## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 15–29 people | AED 530 | 18 people |
| 30–59 people | AED 440 | — |
| 60 people | AED 410 | — |

- 15–29: Single 30-seat bus, one hybrid photo/video operator
- 30–59: Full specification
- 60: Two buses, two guides, separate photographer and videographer

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 25–29 are billed as 30 people at the rate for 30–59 people; groups of 56–59 are billed as 60 people at the rate for 60 people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

A seat on a "four emirates" coach tour sells publicly at **AED 250–350**. It is 45 strangers, eleven nationalities, a guide working in three languages, and 20 minutes at each stop because the itinerary is built around a shopping commission.

This is your team on your own bus. The guide has read your company profile and knows whether he is talking to engineers or to a sales floor. Lunch is a reserved section with your dietary list already in the kitchen's hands — not a queue at a tourist buffet. Sunset at Umm Al Quwain is a stop no retail circuit makes, because there is nothing there to sell you.

And you go home with an edited reel and a hundred usable photographs. The retail tour goes home with a WhatsApp group and forty blurry phone pictures.

**The commercial point:** running these four emirates as four separate half-day outings costs roughly AED 1,100 per person across four days of lost working time. This is one day and AED 440.
