At Mazaj we believe that luxury and sustainability should sail together, respectfully, responsibly, and gracefully. We stand by the principle that luxury should leave a positive footprint. That's why we support local artisans, source fresh ingredients from nearby farms, and design eco-conscious systems on every vessel. From eliminating single-use plastics to running a fully digital guest experience, we're committed to protecting the Nile while sharing its magic.
Today, many Egyptians express their creativity through unique, handcrafted goods. By promoting local brands, we aim to give back and uplift our community. All the amenities within our Dahabiyas and Cruise Ships, are locally made and available for purchase onboard. Furthermore, sourcing the majority of our food locally not only guarantees exceptional ingredients for our guests, but also empowers Egyptian farmers and strengthens the local economy.
Our diligence to environmental protection is reflected in our efforts to protect the delicate biodiversity and ecosystem of the Nile River. Understanding its significance as both a historical and ecological treasure, we take proactive measures to minimize our footprint and ensure its preservation for future generationsThrough conservation, responsible resource management, and the enhancement of natural landscapes.
We're committed to preserving the Nile by eliminating plastic use entirely. Through innovative eco-friendly initiatives, we reduce waste, optimize energy efficiency, and implement sustainable practices across all aspects of our operations. To conserve water, towels and linens are refreshed only upon request. Refillable amenities help minimize waste, while smart thermostats and LED lighting boost energy efficiency across the vessel. By sourcing ingredients locally, we reduce packaging and cut down on carbon emissions from transportation. Our digital app supports a paperless experience, eliminating the need for printing and streamlining check-in through the seamless digitization of all necessary information.
