Fairmont Nile City Hotel Joins Forces with NGO Very Nile on World Cleanup Day
On World Cleanup Day, Green Globe certified Fairmont Nile City Hotel proudly partnered with Very Nile for the Clean the Nile Initiative, reaffirming the hotel’s commitment to creating a lasting positive impact on both the community and the environment. The collaboration brought together volunteers, hotel colleagues, and local residents in a shared mission to protect Egypt’s most vital natural treasure while fostering a spirit of collective responsibility and environmental stewardship.
The initiative is part of Fairmont Nile City’s broader efforts to strengthen its connection with the local community through cultural, social, and environmental engagement. Over the years, the hotel has gone beyond hospitality to actively support initiatives that inspire meaningful change, with this year’s cleanup highlighting the importance of partnership in addressing sustainability challenges.
Participants contributed in two impactful ways. A large-scale cleanup along the Nile riverbanks removed waste and debris to help restore the waterway, while a creative upcycling workshop transformed collected materials into usable items. This combination of action and innovation demonstrated how small, hands-on contributions can generate lasting environmental benefits and inspire new ways of thinking about sustainability.
“At Fairmont Nile City, we believe our responsibility goes beyond offering exceptional hospitality,” said Magdi Gamil, General Manager of Fairmont Nile City. “We are part of this community, and we are dedicated to giving back in meaningful ways. The Nile is the lifeblood of Egypt, and by joining forces with Very Nile, we are helping to safeguard it while inspiring others to take part in shaping a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future.”
Fairmont Nile City’s collaboration with Very Nile also highlighted the power of partnerships with NGOs in creating long-term impact. Very Nile has become a driving force in mobilizing volunteers, empowering local communities, and reducing pollution through action-driven solutions.
This initiative further reflects Fairmont Nile City’s alignment with Accor’s global sustainability vision which places environmental care and community well-being at the core of responsible hospitality. By working closely with local organizations and supporting community-driven solutions, Fairmont Nile City hopes to educate participants on sustainability and the impact of collective action in achieving positive outcomes.
