Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

This itinerary has been designed to avoid domestic flights and the associated CO2 emissions as much as possible. Instead of flying, we travel to and from Alexandria using the high speed highway. We also try to design some city tours to be done on foot as much as possible and reduce the amount of driving each day.
Our Egypt guides are strict in monitoring and preventing littering to protect the sites we visit and waste bins are provided in all vehicles.
Many of the sites we visit are incredibly important historical and natural wonders, and we encourage our travelers to treat these sites as such, sticking to marked paths, not climbing on ruins, picking wild plants or flowers, and avoiding disturbing the local wildlife as much as possible.
The Impacts of this Trip
In Egypt, we support local crafts makers and artists by visiting a couple of carefully selected local shops. Here travelers can learn about the historic methods of producing papyrus and perfumed oils,, as well as purchasing souvenirs if they wish. All products sold in these shops are sourced from the surrounding local communities.
We use only Egyptian guides, all trained and qualified in Egyptology which not only contributes towards the local economy and provides much needed jobs, but provides an insight into Egyptian culture which only a local could do.
To provide a more in depth experience of Egyptian culture, we also take a walking tour through the less visited back streets of Old Cairo before reaching the more touristy sections of the Khan-el-Khalili bazaar.
We make a donation for every customer who visits Egypt which is split between supporting a children's orphanage in Cairo which we have helped for nearly 20 years, and also in doing litter/waste clean up programs in some of the desert areas we visit.
