Supporting the local community:

The program aims not only to support the socially and economically underdeveloped parts of Egypt, but also to extend a Bridge between Cultures to create Unity through Diversity.
Through the activities planned in this program travellers will have the chance to cross beyond the stereo typing that they have always had about Egypt and understand more about the country and the people in the same time when they will mix with various types of locals they will also have the chance to explain about the misconceptions that the East also has against the West. All of the services provided in the program are provided by various Egyptian suppliers most of them are young Egyptian entrepreneurs who decided to control their own future rather than just wait for the government's employment.
