Posted June 22, 2024
In an exciting new endeavor, World Footprints, in collaboration with Intrepid Travel, is offering an extraordinary travel experience titled “Egypt Unveiled with World Footprints.” This exclusive 9-day trip will run November 12 – 20, 2024, and marks a significant step forward in sustainable, culturally immersive travel, perfectly aligning with the core missions and values of World Footprints.
Founded by Tonya and Ian Fitzpatrick, World Footprints has always been driven by a mission to connect travelers with meaningful, transformative journeys. Their dedication to responsible travel, cultural immersion, and community engagement has set a high standard in the industry. With “Egypt Unveiled,” they aim to offer travelers a deeper understanding of Egypt’s rich history and vibrant culture while promoting sustainable and ethical travel practices.
Nine Days of Egyptian Culture
Departing November 12, 2024 for nine days, “Egypt Unveiled with World Footprints“ is more than just a tour; it’s an invitation to explore the heart of an ancient civilization in a way that respects and honors its heritage. Purposefully designed as a small group experience, this trip will accommodate only 12 travelers, including World Footprints founders Tonya and Ian Fitzpatrick. This intimate group size allows for personalized attention, a more cohesive travel experience, and the ability to explore off-the-beaten-path locations that larger groups cannot access.
The trip itinerary has been thoughtfully crafted to include visits to iconic landmarks such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Valley of the Kings, as well as lesser-known gems that provide a more intimate look at Egyptian life and history. Travelers will also experience lunch in a Nubian village located on an island in the middle of the Nile River, and a dinner in a family home in Cairo, offering an immersive dive into local culture and hospitality. Additionally, travelers will enjoy luxury accommodations and three nights sailing on the Nile River, enhancing the overall experience with comfort and elegance.
One of the highlights of this journey is the focus on community interaction. Travelers will have the opportunity enjoy meals in the home of a local family, meet local artisans, participate in traditional crafts, and learn about the efforts being made to preserve Egypt’s cultural heritage. This hands-on approach not only enriches the travel experience but also supports local economies and fosters a deeper appreciation for the destinations visited.
World Footprints’ dedication to minimizing the environmental impact of tourism is mirrored in the operational aspects of “Egypt Unveiled.” The trip emphasizes eco-friendly practices, such as minimizing waste and supporting accommodations that prioritize sustainability. This conscious effort ensures that the natural and cultural wonders of Egypt can be enjoyed by future generations.
Tonya Fitzpatrick, co-founder of World Footprints, is enthusiastic about this new venture. “Egypt Unveiled with World Footprints is designed to be a journey of discovery, not just of the ancient wonders of Egypt, but also of the contemporary stories that make this country so dynamic and fascinating,” she says.
“Egypt Unveiled” offers Luxury at a Budget
Another significant benefit of this trip is its competitive pricing. The cost ranges from $3,950 for a group of eight, decreasing with each additional traveler. For a full group of 12, the price drops to $3,495 per person, providing substantial savings of nearly $1,000 compared to similar tours. This variable pricing model makes the trip accessible while maintaining the high-quality experience World Footprints is known for.
“Egypt Unveiled with World Footprints,” occurring from November 12-20, 2024, and starting and ending in Cairo, is a celebration of responsible travel, cultural exchange, and mutual respect. It invites travelers to step beyond the typical tourist experience and immerse themselves in the true spirit of Egypt. This journey exemplifies how travel can be a powerful tool for education, understanding, and positive change.
For those looking to embark on a journey that is as enriching as it is enlightening, “Egypt Unveiled with World Footprints” promises an adventure of a lifetime. This trip not only opens the door to the wonders of Egypt but also sets a benchmark for how travel can make a meaningful impact. As World Footprints and Intrepid Travel pave the way for future adventures, the travel community can look forward to more opportunities to explore the world in a way that honors and sustains it.
