Cancellation & Refund Policy

Clear Guidance Before You Cancel or Change a Booking

Cancellation conditions can differ between desert safaris, attraction tickets, cruises, private tours and third-party activities. This page explains the general approach used by Star Dunes Tourism.

Important: The cancellation rule shown on the specific tour page or written booking confirmation takes priority. Some products may be refundable up to a stated deadline, while attraction tickets, special-event bookings or supplier-issued tickets may be non-refundable once confirmed.

How Cancellation Works

If you need to cancel or change a booking, contact us on WhatsApp as early as possible and provide the guest name, booking date, tour name and scheduled activity date.

Before the Cancellation Deadline

If your confirmed package includes free cancellation before a stated deadline, eligible amounts will be handled according to that package’s written terms.

After the Deadline

Late cancellations, no-shows or cancellations after supplier tickets or resources have been committed may be non-refundable or subject to charges.

Date or Guest Changes

Changing the date, pickup point or guest count is subject to availability and may change the price. Contact us before the original service time.

Supplier or Weather Changes

If an activity is materially affected by weather, authority instructions, venue closure or supplier operations, we will communicate available alternatives where possible.

No-Shows and Late Arrival

If a guest is unavailable at the confirmed pickup point, cannot be contacted, or arrives after a fixed departure time, the booking may be treated as a no-show. Refunds are not normally available where the service was reserved and the guest missed it through late arrival or incorrect booking information.

Refund Timing

Where a refund is approved, processing time can depend on the original payment method, bank, card provider or third-party supplier. Star Dunes Tourism can confirm the approved amount and method, but external financial processing times may be outside our control.

Non-Refundable Items

Some attraction tickets, special promotions, supplier-issued vouchers, custom private arrangements or last-minute bookings may be marked non-refundable. This will be communicated where it applies.

How to Request a Cancellation

  • Contact the official Star Dunes Tourism WhatsApp number.
  • Send the booking name and mobile number used for the reservation.
  • Send the tour name and scheduled date.
  • State whether you want to cancel, reschedule or reduce the guest count.
  • Wait for written confirmation of the change or cancellation status.

A cancellation request is not complete until it has been acknowledged by our team or the relevant supplier.
