Pyramids & Nile cruise holiday

On this trip: The evening spent with our Nubian friends not only allows you to see something of Nubian life, but also provides a source of income directly to the family. We have joined forces with the Sunshine International Project, Luxor, to assist in providing education and a home for children in Egypt. You will have the opportunity to visit the home and meet the 63 residents, where you’ll be assured of a cheery welcome! Please also be aware that there may be times that you can’t visit the home, for example because of itinerary timings or opening times of the orphanage.

If you would like to give a gift they would be delighted to receive the following; children’s summer clothing - for girls, short sleeve summer dresses, t-shirts and long cotton trousers for all ages up to age 10 would be best and, for boys, long cotton trousers and short sleeve shirts and t-shirts for all ages up to 14. Pyjamas, disposable nappies, milk formula & baby shampoo are also always needed. These goods are available to buy cheaply locally (helping the local economy) and your group leader will be able to advise on where to buy things.

Our Responsible Travel Code: Clients who travel with us will automatically receive a copy of our Responsible Travel leaflet. This contains details and advice on how you can make a positive difference when you travel. If you would like a copy in advance of travel please contact us.

Charity Partnerships: We work in partnership with Plan International. Plan works with some of the world’s poorest communities where three out of four children die before the age of five. We also support Friends of Conservation – an international charity committed to working with local people to develop a balance between their needs and the wildlife with which they share the natural habitat and ecosystems.

Carbon Balancing: Global warming is a real issue and is a direct result of your travel. We have teamed up with Climate Care to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from your flight. You’ll be asked upon booking if you want to donate – with set amounts from £5. As a company we offset the carbon emissions from all staff travel in full.

Our Foundation: We’ve highlighted a few of the ways in which we offer our support, financially or otherwise, and now you can, too. We have set up our own foundation, which will administer funds donated by you. A small donation of £1 per person will be taken when booking a holiday and that money will be put to good use by one of our carefully selected projects. If you don’t want to make the donation, just tell us when you book.
