The experience

Here you will help us paint walls, make simple furniture, and do light manual work for the rooftop and guest house ♻️🌿. Using waste materials, we create lamps, plant pots, small tables, and cozy decoration items. Tasks include painting, sanding, cutting, assembling furniture, and small fixes. Nothing heavy, just steady hands-on work.

When you finish, you can relax by the Nile, chat with neighbors, or rest on the terrace.
