Responsible Travel
At Fly and Find Egypt Tours, we believe that travel is not just about seeing new places — it’s about connecting with people, cultures, and environments in a way that is respectful, sustainable, and enriching for everyone involved. As travelers in one of the world’s most historic and culturally rich countries, we carry a special responsibility to protect Egypt’s natural beauty, heritage, and communities for generations to come.
Our Responsible Travel philosophy guides everything we do — from how we design our tours to the partnerships we form and the behavior we encourage among our travelers.
What is Responsible Travel?
Responsible travel means traveling consciously and respectfully. It’s about minimizing our environmental impact, honoring local cultures, supporting local economies, and fostering meaningful, positive exchanges between visitors and hosts.
Travel can be a powerful force for good — but only when done thoughtfully. We are committed to encouraging responsible tourism practices that safeguard Egypt’s treasures and uplift its communities.
Our Commitments to Responsible Travel
1. Protecting the Environment
Egypt’s deserts, Nile riverbanks, and ancient monuments are fragile ecosystems and priceless heritage sites. We work hard to minimize our environmental footprint by:
Using eco-friendly vehicles and limiting group sizes to reduce emissions.
Encouraging travelers to carry reusable water bottles and reduce plastic waste.
Avoiding tours that damage sensitive archaeological sites or natural habitats.
Promoting responsible waste disposal — including clean-up initiatives during desert safaris.
Supporting local conservation projects and national parks.
2. Respecting Local Cultures and Traditions
Egypt’s rich cultural tapestry is woven with customs and beliefs that deserve our utmost respect. We encourage our travelers to:
Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious or rural areas.
Ask permission before photographing people, especially in local villages.
Learn about local customs, greetings, and etiquette before the trip.
Support local artisans by purchasing handmade crafts directly from the source.
Engage with communities through authentic experiences that respect their way of life.
3. Supporting Local Communities
We strive to make tourism a force for community empowerment and economic growth by:
Partnering with local guides, drivers, and small businesses to ensure your money benefits the community.
Choosing locally owned accommodations and restaurants wherever possible.
Offering opportunities for travelers to contribute positively — such as visits to social enterprises or volunteer programs.
Promoting fair wages and good working conditions for everyone involved in the tours.
4. Preserving Egypt’s Heritage
Our tours emphasize education and awareness about Egypt’s incredible history. We:
Provide well-researched, culturally sensitive information about sites and their significance.
Encourage travelers to treat monuments and artifacts with care.
Support UNESCO initiatives and local efforts to preserve heritage sites.
Promote “leave no trace” principles when visiting archaeological sites and natural areas.
How You Can Practice Responsible Travel With Us
We believe responsible travel is a shared journey between us and our travelers. Here’s how you can help make your trip as responsible and rewarding as possible:
Choose sustainable tour options — smaller groups, eco-friendly transport, and locally-run experiences.
Respect the environment — avoid littering, stay on designated paths, and conserve water.
Be culturally sensitive — learn about local customs, ask before taking photos, and interact respectfully.
Support local businesses — buy souvenirs, food, and services from local vendors.
Minimize plastic use — bring reusable bags, bottles, and utensils.
Give back — consider participating in community visits or charity initiatives during your tour.
