Please ask yourself:
Will I be able to make the monthly payments on time and will I have available funds to spend while in Dubai?
Do I have childcare arrangements in place, if needed?
Will I be able to take the time away from my priorities for this trip?
I want everyone to feel confident and prepared before locking in their spot.
Please feel free to invite any friends or family. To maintain a peaceful and enjoyable environment for the group, I kindly ask that all travelers bring positive energy and a cooperative spirit. If you have iffy feelings about them (the people that you are inviting) in the United States, or if they are full of drama, please DON'T invite them on this trip. (I know we all know some people who just won't do right no matter where they go 😳.)
🛂 Passport: You DO NEED a passport for this trip. If you have a passport that is not from the US, or if you are not a US citizen, please let me know before paying the deposit, as things may be different for you. It will be your responsibility to ensure you meet all requirements for travel to Dubai, including passport validity, visa requirements, and/or any other documents based on your country of residence. Each traveler outside of the United States will be asked to sign a waiver acknowledging responsibility. For guidance, reach out to your country’s embassy or consulate.
✅ Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity after our arrival date.
✈️ Flights: The flights aren’t out yet. I will let you know when they are. Each traveler is responsible for their flight arrangements, as Traces of Sunlight does not book or manage flights, but we will help coordinate travel and give travel suggestions.
Airport code: DXB
📅 If you want to add additional days to make the trip longer, that option is available. Just let us know.
⏳ Long flight alert: Most flight times are 13+ hours. Pack your patience!
💳 Flight vendors I recommend:
Airfordable: $25 off first booking → make deposit, then pay every 2–3 weeks. Airfordable Link
Pay Later Travel: $25 off first booking with code ENI136ZP4E → deposit + weekly/biweekly payments. Pay Later Travel Link
Payment Structure: Clients can opt for a monthly payment plan to manage the cost of their travel arrangements. The total trip cost will be divided into equal monthly payments.
Deposit Requirement: A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required upon booking to secure your reservation. This amount will be applied toward your total trip cost.
Payment Schedule: Monthly payments will begin on the month after your deposit is made and continue until the trip balance is paid in full. The final payment is due Sep 22, 2026.
Payment Methods: Payments can be made via credit/debit card and are paid directly to the supplier. Clients are responsible for ensuring timely payments.
Late Payments: Continuous late payments may result in the cancellation of the reservation.
Cancellation Policy: Clients can cancel their trip under the standard cancellation policy listed below.
Changes to the Plan: Clients may adjust their payment plan upon request, subject to approval. Changes may affect the total trip cost and payment schedule.
Confirmation of Payments: Clients will receive confirmation of each payment received and their remaining balance.
I have contractual due dates that I have to adhere to with the vendor. Please be mindful of that, and make payments when you agreed to make them. If payments start to fall behind, your reservation may be subject to cancellation. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, so if you start to experience difficulties making your payments, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to discuss potential options to keep you on track.
The double occupancy rate is $1895 and the solo occupancy rate is $2495. If your roommate decides to cancel their participation in the trip at any time, you will be responsible for paying the single occupancy rate, which is $2495 as accommodation costs increase when rooms are occupied by only one person. Please remain mindful of this when choosing your roommate.
If you’re ready to book but your roommate hasn’t yet, you can still move forward, but you’ll need to select the solo occupancy rate, which is $2495.
By choosing this rate, you agree that if your roommate doesn’t come for any reason or doesn't book at all, you will have to pay the solo occupancy rate. If you’re not comfortable with that, please do not book, as the deposit is non-refundable.
Once your roommate books, we’ll work to adjust the price to the double occupancy rate, but this depends on when they book and the supplier’s procedures. Be sure to reach out to us when your roommate is ready to book, so we can confirm everything and make sure that they’re good to go.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
For the balance amount, the below cancellation fee will be applicable.
When a cancellation is made
06 days or less up until the day of arrival or no show - No refund at all. There would be a 100% cancellation fee
30 days - 07 days prior to arrival - There would be a 75% cancellation fee
60 days - 31 days prior to arrival - There would be a 40% cancellation fee
Communication is essential. If there is no communication from you and/or if your payments aren't paid up to date 61 days before the trip date, we will be required to cancel the trip to avoid any penalties that may be charged to you and/or Traces of Sunlight Travel. In such an event, any refundable amount, excluding the non-refundable deposit, will be returned to you based upon the cancellation guidelines.

To ensure a positive experience for all participants, it is expected that travelers will maintain a respectful, cooperative, and courteous attitude toward fellow travelers, staff, and third-party service providers throughout the trip. The following guidelines must be adhered to:
Fairness and integrity: To ensure fairness towards everyone in the group, we kindly ask that only travelers who booked their accommodations and excursions through Traces of Sunlight Travel share rooms with other guests who paid through Traces of Sunlight Travel. This would also go for our excursions, transportation, and group activities. An example of what I am speaking of would be someone inviting their friends/family to come, and their friends stay in the room with them in secret, or someone trying to get on one of our buses or participate in our group activities without being a confirmed guest on Traces of Sunlight's travel list. This policy helps us maintain organization, provides fairness to other travelers who have paid through Traces of Sunlight Travel, and provides the best possible service for those who are part of the group booking.
Respect for Others: Travelers should respect the cultural norms, personal space, and privacy of fellow travelers and the communities we visit.
Cooperation: Group travel requires mutual cooperation. Travelers should follow the itinerary, be punctual for scheduled activities, and communicate with the group leader or tour guide if any issues arise.
Prohibited Behavior: Any behavior that causes discomfort, endangers others, or disrupts the group experience (such as verbal or physical harassment, violence, or excessive intoxication) will not be tolerated.
Resolution of Conflicts: Should any conflicts arise between travelers, the tour leader or a designated representative will mediate the issue, and travelers are expected to cooperate with these efforts to maintain harmony.
Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the removal of the traveler from the tour, with no refund provided for missed portions of the trip. The traveler will be responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of their behavior.
At Traces of Sunlight Travel, we strive to maintain positive and respectful relationships with all of our clients. If at any point, the professional relationship between the client and Traces of Sunlight Travel is compromised due to communication challenges, unmet expectations, or other factors, Traces of Sunlight Travel reserves the right to discontinue services and remove the client from the trip.
In such cases, the following terms will apply:
Notification: The client will be notified in writing of the decision to discontinue services, along with the reasons for this action.
Refunds and Costs: Any refunds or cancellation fees will be subject to the terms outlined in the original agreement, taking into account non-refundable deposits or payments made on behalf of the client. Traces of Sunlight Travel will work to minimize losses, but clients should be aware of any non-recoverable costs. Please note that if you choose to miss an excursion or any portion of the trip for any reason, we are unable to offer a refund.
Transition of Services: Upon cancellation, Traces of Sunlight Travel will provide the client with any relevant information, bookings, and contacts needed to assume control of the remainder of the trip independently.
