Throughout Jordan and Egypt we use small local hotels and hostels, we often travel by public buses and trains and employ many local guides and representatives. We respect the local culture at all times: going to a secluded and approved bathing spot before stripping down to our bathers to float in the dead sea and ensuring that we dress appropriately at religious sites and respect any wishes for silent visits.
In Amman, our tour leaders take travellers away from the main tourist areas, leaving them to shop in the traditional souqs in their free time. At Wadi Rum, we stay in a Bedouin camp before joining our local Bedouin guides, with whom we have a long standing relationship, for a camel trek in the desert.
We also have long term relationships with some of the best local Egyptologists whose services are included at every ancient site on all Egypt trips. This provides long term employment (even during lulls in tourism) and fair wages. We make sure that we aren't tempted to climb the pyramids like many other tourists do, as we believe in supporting the preservation of these ancient sites.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
