Welcome to Orbital Travel's web site

Thank you for taking the time to visit this website we hope that it meets your needs in terms of information and ease of access. Now that Autumn is upon us, what better time to think about hot sunny places like Hurghada and Sharm EL Sheikh on the Red Sea. Or how about our Nile cruise programs for a mixure of culture and beautiful weather ?

We would like to give you some information about Orbital Travel, how we work, and how we will look after your holiday arrangements which we hope will be of some interest.

Orbital Travel staff have been visiting Egypt since the early nineties, much has changed during that time, but our commitment to find the best Nile cruise boats and  Red Sea resort hotels has not. We constantly review and inspect every hotel and Nile cruise boat that we offer to ensure that the standards we demand for our clients are maintained.

We have been able to form strong lasting business relationships with our partners overseas. In fact we have been working with our current partner in Egypt for over ten years now. These relationships give us access to great rates and first class levels of service in all of our destinations ensureing that our clients receive the highest standard of customer care and service. 

When we say it is “ten minutes walk to the centre of town” it is not because we have looked it up in a tourist guide, its because we have walked it, or the beds and pillows in the Conrad hotel in Cairo are probably the most comfortable in Egypt, we know because we have slept on them.

The recent demise of XL group of companies has once shown once again the importance of having protection for your holiday. If you choose a package from a bonded holiday company such as Orbital Travel then your monies and holiday are safe regardless of our financial position.

When we started our business, one of the first things we did was to ensure that full bonding was in place to protect our clients. We wanted our clients to be as secure as possible, that is why we chose the Travel Trust Association. The TTA hold our client's money in a trust fund until they return from their holiday, only then are the funds released to us. Orbital Travel are also bonded with the CAA within the ATOL license scheme which allows us to package  flights with our contracted accommodation. Every element of your holiday is covered from the moment you place your booking with us. 

Our aim is to provide our clients with a holiday experience that will be remembered for many years to come.

Again, thank you for visiting our site, we look forward to seeing you in one of our select destinations during the comming months.
