They visit pyramids, temples and hotels, but the connection to everyday life, culture and people is often missing.<\/p>\n            <p>Masry Tours was founded to create precisely this connection.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section class=\"mt-story-section\">\n        <div class=\"mt-story-wrap mt-story-grid mt-story-grid--media mt-story-grid--reverse\">\n          <div class=\"mt-story-copy\">\n            <span class=\"mt-story-kicker mt-story-kicker--dark\">Local Communities<\/span>\n            <h2>Travelling with and through local communities<\/h2>\n            <p>Our trips are created in collaboration with local partners, families, hosts, and guides.

At the same time, a larger portion of the value creation remains directly with the local people.<\/p>\n            <p>For us, sustainable tourism doesn't just mean environmental protection.
