With over 100 active conflicts worldwide affecting more than 1.5 billion people, the human impact is overwhelming, for Lives, economies, and cultures. But tourism has this incredible ability to connect us, no matter where we’re from. When we travel, we don’t just visit new places - we break down barriers, we laugh and learn, we build bridges and make new friends. We create a sense of global unity, respect, and mutual understanding. Let’s continue to be a role model in the world.

Did You Know? Ancient Egyptians were among the pioneers of maritime trade, utilizing the Nile River as a vital artery for transporting goods such as timber, ivory, and precious stones. They developed robust wooden cargo ships crafted from local acacia and imported cedar, which played a crucial role in Egypt's economic prosperity and cultural expansion. These ships were equipped with sails strategically positioned to harness the wind, enabling efficient navigation against the Nile's currents. The ancient Egyptians' maritime prowess extended beyond the Nile, as their cargo ships ventured into the Mediterranean Sea, facilitating trade with neighboring civilizations. These voyages were not merely commercial endeavors but also contributed to cultural exchange and diplomatic relations, solidifying Egypt's status as a dominant regional power during antiquity. At Ruswal Global, we continue to honor this legacy of maritime excellence. Since 2014, specializing in cargo and marine inspections, we ensure the safe and compliant transport of goods worldwide.
