in indigenous

traditions and customs. Descendents of the Berbers, many being Siwan families, have

distant relatives in the Libyan part of the Desert.

Desert Adventures: Explore the great Western Desert. Take a safari ride through the

endless hills of the Great Sand Sea, enjoying a cup of tea at the top of a sand dune, whilst

watching the sun gently set. Discover marine fossils, embedded in the sand and rock from

the Tethys Sea some 40 to 50 million years ago.

Salt Lakes: Siwa has several magnificent salt lakes, the largest being the famous lake of

Al Zaytun, which extends for more than 25 km from the mountain of Dakrur. Sheyata is

another spectacularly tranquil salt lake in the desert, 35 km southwest of Siwa. Gentle

sand banks, lightly shaded by palm trees, make an ideal spot to unwind and while-away an

afternoon. Fresh Water Springs of Siwa – Cleopatra’s Bath: Ancient visitors to the Temple

of Amon were said to have stopped to marvel at Cleopatra’s Bath. Have a dip in this

famous natural spring and imagine that two and a half thousand years ago, Herodotus did

just the same. Abou Sherouf: Embraced in the cool shade of surrounding palm trees, the

spring is one of the largest natural pools in the oasis, which also offers a separate, smaller

hot spring bubbling nearby. Ein Fatnas: A hot sulphur spring, said to be therapeutic, is

about 70 km south of Siwa. Siwan Artisanship: Siwan culture boasts a variety of traditional

arts and crafts, such as silver jewellery, colourful woven baskets and embroidered and

beaded garments and accessories. The Siwa area has long been celebrated for its prized

exquisitely embroidered garments and stunning silver jewellery.

siwA oAsis

X Swim in a salt lake with a similar sensation to the Dead Sea, it’s so salty that it’s almost impossible to submerge.

X Take a dip in the natural springs, swimming in the middle of the Sahara’s sand dunes is an experience you’re unlikely to forget.

X Desert Adventure: Sand dunes and Sunsets.

Bahariya Oasis (4hrs away from Cairo)

Bahariya, the closest oasis to Cairo is most famous for the Black Desert and the Golden

Mummies. The oasis itself is surrounded by desert dunes, mountain walks, palm

plantations, hot springs and peaceful accommodation. There are historical remains from

the Middle Kingdom and 2 museums near the modern centre of Bawati.

Farafra Oasis

Farafra is a remote and quiet town that feels very traditional and peaceful. It is the smallest

and most isolated of the oases in the Western Desert and connects all of the Western Desert

region together. The town lies on the edge of the White Desert, an unearthly landscape of

luminescent chalk formations sculpted by the wind into the shapes of minarets, animals

and mushrooms. The drive to the oasis passes by the Crystal Mountain. This small hill of

calcite has a flower-like growth of crystal formations around the small arch in the centre

The glittering calcite crystal and the natural arch make it an obligatory photo stop enroute.

wEstErn dEsErtSet in a depression covering over 2,000 km2, Bahariya Oasis is surrounded by black hills made up of quartzite and dolerite. Most of the villages and cultivated land can be viewed from the top of the 50m high Jebel Al-Mi’ysrah, together with the massive sand dunes, which threaten to engulf some of the older settlements. The Oasis was a major agricultural centre during the Pharaonic era, and has been famous for its wine as far back as the Middle Kingdom (2055 BC-1650BC).

X Sleeper Train Cairo - Cairo Luxor or Aswan

Add a touch of adventure to your travels and instead of flying from Cairo to Luxor

or Aswan take the overnight sleeper train. Trains have sleeper cabins and leave

Dakhla Oasis

The Dakhla Oasis consists of a cluster of 15 small settlements surrounded by pink cliffs

and is considered to be one of the most attractive of the western Oases, retaining most

of its culture and charm. Stretches of lush groves of dates, olives and oranges are flanked

by great white dunes. Al Qasr was originally a Roman settlement, which later became the

capital of Dakhla. The old town is a labyrinth of mud-walled alleys, narrowly separating

houses with elaborately carved wooden lintels.

Kharga Oasis

Also known as Al-Kharija (the Outer Oasis), Kharga lies on the route of the Darb al-Arbein,

(the 40 days road), which runs from Sudan to Middle Egypt. It is the largest of the Western

Desert oases and the furthest from Cairo. The Ancient Egyptians knew it as the ‘Oasis of

Thebes’. Surrounded by mountains and long rows of sand dunes, there are a number of

passes leading into the oasis which have been used by travellers through the ages, leaving

some of the most impressive archaeological remains to explore.

X Try to see Kom Ombo Temple at night. All lit up, it certainly makes for a sumptuous sight.

X If you overnight at Edfu, catch the new Sound & light show, which has had great reviews.

X Cruising down the Nile is about watching the life on the river, it’s people, the lush surroundings and the wildlife.

X Carry Egyptian pounds in change for all sorts of things including the toilets.

X Bring a bottle or two of water ( they can charge a fortune for water), hat, sun cream and wear comfortable sturdy shoes.

LuxorSitting in the heart of the Nile Valley, this modern city is the perfect base to explore the sacred Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens.

EdfuEnjoy Cleopatra VII’s completely preserved Temple of Horus and take a stroll around the ancient settlement of Tell Edfu and its small provincial pyramid.

Kom OmboThe Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique double temple, with two symmetrical sides. One half dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the other dedicated to the falcon god, Horus.

Philae TempleSaid to be one of the burial places of Osiris, this sacred temple also served as a centre of commerce and trading between the ancient Nubians and Egyptians.

AswanThought to be Egypt’s first city, Aswan is famous for the granite rock used to build ancient monuments throughout Egypt including the great pyramids.

Most seven night cruises travel from either Aswan or Luxor and return to their starting

point and on occasions the itinerary stops at the same sites, so please check the

full itinerary carefully. Nile cruising is not like conventional ocean cruising, with the

distance covered between Aswan and Luxor being only 240km. The boats provide

a comfortable and scenic base from which to explore the historic sites. Sightseeing

tends to be early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds of the day and can

also mean strenuous walking. A lack of proper docking facilities in places may require

disembarkation on planks, over rocks and up steep inclines.

Important Note: Low water levels on the Nile due to the closure of the Esna Lock and delays at the locks can, on occasion, change the itinerary. Often at short notice - The lock at Esna is scheduled to close for approximately two weeks in early December and for the month of June every year. Please contact our consultants for further information.

The Red Sea is a focal point for the diving community, with its beautiful reef life and corals,

in addition to the numerous species of fish to be seen. It also boasts some of the world’s

most famous dive sites, such as Ras Mohammed, the wreck of the Thistlegorm, the Straits

of Tiran and Abu Nuhas Reef, all of which are located in one small area of the Red Sea.

As a result, the resorts of the Red Sea are excellent places to learn to dive.

The hub of the dive industry is centred on the northern reaches of Egypt, of which Sharm

El Sheikh its the most established resort. However Hurghada, Dahab and El Gouna offer

tremendous diving opportunities in quieter locations. These resort towns now offer divers

X Camel Roof Terrace, chilled out with easy tunes, big cushions and good shisha and decent snack type food.

X All Soho Square bars, too many to mention but Mandarin Bar very good.

X Exchange rates for Egyptian pounds can be much better in Egypt than in the UK.

X Most excursions and trips are charged in hard currency (U$ Dollars, Sterling or Euros).

X Sunrise at Mount Sinai, where Moses is said to have received the 10 commandments; an amazing opportunity to see the sunrise and take in the amazing scenery.

X Haggle when buying anything. Offer half the asking price to start. If you are being hassled on the streets by vendors, a polite but firm “la shukran” (“no thank you”) goes a long way!

X Remember when booking your diving that you need to leave at least 24hrs between last dive and flying. Climbing Mount Sinai is also not a good idea soon after finishing a dive.

St. Catherine's Monastery & DahabVisit one of the oldest monasteries in the world, occupied by Greek Orthodox Monks to this day. Visit the site where Moses spoke to God at the Chapel of the Burning Bush. Take lunch before exploring the many shops of Dahab.

X If you like sea food, there are many restaurants to choose from, however, we recommend the ‘Star Fish’ restaurant also located at Sheraton street.

X Try the local cuisine in “Tamr Henna” Coffee Shop & Restaurant at El Gouna Down-Town.

X Go shopping at Kafr El Gouna - also known as ‘Down-Town’ and visit the promenade of the Abu Tig Marina.

ACCOMMODATION/HOTELUnless otherwise stated, accommodation is in standard twin/double rooms though bed configuration cannot be guaranteed. Specific room requirements cannot be guaranteed as the allocation is at the discretion of the hotel proprietor. Rooms are generally available between noon and 3pm, and are to be vacated between 10am and noon, irrespective of arrival or departure times. Day rooms are subject to availability and an extra cost may be charged. A triple room is usually a twin/double room, with an additional bed or folding pull out design, hence conditions may be cramped. The standard and location of single rooms is not always as good as twin/double rooms (even if a twin/double is booked for sole occupancy). A supplement is payable whether the room allocated is a single or a twin room. On excursions and tours single rooms cannot be guaranteed during peak periods, and you may be asked to share a room with another guest of the same sex. In such an instance the single supplement will be refunded for the appropriate duration. In some destinations, be prepared to encounter insects (e.g. cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, etc.) in your hotel room, especially at beach resorts where they are a natural occurrence and do not reflect the standard of hygiene and cleanliness. ‘Sea view’ - means the sea can be seen from your room but may be at an angle or partial. Full sea view or sea front view means a more extensive sea view, but still may have courtyard gardens, trees, pool or such like in the view. The name of a room is not a description and may bear no reference to the description. Please note, all accommodation listed in this brochure and on our website have an introduction which are in bullet points, this is an opinion of the accommodation by Mosaic Holidays and not a fact. Pictures of either the brochure or website may not represent the room allocated. Please note that care must be taken at night as resort/hotel grounds paths may not be illuminated. With reference to pools, jacuzzis, courtyards or such unless specifically stated as private they may be shared. Dining in certain resorts/cruise ships may mean shared and/or preassigned tables. Children sharing a room with adults are based on existing bedding (rollaway beds and/or additional bedding may incur a charge. Early arrival and late departures in certain hotels may incur a mandatory extra night charge. Minibar may not be stocked. Facilities can be temporarily unavailable due to ongoing maintenance and repairs. The beach can also be effected by inclement weather, which may lead to erosion and, combined with the sea state, may represent a danger. Unless specifically shown as ‘Free’, you may have to pay locally for facilities or services used.

ALCOHOLRestrictions on the consumption of alcohol may be imposed with little or no notice by the relevant authorities.

AIRPORT TAXESUK Air Passenger Duty (currently £40 per person to non-EU destinations) and all UK Airport departure Taxes are included in your holiday price. Foreign departure taxes vary from destination to destination and may have to be paid locally, by the client, on departure. You may have to pay hard currency e.g. pounds sterling or American dollars. This charge may vary depending on the destination or carrier. Where we are aware of the costs prior to your departure, we will advise you.

BAGGAGEFrom the check-in point, your personal effects and baggage are the responsibility of the carrier until recovery at your destination airport. In any circumstance whereby there is mislaid or lost luggage, to obtain any compensation you must complete a ‘Property Irregularity Report’ before you leave the airport, with a representative of the airline within the time limits specified on your air tickets. Please note, luggage allowances will be shown on your air ticket and that infants do not get a baggage allowance. On international flights the allowance is usually 20kg (15kg on some charter flights). Airlines normally only allow one small piece of cabin baggage (5kg - dimensions 45cm x 35cm x 20cm) and this may be included in your total weight allowance. The total allowance on some local flights using light aircraft may be restricted to 5kg. No individual item of luggage should exceed 32kg (may be reduced and can vary from carrier). Please note that luggage rules and regulations are changing and individual carriers have different regulations. Please check with your individual carrier just prior to flying for the most up-to-date regulations. Excess baggage is carried at the airlines discretion and you may incur charges payable directly to the airline. During transfers please ensure your belongings are loaded on to the correct transfer vehicle, this is not the responsibility of Mosaic Holidays. Please see Dive notes for luggage allowances on dive equipment. Please ask the relevant airline for the latest allowances for all baggages.

BROCHURE ACCURACYEvery care has been taken to ensure that the facts on all Mosaic publications are accurate at the time of printing. Please check with your agent or Mosaic prior to booking for any changes. The description of facilities at a hotel or tour itineraries and excursions are those that are normally available, unless otherwise specified as being ‘FREE’, a charge will be a made. Please bear in mind those hoteliers, restaurateurs and nightclub owners may wish to maintain /improve their facilities, which may be temporarily or permanently closed for maintenance or during periods of low occupancy. There may be changes to flight times, cruises, tours, excursions as advertised in the brochure and your itinerary as a result of local conditions. Cruise ships/boats may change without notice to those of a similar standard or facilities. Such changes are beyond our control, but when we are advised of any significant or long term changes prior to your departure we will try to notify you as soon as is reasonably possible and time permitting. Should any such events occur during the course of the journey, our local agents will do their best to rectify the matter on the spot. However we reserve the right to make minor changes to the scheduled programme without becoming liable to you for any refund or compensation.

BROCHURE PRICEIt is possible that some of the prices contained in this brochure may have changed since the brochure was printed. You will be informed of any relevant price changes at the time of booking. Prices shown in this brochure, which make up the inclusive cost quoted on our final invoice, are based on special contract rates. See condition 2 of Booking Conditions for pricing policy. Mosaic Holidays Ltd has no control or jurisdiction over prices that may be charged at destinations for the same or similar services and accepts no responsibility or liability if these differ from those herein.

COMPLAINTS WHILST ON HOLIDAY If you have a complaint about any element of your holiday, please see our local agents or the hotelier immediately. Matters can often be more easily sorted out whilst you are in the resort. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved locally, please contact our head office in London. (See booking conditions)

CONDUCTWe would like to remind you that we reserve the right to decline, accept or retain any person as a client at any time, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred as a result of our doing so. In our absolute discretion we reserve the right to terminate without notice the holiday arrangements of any client whose behaviour is such that it is likely in our opinion to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to our customers, employees, agent’s, property or third parties. Mosaic has no control over the behaviour of other persons staying or visiting your holiday accommodation or town. (See Booking Conditions)

CHILD REDUCTIONSFor your family holiday Mosaic offers child reductions. Child reductions apply to children 11 years old and under on the date of travel, when sharing a room with two adults. Sleeping arrangements vary in each resort, in some hotels children must share existing beds; in others foldaway beds will be provided. Apartment costs to be based on number of adults in party: child costs as detailed plus seasonal departure and flight supplements as appropriate. For children occupying their own room or where no reduction is shown, please ask for more details. Reductions are not applicable on meal supplements or seasonal departure supplements. Infants who reach the age of 2 years whilst on holiday will be considered to be children, if under 2 years, you must pay a small charge for their flight but are not provided with a seat or any baggage allowance. Any charges for cots, meals and local taxes are payable locally. All prices quoted will have to be rechecked at the time of booking as availability in the class may have changed and higher costing in the class may have to be used.

CLIMATE TABLESClimate tables are a guide only. Mosaic Holidays cannot accept responsibility for the weather during your holiday.

CURRENCY & EXCHANGESome countries have restrictions on the importation and exportation of local currency, therefore please check with the relevant Embassy or High Commission. Never exchange money on the black market. Even though some Hotels and boats have exchange facilities, excess demand may result in delays and shortage of currency. Services paid for by credit card will be subject to the applicable rate of exchange given at the time the voucher is presented to the credit card company, and may differ from the rate prevailing on the date that the service was provided. Local banks and vendors may add an extra charge for using credit cards. Please ensure you have sufficient monies to cover all expenses, as we are unable to help in the eventuality of insufficient funds in resort.

DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)Sometimes referred to as Economy Class Syndrome, DVT is a condition which has the potential to affect all travellers regardless of mode of transport and class of travel. If you are concerned about travelling, then you are advised to contact your GP before you depart.

ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLYUnfortunately the facts are that in many underdeveloped countries in the world with high tourist demands on local supplies of electricity or water, there may be times when these elements exceed the supply, resulting in power cuts, water shortages and plumbing or drainage problems. During these times the air-conditioning units, hot/cold water taps, room lighting or mini-bars may be affected. Whilst electrical wiring standards do always meet local safety standards, on occasion they may be lower than those applicable in the UK.

EXCURSIONS Excursion prices listed in the Mosaic brochure may vary from the listed price in resort; please confirm all prices at the time of booking. Also, any trips booked and paid for in advance are subject to our booking conditions/or cancellations. Should you wish to book excursions at your resort operated by local agents, refunds cannot be claimed from ourselves once you have returned to the UK and they do not form part of the package holiday being purchased from us. It should also be noted that some types of travel insurance do not cover claims arising from excursions/tours purchased in resort in particular cancellation of such tours and losses suffered as a result of partaking in hazardous activities for which an additional premium was not paid. We advise you check the conditions of your insurance policies. Mosaic can only accept responsibility for excursions that are pre-booked and pre-paid in the UK Please note: most excursions in resort are charged in hard currency (sterling or U$ dollars). As a responsible tour operator we take care in choosing the suppliers of excursions but there are some excursions, such as diving for example, where it is impossible to remove all risks. Only you can decide whether you wish to take that risk, however small, and we are happy to offer advice before you make your decision. Please ensure if you chose to take part in any form of adventure activity that you have checked that your policy of insurance covers the proposed activity and made all necessary disclosures to your insurers.

FLIGHT SECURITYPlease make sure to carry sharp objects and any electrical equipment such as radios and hairdryers in your main luggage because you will be asked at check-in about any such equipment. Please avoid leaving your luggage unattended and do not accept parcels from strangers. Please ask the relevant airline for the latest information before travelling.

FLIGHTS AND FLIGHT CARRIERSThe airline planned to be used on the long haul sectors of your holiday are shown for your guidance on the price panel relating to your holiday. On some holidays and tours other carriers are also used to complete your holiday flying requirements. Actual flight numbers are not known at the time of publication. We reserve the right to substitute alternative carriers and/or aircraft types if necessary. Where the situation arises, it is not possible to transfer to another holiday or cancel without incurring normal cancellation charges. Because of the distances involved, many flights stop en route for technical reasons e.g. refuelling. As scheduled airlines often change routes and fuel stops, we cannot always notify you in advance. It may also be necessary on some holidays for you to change aircraft, and sometimes airline at one of the stops. Airline schedules may vary and an unexpected change of aircraft may become necessary. We will do our best to inform you of any changes before your departure and all planned plane changes will be indicated on your tickets. Please bear this in mind if you are booking domestic flight connections, taxis etc independently. If you are booking your own UK domestic flights, please leave sufficient time to take into account the possibility of delays to either your domestic or international flights. We strongly recommend that you purchase a flexible ticket for your domestic flights as, although initially more expensive, the extra cost is more than worth it in the event of a time change or delay. Delays for whatever reason are the responsibility of the airline and subject to their conditions of contract. Where a delay results in lost holiday time, no refunds are given by hotels for unused accommodation or meals since these are held until your arrival and not re-sold. Similarly, airlines do not always offer compensation for flight delays and will not alter your homeward flight to account for any lost holiday resulting form out bound flight delays. We cannot accept any loss arising out of: a) missed connections to international flights; b) the cancellation/change of UK/EC domestic flights unless they are part of the package booked by us. If you miss your outbound scheduled flight, please notify the airline as soon as possible in order to ensure that your homeward flight is not affected. We reserve the right to change flight supplements form time to time. Supplements can go up or down. The supplement when you book will not exceed any applicable supplements stated within this brochure by more than £200. Please check the up-to-date supplement for your chosen holiday with your travel agent or Mosaic reservations staff before you book. The flight times shown in the Mosaic supplement/brochure are for guidance only, and are subject to confirmation and alteration. Specific instructions relating to your departure and travel arrangements will be sent with your tickets. Where domestic flights form part of an itinerary, every effort will be made to ensure the best connection, but local circumstances may mean departures are earlier or later than anticipated. It is for this reason that times are not specified in the itinerary. A direct flight is one where you do not have to change planes; it does not mean it is non-stop. Please note that due to airline policy certain flights may be non-smoking or do not serve alcohol. We cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for any consequential costs arising out of missed connections to outbound and inbound international flights, unless they are part of a pre-booked package with us. Charter Flights offer tremendous value for money, however in many cases the seat pitch (leg room) is less than that of scheduled flights and some therefore may be less comfortable. All monies paid by you for both our chartered and scheduled flights are fully protected by our Civil Aviation Authority bond, No. 5236. Our CAA ATOL bond also covers all flights. As is usual, bookings for holidays by charter flights which are advertised in the Mosaic brochure and supplement are accepted subject to granting of licenses by the Civil Aviation Authority.

FORCE MAJEUREWe regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligation is prevented or affected by ‘force majeure’. In the Booking Conditions ‘force Majeure’ means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activities, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure or congestion schedules by scheduled airlines and all similar events outside our control.

GENERAL BOOKING CONDITIONSThese booking conditions contain some exclusions and limitations of liability . If any part of the conditions proves to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the conditions will remain valid. This agreement will be governed by the relevant law wherever you live in the UK.

HEALTH, SAFETY & SECURITY ABROADSome countries do not conform to British Health and Safety Standards. The applicable safety standards regulations which apply overseas are those of the country concerned, and as result, general standards of safety, hygiene, fire precautions etc. can be lower than we take for granted in the UK. Upset stomachs are a common occurrence whilst visiting new countries with different climates. Sensible precautions need to be taken, especially with regard to raw food and ice in drinks. If you are prone to illness please ensure that you carry enough medication, as some medicines may be unavailable locally. Some countries are subject to political and economic instability. Crime occurs throughout the world, to reduce the risk of theft or mugging please be extra vigilant when visiting strange countries. Do not leave valuables unattended and where possible store them in a safe place. Always respect local customs and standards, especially in areas of cultural and religious importance, as this may offend locals. In rapidly developing resorts there are many deserted beaches and most pools and beaches are not supervised. We recommend you familiarise yourself with pool depths and the layout of pool before entering it. Please exercise caution before entering the sea as the sea bed is not even and changes in depth.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

— Reservations: 020 8574 4000 — 85

Children must be supervised by you at all times near water or in unfamiliar buildings or surroundings. We insist you exercise caution as these are unfamiliar surroundings. Please check emergency instructions on arrival. Mosaic cannot take responsibility for the safety and conditions of beaches.

HOLIDAY DURATIONHoliday duration is always referred as number of nights at holiday accommodation. With respect to night flights, access to your room will be available upon arrival thus constituting your first night. Certain hotels (particularly all inclusive) may charge an additional night for early arrivals/late departures or request you leave the property.

HOTEL FACILITIESCertain amenities and services may incur a discretionary charge payable locally, such as health club facilities, spa treatments, sun bed time, towels, kids club, baby sitting, watersports and others. Please contact reservations for further information. Please note that in accommodation descriptions, we have mentioned Kids Clubs and the pertinent age group, we have no control on this and the hotel can change this with little or no notice. Spas, dive centres and facilities managed by outside contractors can change services, prices and timings with little or no notice.

REQUEST OF HOLIDAY AND FLIGHT CHANGESRequests of flight or accommodation changes are subject to availability when made in resort, and all payments must be made locally. Should you decide to change your accommodation to another featured in our brochure, please note that room rates can not be guaranteed at our brochure rate and you may be charged at a local rate. ‘Disinclination’ to travel will be deemed to be a cancellation of the service, and the normal cancellation charges will apply.

INSURANCE (do not travel without insurance)Unfortunately, even the best laid plans can go wrong and accidents may happen both here and abroad, which makes it imperative that all passengers have adequate travel insurance cover. If you do not purchase our insurance, we insist that you take insurance with equivalent cover and we must be advised in writing of the policy, name and number. In the event that you are not adequately insured, it will be deemed that you indemnify Mosaic for any delays in contacting your insurers on your behalf in the event of any emergency. Should you accept cover offered by credit card companies, please ensure that it covers all aspects of necessary insurance, including that for healthcare abroad. Please read your policy details carefully. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs. You will need extra cover for dangerous activities e.g. diving, paragliding etc. We do not check alternative insurance policies.

MEALSThe standard of meals and services at hotels varies enormously depending on the style of the hotel and local characteristics. If you have booked half board, this is defined as breakfast and dinner. Depending on the flight times to your resort or tour, those who have booked meals may lose one due to the time of arrival at, or departure from, their hotel. In these cases, we have calculated the basic holiday price to allow for this. Where meals are described as basic or simple, please expect just that in all aspects, including preparation, quality and quantity, and service. Vegetarian meals may be limited. Breakfast will be continental style and often buffet style unless otherwise stated. Lunch and dinner when included will be a set menu or buffet style and it is not usual for hotels to allow you to substitute lunch for dinner when booking half board. Dine around half board in most cases means dinner will be served buffet style in the main restaurant or a set menu or partial credit will be offered in other restaurants in the hotel (please note - partial credit is only a part of the payment made for meal supplement in the UK). Not all restaurants in the hotel will be covered by Dinearound (e.g. speciality restaurants). Meal packages which are offered in this brochure are not always cheaper than buying the same arrangements locally. It is often the case that these packages are offered for the convenience of being both booked and paid for in the UK In our accommodation descriptions in the brochure and on our website, under dining, we list restaurant names and descriptions. Please note that we have no jurisdiction on hotel restaurants and on their names, and that the menus and names can change with little or no notice.

ALL INCLUSIVE INFORMATIONAll inclusive holidays offer every opportunity for relaxing, taking part in sports and games and generally enjoying yourself. However some simple rules will help you in achieving this aim. When you arrive at your hotel you are likely to be provided with some form of identification ( it maybe a card or bracelet etc), which will have to be shown when ordering drinks, meals and other facilities. Ensure you take care of this as a penalty is likely to be imposed if lost. Having drinks freely available throughout the day can be a temptation to over indulge. Please therefore consider your fellow guests (and your own health!) while also bearing in mind that local managements have every right to refuse service to guests that are believed to be intoxicated or under age (in accordance with local law). Please note: in most all-inclusive hotels there are a selection of services, facilities and some food and beverages that will incur charges. The inclusive packages information is for guidance only. Timings, services, facilities and food and beverages may change. Most inclusive packages restrict drinking times, meal and snack times, room service and bottled water and may exclude stocked miniatures. Please check with reservations for the most up-to-date information.

MINIMUM NUMBERSTours and excursions listed in our brochure are subject to minimum numbers, and may be cancelled in the event that this is not met. You will then have the choice of booking an alternative holiday or brochured excursion with us, if the alternative is at additional cost the difference will be payable by you, or have a refund of monies paid. See conditions 3 & 4 of Booking Conditions.

OVERSEAS STANDARDSMany of our destinations are developing nations, in terms of their tourism industry, economically and the general infrastructure of the country. Facilities such as hotels, restaurants and transport may not be up to the standard that you have come to expect in other, more developed parts of the world. While we endeavour to provide you with all of the facilities required to enjoy your holiday to the fullest, we cannot be held responsible for elements and situations that are beyond our control. This can range from power shortages to badly constructed roads. When embraced, these can add to the attraction of the destination and to the adventure of travel.

PREGNANCYAirline regulations do vary, but many airlines will refuse permission to fly women who will be 28 weeks or more in to their pregnancy on the date of their return travel, unless you have a note from your doctor then you may fly up to 36 weeks into pregnancy. If in doubt, check with the airline concerned, and in any event do obtain clearance to fly from your doctor. Failure of compliance of regulation may result in cancellation and denial of boarding the aircraft. In such an event we cannot be held liable.

RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS & RELIGIOUS PRACTICESPlease note that services may be curtailed or limited during public holidays, and that during certain religious holidays can be called at little or no prior notice. Please note that in Muslim counties prayer calls are normal and maybe audible, 5 times a day essentially at dawn and night. These and other religious rites are naturally outside our purview or control.

LOCAL REPRESENTATIVESSince we specialise in individual and not group travel, we do not have UK representatives in each resort. However, we work closely with a number of local agents who can provide further assistance. Alternatively, you will find that your hotel reception will be able to help you with any local enquiries and make bookings for excursions and restaurants. In the unlikely event of any difficulty, please ask your hotel to ring us immediately, so that we can try and resolve it at the time.

RESORT DEVELOPMENT Numerous hotels and resorts are continuing to develop rapidly, many with little or no advance warning. We have no control over building work arising from a resort’s growth and we are unable to anticipate the speed or extent which such development may occur. If we learn of specific developments at or close to your accommodation and likely to affect the enjoyment of your holiday, we will do our best to contact you before departure. If this should interfere with the enjoyment of your holiday in resort you should contact our agents, who will try to solve the problem.

SPECIAL NEEDSWe appreciate that clients with special needs have specific requirements that must be met to ensure a successful holiday. Please ask for our Special Needs form before making your booking, in order that we can assess your personal requirements. We will do our best to find a holiday to suit you, but we may not be able to meet your specific requirements.

SPECIAL REQUESTSIf you have any special requests (such as vegetarian meals, airline seats, specific floors in a hotel) you must advise Mosaic Holidays of these at the time of booking. We shall do our best to advise the relevant suppliers, but we cannot guarantee that they will be provided. Any failure to meet special requests will not be deemed a breach of contract on our part. We regret we cannot accept any booking which is conditional upon fulfilment of a particular request.

TICKETS & TIMESHaving received your full payment you will be sent your tickets and other documentation approximately two weeks prior to departure and a charge may be levied. However in the case of payment and/or late bookings, tickets may be handed over at the airport on departure and TOD charges may apply. Check the flight times carefully as they may have been adjusted since your confirmation invoice was issued. Your itinerary will be sent with your tickets. Please note once issued, tickets are non-transferable, non-changeable and non-refundable, therefore please check all details on the tickets are correct, including names and initials. Please check all your documentation carefully and check tickets, as they must be exactly as the name appears on the passport. Replacement tickets may incur charges. Should tickets be lost, replacement tickets may incur charges. Scheduled carriers may request new tickets to be purchased and indemnity forms filled out, which may be refunded 6 months to one year after the departure date.

UNUSED SERVICESKindly note that refunds are not available for services and accommodation provided but not utilised.

VISAS & PASSPORTSVisa information in this brochure is provided for British passport holders who are citizens of the United Kingdom, and is a guide only. Requirements and regulations are subject to change at short notice. Please check with the relevant embassy or consulate for the most up to date information. Non-UK passport holders should contact the relevant embassy or consulate for visa details. Invalid travel documents may result in the curtailment or termination or arrangements. Mosaic Holidays cannot accept liability in these circumstances. All children and infants travelling must be in possession of their own passport.

DATA PROTECTIONIn order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements we and your travel agent need to use the information you provide such as name, address, any special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, insurers, transport companies, public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them or as requited by law. Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not, however, pass any information onto any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements (If we cannot pass this to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons/bodies). Where information is also held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agent’s own data protection policy. You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us. If you would like to see this please contact us. We may make a small charge for providing this to you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION




TERMS & CONDITIONS

— Reservations: 020 8574 4000 — 87

1. YOUR HOLIDAY CONTRACTWhen you ask us, or your travel agent to book your holiday, you must accept and confirm that you have read our booking conditions, important information and our description of your holiday. If we are able to offer the holiday you request, we will advise you of the up to date price and once confirmed, a contract will exist. For package holidays, you contract will be with ourselves, Mosaic Holidays Ltd but if you choose to purchase a single element, such as a flight or accommodation on its own, we will be acting simply as an agent of the supplier and your contract will be with them. In that case, clauses 7 and 8 of our ‘Commitment To You’ will not apply and you can ask to see the specific terms of business of the supplier themselves. In this case our only obligation is to take reasonable care in making the reservations as requested by you. All contracts are subject to the law of England and Wales and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may choose to submit to those jurisdictions instead.

2. PAYMENT FOR THE HOLIDAYWhen you book you are required to pay a deposit of £150 per person (maybe higher at peak periods, or if an element of your holiday is non-changeable and non-transferable. You will be advised at time of booking) and the correct insurance premium (please see note under cancellation charges). You are not required to make any further payments until 10 weeks before departure. At 10 weeks before departure you are required to pay the balance due in full. For holidays to be taken within 10 weeks of booking, the full amount is due, not a deposit. If you do not pay the full amount due, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled. There is no contract between us until a written confirmation has been sent to you. All monies paid directly to Mosaic Holidays can be authorised to us immediately by giving details of a valid card or subsequently by cheque, which will have to be cleared before confirmation can be issued. The receipt of this amount will be deemed as your acceptance of the booking conditions, and after the payment has been made and cleared, a written confirmation containing the details of your holiday will be issued. There is no contract between us until payment has been made and a written confirmation issued, except for late bookings when a contract will exist when you ask for the holiday to be confirmed. You must check your confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it. For all payments made directly with us with a credit card, a percentage fee is levied on total charges which will be confirmed at the time of booking.

3. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKINGIf you want to change any details of your booking (e.g. transfer to a different comparable Mosaic Holidays’ holiday, which must be taken within a reasonable time, departure date, airport, change or cancel a pre-departure special offer or excursion), we will do our best to effect this change. For this service, we charge an Amendment Fee of £100 per person plus any non-refundable costs arising from the contract terms of our suppliers. However, if the change occurs within 70 days of the departure, the cancellation charges shown in paragraph 4 will apply. When the price varies depending on the number of persons booked into the accommodation and you wish to change the number of persons, the price will be recharged on the basis of the new party size as shown in the price panel. Any increase in price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation is not a Cancellation Charge. A separate Cancellation Charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4. A new confirmation invoice will be issued as appropriate, on which the Cancellation Charges will be shown.

4. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAYOnce your holiday has been confirmed, you or any member of your party may cancel all or part of your booking. However, the cancellation will only be valid if all details are confirmed in writing and signed by the person who made the booking. Your written instructions should either go to the travel agent you booked with, asking him to notify us immediately, or, if you booked direct, to Mosaic Holidays. We will charge you a cancellation fee on the scales shown below. This is to compensate us for the expense of processing your booking and for the risk that we may not be able to resell the holiday. The amount payable (by whoever confirmed the booking) depends on when we received your written instructions. The more notice given the smaller the charge. If the reason for cancellation is covered by your insurance policy, you should be able to make a claim.

Period before scheduled departure within which Amount of cancellation charge (shown as a % of total written instructions are received by Mosaic Holidays: holiday price, excluding insurance premium):

More than 70 days Deposit 43-70 days 30%, or deposit if greater 20-42 days 70%, or deposit if greater 10-19 days 90% 0-9 100%

In certain cases, the carrier or hotelier may apply a higher cancellation charge or charge the appropriate single supplement, which we reserve the right to pass on. Please enquire at the time of cancellation.

5. TRANSFER OF BOOKINGIf any member of your party is unable to travel as a result of injury, death or sickness of the passenger, close relative or friend, jury service or redundancy, you may transfer the booking to another suitable person, providing that notices is given in writing at least 35 days before departure and providing that the alternative passenger is acceptable to Mosaic Holidays. An administrative charge of £100 will be levied, plus any non-refundable costs arising from the contract terms of our suppliers. It should also be noted that many scheduled airlines will treat such transfers as cancellations and, as such, rebooking will depend on space availability in the designated class of travel at the time of the proposed transfer.

6. INSURANCEUnder the terms of this contract you are required to have suitable travel insurance for your holiday and you must advise us of the details of your alternative policy including the name of the insurer and the policy number as soon as possible. The cost of medical treatment and repatriation in the event of serious accident or illness must be included. Clients in breach of this fundamental condition will be deemed to have indemnified the company for any consequential loss incurred by the company on their behalf and will be recoverable from you.

7. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINTShould you have a complaint about any part of your holiday, you must immediately inform our agent/representative and the supplier e.g. the hotel outlining the nature of the complaint. Issues can most easily be dealt with as they arise, at your resort, when our agent/representative can see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved to your satisfaction in the resort, details of the complaint should be notified in writing to our office (quoting the number(s) of your Booking Reference(s) and your departure date) within 35 days of returning from the resort. Failure to comply with this instruction will jeopardise your complaint.

8. HOLIDAY PARTICIPATIONWe reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a client at any time, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so. Furthermore, in our absolute discretion we reserve the right to terminate without notice the holiday arrangements of any client whose behaviour is such that it is likely in our opinion to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to our customers, employees, agent’s property or third party. If you are prevented from travelling because, in the opinion of a person in authority, you appear to be unfit to travel or cause distress or discomfort to other passengers, then our responsibility for your holiday ceases. Full cancellation charges will apply. Mosaic Holidays has no control over the behaviour of other people visiting or staying in your resort accommodation.

9. YOUR ACCOMMODATIONOnly the passengers shown on our Final Invoice have the right to use the accommodation provided. It is prohibited to assign, share or sublet the accommodation to any other persons.

10. YOUR TICKET’S CONDITIONSWhen you travel with an air or sea carrier, you accept that their Conditions of Carriage apply, some of which limit or exclude liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries such as the Warsaw Convention of 1929 as amended and the Montreal Convention 1995 as amended Regulation EU261/2004; If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation. Reimbursement in certain cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. If your airline does not comply with these rules, you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority via their website caa.co.uk. It is your responsibility to acquire the required travel and health documents for your destination (e.g. visas, passports and vaccination certificates). Mosaic Holidays cannot be held liable in any way for any failure to do so. If an element of your holiday is a schedules airfare, please note that the tickets are printed within a set period prior to the date of departure. Once such tickets are printed, the tickets have no refund value whatsoever. Additionally, the airline may refuse to issue replacement tickets and new additional tickets may have to be purchased by you.

1. PROVISION OF YOUR HOLIDAYWe will arrange for the provision of the services to you which form part of the holiday as confirmed to you. We cannot accept responsibility for verbal price quotes or description. These services will be supplied either by independently contracted suppliers or by ourselves. We allocate your chosen holiday to you when you or your travel agent asks for your holiday to be confirmed. All holidays advertised are subject to availability.

2. PRICING POLICYThe prices quoted in this brochure are per person and based on 2 adults sharing a twin room/double room and are for guidance only. Mosaic Holidays has the right to increase or reduce prices at any time. Verbally quoted prices are treated as provisional. However, once the price is confirmed in writing on the confirmation invoice and the deposit paid, it is guaranteed and subject only to additional fuel surcharges passed on by the airline. Price is guaranteed and only subject to fuel surcharges after booking if levied more than 30 days before travel. Even in that case, we will absorb an amount equal to 2% of the holiday price and only pass on any higher sum. If the increase is more than 10% of the original price, you may cancel within 7 days of notification and receive a full refund.

3. IF WE MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR HOLIDAYIt is highly unlikely that we will have to make changes to your holiday. However, as arrangements are made many months in advance, sometimes this is unavoidable and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most changes are minor. If changes have to be made which are of a significant nature, we will inform you or your travel agent when you make the booking. If the booking has already been made, we will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. If there is a major change, we will inform you, or your travel agent, as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. A major change is one that we make to your holiday arrangements before departure, that involves changing your time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, UK airport(s) (although please note a change from Gatwick to Heathrow or Stansted or vice versa is not classified as a ‘major change’), resort area or offering accommodation of a lower category. You then have the choice of either:A. accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you; B. purchasing another comparable available holiday from us; or C. cancelling your holiday. If you choose A or B, we will pay you compensation on the scale shown below. If you choose C, we will refund you all money you have paid to us plus at least compensation on the scale shown in the table below.

Period before scheduled departure within which Compensation Per Person: is notified to you or your travel agent:

More than 70 days Nil 42-70 days £10 28-41 days £20 15-27 days £30 Compensation for children 0-14 days £50 will be on a pro-rata basis.

Important NoteCompensation payments do not apply to changes caused by any force majeure, health risks, reason of war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure or congestion of airports or ports, cancellations or changes of schedules by airlines and similar events beyond our control.

4. IF WE CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAYWe reserve the right to cancel your holiday in any circumstance. Should this happen, we will offer you an alternative available holiday, of a comparable standard, for you to purchase or refund to you all money paid to us. Please note that it is advisable to leave UK departure point travel arrangements until your final travel documents are received. Your holiday should not be cancelled less than 10 weeks before the scheduled departure date, except for reasons of war, etc (see important note above). Please note that all Group Tours operated by Mosaic Holidays can only operate on a ‘minimum number’ basis. If the minimum number is not achieved, we shall inform you not later than 10 weeks prior to the date of departure. In the event that minimum numbers are not achieved, we reserve the right to cancel your Group Holiday providing we notify you 10 weeks prior to departure (no notification will be given for excursions). The provisions in clause 4 will then apply. No compensation will be payable if the cancellation is more than 10 weeks before departure, nor for consequential losses.

5. WHAT HAPPENS TO COMPLAINTSWe aim to resolve complaints on the spot while you are on holiday. If we can’t, you may choose to use the low cost arbitration scheme offered by ABTA. Details of how to do so are available from ABTA at 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ.

6. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HOLIDAYWe accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of your holiday (which are pre-booked and pre-paid in the U.K.) are supplied to you as confirmed by us on your confirmation invoice, and services offered reach a reasonable standard. If any significant part is not supplied, we will pay you a suitable compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday (see clause 3 above). Our limit in this case is twice the price of your holiday. We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all our holidays and that the suppliers of the various services provided to you as part of your holiday are efficient, safe and reputable and comply with the local and national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those services. However, we do not have direct control over the provision of services to clients by suppliers, and we cannot be held responsible or liable for death, injury or illness caused to clients, unless through negligence of our employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers and their staff whilst acting within the scope of their employment. If the claim relates to travel by air or sea our liability will be limited by relevant International Conventions in respect of both liability and value. Responsibility in respect of air and cruise carriers are at all times subject to their Conditions of Carriage (see point 10 above). You must contact us immediately if you believe you may have a claim and assist us in any action we seek to take against a supplier or other person. Otherwise our liability to you for any loss or damage which you may suffer, is limited to twice the price of your holiday. Note: We are not liable for information found on other than our own website/brochure nor for the standards of properties not listed in our system. Due to our commitment to staff training, we sometimes record telephone conversations.

7. PERSONAL INJURY (UNCONNECTED WITH ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY US)Although we cannot accept responsibility for clients who, by misadventure, suffer illness, personal injury or death during the period of their holiday arising out of an activity which does not form part of the foreign inclusive holiday or excursions booked through the company, general assistance will be offered to clients at our discretion to a maximum of £5,000 per booking. In addition, should there be a successful claim for costs against a third party or there being suitable insurance policy/ies in force, costs actually incurred by the tour operator shall be recoverable from the clients. You must make a claim under your insurance policy’s legal expenses claim and if you are successful, replay us any money we have spent on helping you.

8. LATE BOOKINGSWe recommend that you place your booking as early as possible, but understand that some clients may have no choice but to book late. More often than not the Company can accept bookings up to a week before departure, when the full cost must be paid at the time of booking. Payments must be made by credit card or debit card and we reserve the right to ask for a non refundable deposit. Clients making late bookings should first check that they can comply with all Visa, passport and medical requirements. We reserve the right to pass on reasonable late booking charges. In the case of late savers/special offers we reserve our right to utilise non-advertised properties.

9. ENFORCEMENTIf any part of these conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms will still be valid.

10. VALIDITYThis version was produced in October 2014, and supersedes all previous editions. Travel documents will only be issued when full payment has been received and cleared by Mosaic Holidays Ltd.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO MOSAIC HOLIDAYS MOSAIC HOLIDAYS COMMITMENT TO YOU

YOUR FINANCIAL SECURITYWhen you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate, or a suitable alternative. In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative, at no extra cost to you. You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme, or your credit card issuer where applicable. If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. All money accepted from you by a travel agent acting as our agent is held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we do fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us.
