Eco-tour with American NGO, HANDS

Backpacker Concierge and Hands Along the Nile Development Services have just teamed up to offer a truly one-of-a-kind eco-tour in September 2009.

Check out the program at - http://www.handsalongthenile.org/program/InsightTrips.htm

HANDS is an American 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that is committed to building bridges between the people of Egypt and the United States. In addition to their program of exchange and dialogue, HANDS also supports projects aimed at bringing socioeconomic stability to Egyptian communities.

The program that Backpacker Concierge and HANDS have put together features the services of a private Professor of Marine Biology from the University of Maryland, visits to lesser-known areas of Egypt, visits to local organizations that strive to improve the lives of everyday Egyptians, and overnight accommodation that honors the environment and features local building techniques.

We hope to see you in September!
