In support of our belief in responsible tourism, all our accommodation is locally owned. In the Sinai (Bedouin territory), our hotels are owned by local tribes people, who also provide our guides and drivers. Not only are they a particularly amenable people, but their expert knowledge of the desert and living there are irreplaceable assets. In mainland Egypt, our hotels are similarly Egyptian, as are our guides and drivers.
We also visit local Bedouin craft shops in the Sinai desert, which provide employment for nearly 200 Bedouin women. Trips into the desert furthermore bring cash to host Bedouin communities - our visits to Mount Sinai, for example, are accompanied by mountain guides from the local Gebeliya tribe, who rotate camel provision among male members of the tribe.
We also invest in energy reduction schemes to offset the CO2 from your Egypt flight. Each trip also contains a trip to St Katherine's mountain where we stay overnight at an eco-lodge, whose systems and construction are and have been environmentally friendly, and proceeds from which go to St Katherine's National Park.
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!
