To extend the journey, join us for the optional Sahara Desert excursion.

Q & A
 
 
I'm a designer but not a member can I attend?
 
Yes, but there is a slight increase in price for those that are not members. However, you can sign up as an IDS member at the link below and take advantage of the lower trip price. 
 
 
Can I bring my spouse or friend if they are not a member of IDS?
 
Yes, you can!  The price is slightly different for non-members. If your friend/spouse is a designer and wants to join IDS they can sign up for membership by clicking this LINK
 
I'm not a designer, can I attend the trip?
 
Yes, anyone with a passion for design is encouraged to attend. However, the price is just slightly higher for non-members. Members of IDS were provided with a small discount to attend.
 
Should I purchase insurance?
 
Yes, we highly recommend insurance and can send you a quote.
 
Can you book a pre or post-trip for me?
 
Yes, we are offering a post-trip. However, if you wish to book a pre-trip, we can help with the itinerary and book it for you.
 
How does the double occupancy rate work?
 
The double occupancy rate is for those bringing a spouse or a friend. The rate also applies if you want us to pair you with another designer to room with. Double occupancy rooms that wish to have two beds will need to notify us shortly after booking so that we can reserve a room with the correct amount of beds. 
 
How does the single supplement work?
 
The single supplement is for those that are attending alone and do not wish to room with another colleague, friend or spouse.
 
Will you offer this trip again?
 
I am not sure. Each year IDS + Shayla Copas Travel will look at different opportunities for educational travel. This bucket list journey may not be offered again.
 
Is it safe?
 
Yes, we will have a private driver and a trip manager with us for the entire trip. 
 
Can you book my air?
 
Yes, I can book your international air. Send me an email to travel@shaylacopas.com with the request.
 
Can you book my other travel throughout the year?
 
Yes, we can book all of your travel needs. Besides operating an interior design studio, we have established a full-time luxury travel agency that can provide VIP amenities that consumers cannot acquire on their own.
