The Nile and its environs make for some of the most exciting Egypt Eco tours and vacations. The Sahara Desert and the Red Sea are just as fascinating.
Eco tours refer to a specific type of tour for vacationers that involves touring natural habitats in an eco-conscious manner. This minimizes any negative ecological impact.
Some of the most popular activities for eco day tours include desert tours and camping, hiking, canoeing, biking, kayaking and surfing. Nature watching and birding is also very popular. In Egypt, one of the most beautiful regions in all of earth, there is plenty of natural sightseeing going on.
What are some of the most popular locations for these luxury tours? The Nile River is a favorite of Egypt eco tours, as it is a long and lush area, very accommodating to sailing and yachting tours.
What cities will you be seeing during Egyptian eco tours? Cairo is always the first stop when it comes to trips, as it is the capital of the country and the largest city in the nation. Cairo is home to the Giza Pyramids, the famous Egyptian Museum and the stunning architecture of Islamic Cairo.
Because Islamic Cairo is as commercial as it is beautiful, it may not be as popular for an eco-tour as some of the other tourist spots. These include cities like Aswan, Alexandria, Luxor and the Desert Oasis. Alexandria has many historical sites to see, while Aswan is friendlier to eco activities like sailing and hiking. Luxor is an excellent stop if you want to go on an adventure of both hiking and sightseeing, since it houses the Valley of the Kings.
Hurghada is another city of interest, it being a town located on Red Sea. Hurghada does have some eco-friendly activities with its diving, though you will have to look past the luxurious resorts in the area.
Another aspect of Egypt eco tours to consider is that of a wild life safari. Some wild life safaris can last up to 15 days and will involve a private tour of sightseeing, learning, and leisure.
What kind of animal life can you see on an Egyptian luxury tour or safari? First and foremost, you can expect to see birds. Many people travel to Egypt for birding because they are privileged to see millions of birds migrating and passing through Egypt from all over the world. There are nearly 300 types of birds you can spot in Egypt, and almost 200 native to the country.
In addition, you can see camels, wild dogs, crocodiles of the Nile, jackals, snakes and wild cats like the Felis Chaus or swamp cat, and the Acinonyx Jubatus, otherwise known as the cheetah.
There is plenty of excitement with Egypt eco tours!
