Local community:
As part of our continued commitment to responsible tourism, we operate this trip in a way that aims to reduce impacts and to give as much back as possible to the local communities. We work with a local operator as well as local leaders helping to provide employment.
We spend four full days trekking through the vast Saharan Desert accompanied by our team of local Bedouins. For five nights we camp in a traditional Bedouin tent in a desert camp, where our team of cooks prepare typical dishes on open fires and bake Saharan bread in the warm desert sand.
At the beginning and at the end of the trek we stay in locally owned hotels, so helping to support the local economy
The group size is deliberately kept small to protect the local ecosystems and have a much greater interaction with the local communities we visit along the way. After the political turmoil in the region, now more than ever, tourism is vital to the country’s economy and future!
Our offices:
At our offices we have worked to reduce our carbon footprint through a reduction of energy use and energy conservation measures. We also actively try to reduce the waste produced by having active reduction and recycling policies in place. We run annual staff workshops on Responsible Tourism.
Carbon balancing:
Global warming is a reality and to help you make a difference by reducing the carbon dioxide that is produced when you travel we offer a chance to carbon balance your flights. We encourage all our clients to do this and do so for all our staff travel. Go on do your bit!

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!
