Egypt history tour & Nile cruise

CARBON REDUCTION

Where possible, we prioritize more sustainable modes of transport such as buses and trains for local travel, which helps reduce carbon emissions. There are two internal flights within this itinerary as road transfers are not allowed for tourists traveling from Cairo to Aswan/Luxor. The drive takes around 12-15 hours, and the sleeper train option is similar in duration.

The hotels included in this package are local hotels. While sustainability is becoming more of a focus, it's still a work in progress in the area. Some hotels are starting to adopt eco-friendly practices, but it will take time for these to be more widely implemented.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

We take great care in ensuring that all places we visit remain clean and undisturbed. Our dedicated staff actively participates in cleaning up tourist areas, ensuring that no waste is left behind. Additionally, our vehicles are equipped with waste disposal systems to maintain cleanliness throughout the trip. Our team is committed to minimizing environmental impact in all aspects of the tour.

Furthermore, we always welcome feedback from our clients on how we can further improve our sustainability efforts and reduce our environmental impact.

LOCAL ECONOMY

We prioritize partnerships with locally owned hotels and restaurants, which helps support the local economy. By working with these businesses, we ensure that the financial benefits of tourism remain within the community and contribute to the overall development of the region.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

We are deeply committed to investing in the development of our local staff by offering them a range of courses in leadership, emotional intelligence, language, and tourism. These training programs are designed to enhance their skills and knowledge, ensuring they can provide the best possible service to our clients. We place a particular emphasis on hiring and empowering women, providing them with equal opportunities for personal and professional growth.

We are committed to hiring from local communities, offering valuable opportunities for young people through training programs in tourism principles and customer relations, especially during the summer holidays.The goal of these initiatives is to recruit new employees from this group of trainees, providing them with long-term employment opportunities and a pathway to career growth.

As part of our commitment to giving back to the community, we also make a donation to the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation for each booking reserved, helping to support the foundation's efforts in providing healthcare to those in need.
