How this holiday makes a difference

Make your holiday in Egypt something to always remember – but not at the expense of the environment or the local peoples. You will stay in locally-owned and operated hotels throughout this tour – not multinational chains which grossly over consume the local resources (electricity, water, and so on), waste food, and do not pay wages in any way relative to the exorbitant prices they charge their guests.

Likewise, you will have only local guides in the Sinai. All of the guides on this trip are university graduates with whom we have long-established relationships. They are all eager to share the richness of their own local traditions and culture as well as delight you with comprehensive details on the history and the role of the sites you visit.

You are on traditional public transportation whenever possible. When using private transportation the size of the vehicle is always relative to the number of people in the group. We do not use vehicles which accommodate more guests than are on the trip. All private vehicles are locally-owned and operated. By using local accommodation, transportation and guides, communities and native peoples derive a greater financial benefit from tourism.

Reviewed 21 Oct 2006 by Georgia Calvert4 star rating

The holiday was great and I cannot praise the tour operator enough. We were looked after extremely well. The quality of hotels was very good and the English speaking tour guides very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


My highlights were probably the Karnack temple and Mt. Sinai at sunrise. And places I enjoyed most were Aswan and Luxor.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Tips would be to take plenty of thin layers when climbing the mountain as it gets really cold at the top. Try the local food and the beer is very good too. Remember October is Ramadan and places close early although this wasn't too much of a problem.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I feel it benefited the local people as we stayed in locally owned hotels had local tour guides. We use local transportation and ate and drank in locally run restaurants.

4. Any other comments?


Overall it was a great holiday and would definitely recommend the tour company to others. I have already recommended the holiday and tour company and my friend may book in the next few weeks.
