Women only holidays in Egypt
Our company specializes in holidays exclusively for women over 25. If you have no-one to to travel with, well, now you do! You get to travel with a group of like-minded women in a safe, supportive and fun atmosphere – no male-female dynamics, no being the third wheel, and no single supplements! It’s a chance to relax, enjoy your holiday and be yourself.
Our trips are small-group, mid-range and all-inclusive. We travel in small groups to have more interaction with the locals, we partake in great little adventures, and being just women, you get to do things that women enjoy – like indulging in a local spa, learning to cook local food, and of course, retail therapy! Short and sweet: women-only trips are great fun!
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
All of our present staff come from a variety of backgrounds which lend themselves to sustainability of our planet: we have worked in National Parks, for Greepeace and for volunteer organisations. Needless to say, conservation and preservation comes naturally to us, from our office to across the globe!
Where possible we like to give back. In this instance one of the most heart-breaking sights we encounter is the mistreatment of horses used to transport tourists on sightseeing tours. In Luxor you have the option to visit the horse treatment centre or make donations to this wonderful charity.
To educate our clients, we send out a Responsible Travel Code of Conduct with the pre-departure information: these are guidelines for respecting local environments, peoples and places. When in the Sahara desert we ensure we leave only our footprints behind… and no waste.
Community
We are passionate about the people and places we visit: when in other countries we want our visit to be a mutual exchange with the locals, we want to have contact with them, learn from them and them from us in a positive way. Travelling in small groups allows us to visit the locals and thus have a more authentic experience. Interaction is a big part of our trips – we like to make you feel like you are part of a place, and not protected from it.
Along the way we use local guides not only for their local knowledge, but also so you can meet and get to know a variety of people from different backgrounds. We patronise locally run restaurants. As we use local service providers, the majority of the cost of this trip goes to Egyptians.
We encourage our clients to bring their unwanted clothes with them to wear and then give them away to the needy on the trip - making more room for souvenirs in their bags, thus supporting the local economy!
Our company has also specially selected two Ethiopian children to educate, Liya and Ermais, whose solo mothers struggle to raise them. We and our clients make donations towards their education, as well as using the profits from water bottle packs (which we have locally made) which we sell to our clients. Ethiopian sewing and weaving communities thus also benefit from this project. We visit Liya and Ermais when we are in Ethiopia to see how they are progressing.
