And we loved Noha in Luxor, she was wonderful and we added a couple extra tours she recommended and so glad we did. And Walla in Aswan was also very nice and very knowledgeable. I will definitely be recommending Kimkim to anyone who is interested in touring Egypt.

This was made possible, among other things, by the excellent organisation: thank you very much for that!

After multiple iterations with Khaled, we finally had an itinerary in place. I was a little anxious on how things worked out. However, right from the arrival in Cairo, things worked in clock work. Khaled had a local coordinator in each of the places we visited . This helped a lot. Right from timely pickups, drop offs and local coordination, the team remained accessible and regularly communicated with us. The wider team was informed about our entire schedule. So, we did not even once have to tell them about our plans while the local teams remained flexible. We appreciated the tips we got to handle topics like tipping which can get tricky in Egypt. We appreciated that the local logistics including tickets to all sites were already handled.

The local places which were arranged for lunch were good. The hotels in general were good as well. Unfortunately, the previous booking we had done with Iris Dahabiya did not work out as their air conditions were out of order. An alternative was arranged with Adam Dahabiya. While it offered a good room and outstanding food, the service offered on this boat felt extremely raw and not well trained. They also never seemed to have any of the drinks that were offered on their menu. In a supposedly 5 star dahabiya, I would expect that I can communicate easily with the staff. However, we had to rely on our guide.

We also want to give a massive shoutout to our 2 guides - Omar in Aswan and Luxor and then later Mohammad (Jimmy) in Cairo and Alexandria. They were highly knowledgable about history, literature, local tips. Not only that, they also coordinated any changes and kept us informed. Over 11 days, we were never delayed due to them. They made our trip extra special and want to extend a big Thank you to them. I would highly recommend them for anyone....

Overall, a memorable trip, thanks to Khaled and his team to make the Egypt experience so full of heart . Thank you Khaled, Mohammad Gawish, Hamda, Mohtaz, Walid, Omar and Mohammad (Jimmy)

Everything about the trip was incredible! Khaled, our travel specialist, worked diligently with me to customize and provide exactly what we wanted to experience. He was very helpful before we arrived and checked in with us during our trip.

We were met at the Cairo airport by Samara, a tourl leader guide, who made us feel very welcomed and well taken care of as he guided us through submitting our Visas and being admitted into Egypt. He took us to our hotel and twice more during our trip helped us go through security at the airport. What great customer service!

We were very fortunate to have two amazing top level guides, Yasser and Omar. Both had backgrounds in Egyptology and were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the information they gave us. They brought the past alive for us! Yasser guided us through the pyramids, the GEM (Grande Egyptian Museum), old Cairo for a tour of religious sites, and introduced us to some Egyptian cuisine. We spent a few nights aboard a small, luxurious boat on the Nile. During the day Omar led us through many historic areas in the Aswan and Luxor areas like Abu Simbel Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Luxor Temples. Did you know perfume was invented in Egypt?

The people of Egypt are lovely and this company is incredible. We highly recommend them!!

One final note: despite some broader concerns about travel in that area of the world, we personally felt completely safe the entire time. It did not affect our experience in any way.

The scenery was absolutely stunning!!! It was so interesting to see the landscape change as we drove from Cairo--with farms growing lush trees, to black sand, to beige sand, to quartz rock, to white, white rock formations. We loved getting out and exploring the landscape. We had fun 4x4 driving up and down sand dunes and even tried sand boarding down smooth sand dune hills. Crystal Mountain was disappointing. The crystals were apparently removed from the park 100 years ago, despite marketing pictures of large crystals coming out ot the ground. Despite this, the other landscapes absolutely made up for it! We went to some hotspring pools which we didn't know existed in the desert. We got no information enroute (their driver may have told our guide who didn't translate that information) that the expectation was for us to go in them. As the only woman there and many Arab men, that wasn't going to happen. Eventually two other women came and we sat on the side of the pool and put our feet in. Weird experience in the hot desert. The marketing photos of the camps were be very different than the reality. We saw photos of a large canvas tent with a queen bed or two double beds surrounded by hanging lights and ornate tapestries embroidered in gold with hanging green plants. There were also different pictures of a group of small portable western style backpacker's tents. We stayed in a more utilitarian permanent cabin with mismatched furniture and no decoration. There was air conditioning but the power went out in the middle of the night and it became very hot. The bedding and towels were white and clean. It was basic and ok to stay in, but not what was depicted in the photos.

Food
Lunch was pasta with tomato sauce (bland), french fries, some chicken (we think) covered in a stale tasting batter, some spicy pickles (yummy), and a bit of cucumber, tomato and carrot slices (good). Dinner, however, was delicious with chicken, rice, and salad. Breakfast was basic with some cheese, fresh pita, condiments, halvah and tea or instant coffee.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
We had 2 different drivers that didn't speak any English. The first used a translator option on his phone to talk about the natural hot, warm, and cold water they accessed beneath the desert. Interesting!

The vehicles were very clean inside and we enjoyed Arabic music playing as we drove. It seemed fitting!

Our private guide, Yasser, did an amazing job of educating us about the Coptic Christians who reportedly hid Jesus and his family in the church we toured. We also toured the Citadel Mosque that Mohammed Ali built and the American boxer was named after. We entered a Jewish Synagogue and learned there are only a tiny number of Jews left in Egypt. We learned 90% of Egyptians are Sunni Muslims and 10% Coptic Christians. After lunch we walked through some touristy shopping areas where we saw small and larger items to buy. I got an Ankh (key of life) to put on a necklace.

Honestly as a woman I wondered before we arrived what the heck was so special about a dam. Learning about how much it fundamentally changed life for modern Egyptians was really interesting, as was seeing it was built like a mountain. I really enjoyed it! We also learned about the Philae Temple being moved brick by brick in the 70's in order to save it before the dam water covered it. Incredible feat of engineering! (There's some graffiti created by Napolean when he etched his name on the wall of the temple!) The story of the goddess Isis and her marriage to her brother Osiris was brought alive by our guide, Omar, as we walked through Philae Temple.

We got there early before the crowds and were able to get some really good pictures.

We were totally satisfied with our trip arranged by kimkim and Egypt Promotion Travel. This was the first time we used kimkim. We did a 14-day tour with a Nile cruise and a extension trip to Jordan for Petra and the Dead Sea with Egypt Promotion Travel. Amr tailored our trip to our desires. We saw all the sights we went to see. We appreciated the friendly and helpful agents that assisted us with each transfer. We had no issues with any transfer and were pleased with the provided 4/5-star lodging. We also enjoyed the guides and drivers, The guides were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The drivers knew how to get around the various tourist areas and city streets. We enjoyed the individual attention and tailored information of the private tours with a guide for just my wife and I. Tourism was down drastically during our trip due to the ongoing Iran-Israel-US conflict, but we saw no turmoil and felt safe the entire trip.

Visit Karnak Temple and Luxor temple

Egypt

The temples were fantastic. We recommend the balloon excursion but pass on the the Karnak night light show. The light show was disappointing and not worth the cost.
