Responsible Travel

Our Commitment to Responsible Tourism

At Egypt Top Tours, we believe that travel should have a positive impact — on the local economy, the environment, and the communities we visit. Our approach to responsible tourism ensures that every journey we design supports sustainability, authenticity, and respect for Egypt’s heritage and people.

Economic Responsibility

  1. All our sightseeing tours are operated and guided by local Egyptian experts. We proudly employ local drivers, guides, and staff to handle all tour arrangements.

  2. We encourage our guests to support local artisans by purchasing handmade crafts such as papyrus, perfumes, carpets, and authentic gold and silver pharaonic souvenirs.

  3. Our itineraries include visits to traditional markets like Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo and the vibrant souks of Luxor and Aswan, supporting Egypt’s small businesses.

  4. We continuously invest in our team’s development through training programs in leadership, emotional intelligence, languages, and tourism management.

  5. Whenever possible, we choose locally owned hotels and restaurants, ensuring that your travel spending directly benefits local communities.

Environmental Responsibility

  1. We are committed to leaving every site clean and untouched, ensuring that our tours never harm Egypt’s natural or historical environments. Our local teams in Bahariya and the White Desert also participate annually in cleanup initiatives to preserve these beautiful areas.

  2. All of our modern, air-conditioned vehicles are equipped with rubbish baskets and eco-friendly exhaust systems to minimize environmental impact.

  3. Our guides and drivers are prohibited from smoking during tours and must adhere to environmentally responsible conduct.

  4. Our management team meets regularly to evaluate our sustainability practices, focusing on reducing waste, noise pollution, and carbon emissions. Staff are encouraged to go beyond expectations by picking up litter at tourist sites.

  5. Our diving and tour guides actively educate travelers about preserving Egypt’s coral reefs, emphasizing the importance of protecting marine life in the Red Sea.

  6. We proudly support eco-tourism, partnering with environmentally conscious hotels and resorts in destinations such as Dahab, Marsa Alam, and Bahariya Oasis.

  7. We value feedback from our guests and always welcome suggestions on how to improve our environmental practices.

Social Responsibility

  1. Egypt Top Tours provides travelers with accurate information about Egypt’s customs, traditions, and appropriate attire before their arrival, ensuring cultural respect and understanding.

  2. We hire from local communities and offer training opportunities for students in tourism, communication, and hospitality — helping develop the next generation of tourism professionals.

  3. We regularly make donations and contributions to charitable foundations that support local communities, education, and cultural preservation across Egypt.
