SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Throughout your trip you will be in constant contact with nature and wild animals. Here are some recommendations to minimize your impact on it:

• Never flush toilet paper, pads, tampons, dental floss or anything else down the toilet! ALWAYS use the garbage bin.
• We also suggest that ladies use a menstrual cup or underwear instead of conventional disposable hygiene products, which are highly polluting and impractical on these trips.

MINI-SERIES | In Search of Myths and Heroes – The Queen of Sheba, 2005

The story of the Queen of Sheba appears in sacred religious texts for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Described in the Bible simply as a Queen of the East, modern scholars believe that she came from the Kingdom of Axum in Ethiopia or the Kingdom of Sheba in Yemen. In the original story, she brings a caravan of valuable gifts to King Solomon of Israel, with several bundles of incense. Both countries – Ethiopia and Yemen – claim the Queen of Sheba as their own. Given that they are separated by only 25 kilometers of water, both could be right, since for contemporary historians, Ethiopia and Yemen would then be the kingdom of Sheba.
