How can you contribute?
-
Save water: limit the showering time and duration as possible while in Egypt. There is no need to request new towels or bedsheets everyday at hotel. Use lower pressure on tab water each time you wash your hands or brush your teeth.
-
Save Energy: Egypt is suffering from severe energy crisis leading to power outage every day all over the country but it excludes touristic areas from this outage. It would be indeed a help to switch off power and AC whenever you leave your room or apartment.

Purchase from poor merchants and street vendors; Most of these people make less than 2$ a day and they have families to support.
