Sun Pyramids Tours

Great and well organized trip. Everyone in every process was respectful and the activities were top notch. Will recommend to anyone.

This was again a great planning by KimKim and associated team. Door to door pickups and drops, English speaking guides that helped us translate from Arabic, as well as experts in Ancient Egyptian monuments and artifacts. Visited Cairo, Aswan and Luxor and we were amazed by remains of the ancient culture. I wonder what it would be when everything was intact.
If was unfortunate that so much effort had been made to destroy everything in the past but now the government has taken strict measures to protect everything. Got a lot of clarity on the ancient Egyptian Gods and the relationship between them which was my interest area. The Temples selected for us were amazing and my personal favorites were Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu temple. Our best experience was with the driver Omar in Aswan, who had taken an extra effort to make the car comfortable and the our guide in Aswan and Luxor - Ahmad who was so professional and knowledgeable.

Would have liked to give 5 stars but had to take one out, because the step pyramid in Sakkara was one of the main things we wanted to visit and we had mentioned that in the planning as well , but the guide assigned to us insisted that we do not go there despite our reminding a few times and only agreed to show us from far. I would suggest Sun Pyramids to choose guides carefully and see if they are using the funds allocated to them as they were intended to. Yes, there was a separate ticket for the step pyramid and later I guessed this might be the reason. And he was insisting that we take a horse carriage near the great pyramids that we did not even want to do and pay a big price separately (which was a lot more than the the ticket for step pyramid) for that which we eventually did not take.

Amazing trip - everything was seamless with informative and friendly guides and expert coordination by Aya ! Hany was especially great during our visits to Aswan, Luxor, and Nile cruise!

This was a trip of a lifetime. I connected with Mohammed and Armia through KimKim travel and they proposed a package that included everything we wanted to see and took us to Jordan to see Petra. It was under our budget and everything was included accept international airfare. Mohammed was easy to work with and communicated excellently. We flew to Cairo and Kariem met us. He was very helpful and just a great employee. We came to love him like a son. He took us to our hotel and met us many times on our trip. He even spent the day with us at the big bazaar in Cairo. Karom was our main guide in Cairo and was very knowledgeable. He took us to GEM, the pyramids and to some mosques and churches. Very easy to get along with and He met me everyday with Voke Zero to fill my needs. We had a driver in Cairo named Mohammed and we felt as safe as we could with the crazy Cairo drivers. Mohammed got us everywhere safely and was easy to get along with. We spent a few days in Cairo and then flew to Luxor to meet our cruise. Kareem took us to the airport and was on time with great communication. We were met in Luxor by Ahmed who was out guide on the cruise and on shore tours. He was fantastic and another highlight of our trip. He was super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. He took us to Karnak, Luxor Temple and Abu Simbel. It was a fantastic time and exceeded expectations. Ahmed took us to a local market and we stopped at a local Cafe and experienced Shisha. It was a greatcway to get to know him and meet some local people. We enjoyed every minute with him and the cruise was perfectly timed in our trip. After the cruise ended we flew back to Cairo. Kariem met us and drove us to our hotel. We met up with Karom and finished our Cairo portion of our trip. He suggested we add on the Civilization museum and that was fantastic. 62 mummies laid out gracefully. It was a highlight! Mohammed drove us around again and was exceptional. Kariem picked us up to fly to Jordan. We were met there by the airport assistant Hossam who handled our visas and got us through customs. We were picked up by our driver Tayseer and Freddie our guide and seeing some of the sights in Amman. We were off in the afternoon to Petra with Freddie and Tayseer. It was a long drive but we got to the hotel and got some sleep. I loved riding in Tayseers BVD hybrid car! We were off to Petra in the morning. It was amazing. Beautiful site and great experience. Freddie was fun to visit with and very knowledgeable. Afterwards we drive to Wadi Rum and went clamping in a tent. It was a beautiful ending yo a great trip. We flew from Amman to Cairo and surprisingly Kariem picked us up at 930. He took us to a hotel where we didn't have time to sleep but could shower and relax for an hour. We then caught the shuttle at 1am and started the long flight home. ✈️. It was a well planned trip with people that were kind and caring. We felt safe and secure and well cared for. I can't thank everybody enough! I hope i didn't leave anybody out!

Our trip to Egypt was incredible. Habiba did an amazing job planning. From the accommodations to the sites and activities to the fantastic guides she set us up with, all of it made for a truly unforgettable trip. We had the best time with our guides Sam, Mustafa, and Ahmed. All of them were very knowledgeable about the sites and were happy to answer any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend KimKim to friends and family and will certainly use it again for future trips.

All guides and drivers were excellent and on time. Of note, Hassan was so good and helpful for Debbie and a fountain of Information. Please past that along to him. Osama and Besette (wrong spelling, 25 year old lady) were also very good. We so enjoyed being with all of them. The Great Royal Pyramid Inn was a very nice place to stay, clean, great service and wonderful view of the Pyramids. As Debbie said, the Alma ship on the Nile was a disappointment in the food and room/bathroom conditions. I would not recommend using this ship again until issues (sewer gas and diesel fuel odors) are fixed. Over all, we had a great time!

Your service and communications were wonderful as well. I’m sure we will go on another KimKim tour.

This was our first time in Egypt. I worked with Kim Kim travel to organize and customize our trip. The service was outstanding. The original itinerary although well thought out wasn’t a 100% of what we wanted. We contact Aya with the changes, she was completely responsive and made all the changes so we could have a completely customized agenda. Kim Kim travel representative Aya did an outstanding job. Whenever I contacted her she got right back to me. It seems she works 24 hours a day.
During our time in Cairo, she was always available and checking in to make sure that things were going well. Any glitches she immediately corrected. I can’t say enough about her service and attention to detail.

Upon arriving in Cairo we were met by Osama, and we were fortunate enough to have Osama as our Tour Guide in Cairo towards the end of our trip as well. He has a genuine love for Egypt and an incredible knowledge regarding the history of Cairo and the history of Egypt in general. Aside from his sincere love for his country and ability to flawlessly instill his knowledge he is a most delightful individual and a joy to be around.
Sam, another one of our guides while we were in Cairo is a wealth of information and sincerely cares about his tour groups. We toured the GEM, the pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and a full day trip in Alexandrea with him. Sam is another outstanding Tour Guide and Egyptologist, with a wealth acknowledge and a true love of his country He has a sincere respect for other cultures and is fun to be around. We purchased custom made rugs, which will take several months to manufacture. Sam has offered to stay in touch with us and the manufacturer until the job is completed to our satisfaction.

Mansour was our guide on the river, Nile cruise and in Luxor and Aswan. Mansour is a very special person and also an Egyptologist with a superior knowledge of Aswan and Luxor, not only from a historical perspective but seems to know all the hidden gems of the cities as well, not to mention he seems to know everyone in both cities. What a joy it was spending a few days with him, I cannot say enough about Mansour he such a wonderful person.

I don’t remember all our drivers names, but they were all terrific as well , respectful and accommodating.

In February, 2026 our family of six adults toured Egypt on an itinerary put together with Habiba.
kimkim has a set itinerary for each country for a set number of days, typically seven or fourteen days. The client then has the opportunity to modify the itinerary to suit their needs.
Habiba worked with us to develop the tour that satisfied our requests and desires. After the initial contact with each other she set about making up an itinerary. Once we received it we began the long process of giving ideas to her which lead to new itineraries. This process went on until we were happy with the itinerary. We then paid our deposit and waited. Habiba handled all of the paperwork at her end to make sure all the tickets and passes were ready for us. Even as the trip was almost ready to begin our daughter made a request to see another site not originally part of the itinerary and Habiba was able to find a time to work it into the new itinerary. We were happy with the final itinerary and with Habiba for how she was always pleasant and eager to come up with a memorable family vacation.
We had asked for a private tour for the six of us and while this option was more expensive than a group tour we were more comfortable having our own private 12 seater Toyota van accompanied by our driver and guide.
In Cairo our guide Osama and driver Ahmed picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel. We had asked Habiba to select a hotel with more character than hotels favoured by Americans and she suggested Le Riad Hotel de Charme on El Moez Street. It was a terrific choice! Most tourists want to visit the historic sites which are fabulous but what really makes Egypt memorable is the chaos and that was on full display on El Moez. It is exciting and exhilarating and if you don't experience it then you haven't seen Egypt.
Our guide for the Pyramids and mosques and temples over the next three days was Mahmoud who was passionate about his country and history and caring about us in answering our questions.
We were driven to Alexandria by Ahmed to spend a night then boarded a sleeper train in the following evening to go to Aswan. The sleeper car had been recently refurbished and was quite comfortable. A dining car on the train would have made the experience even better but it was still quite good,
We had chosen a somewhat remote hotel across the river from Aswan but Habiba made sure to have a company representative meet us at the train station and escort us to and from the hotel which was an adventure in itself. The hotel was called Kato Dool Resort and it was terrific!
Aswan is the most scenic of the cities we visited although the Corniche in Alexandria is beautiful.
Eslam was our guide in Aswan and he was very knowledgeable about the various sites we explored. He helped us board our river boat for the cruise down the Nile and then met us Kom Ombo and Luxor for other temple tours. Kom Ombo was disappointing in that it was extremely busy with many cruise boats all arriving at the same time creating a crush of tourists all trying to see the wonderful temple but being pressured to hurry because so many other people were waiting.
We were told by Eslam the scheduling culprit is the government but it is unfortunate we felt so pressured and we didn't get to fully appreciate the temple.
Luxor has two wonderful temples but again I feel we weren't given enough time to get the full experience there.
The cruise boat was very nice with a good buffet for each meal and the cabin was comfortable.
One of the pleasant surprises of the tour was watching the boat vendors tie up to the cruise boat while underway and start selling their wares. That was quite fun to watch.
We were driven to Hurghada to stay in an all-inclusive resort which was very, very nice!
The next day was our snorkeling day, a terrific day out on the Red Sea with some beautiful coral and tropical fish to admire. We were very pleased with this activity however the next day was a big disappointment.
It was our safari day and it was not what was advertised. My advice to kimkim and any potential traveler is to skip this activity, it is a very obvious tourist trap and does nothing to enhance the Egyptian experience. kimkim, stop offering this activity!
With that bad taste still in our mouth the next day we boarded a plane to Cairo for our final two days. We lodged at the Steigenberger Hotel in El Tahrir, a departure from the character hotels but we wanted to be in a different part of the city this time.
We had booked a food tour which was advertised as an eight hour event but because of Ramadan it got shortened and then substituted with a city lights tour conducted by Osama. This tour was enjoyable enough but we had expected a full food tour for the foodies in our family so it was a bit disappointing we couldn't have it. My advice to kimkim and any agent working on itineraries is to not offer the food tour during Ramadan.
So then it was time to leave and once again Osama was our guide to the airport. With our goodbyes came the end of the trip.
Many thanks to Habiba and all the drivers and guides who helped us realize a very memorable vacation.

Le Riad Hotel de Charme

Cairo

Le Riad de Charme in Cairo is a very nice hotel with beautiful suites. However, it is situated in a noisy spot in the center of El Moez Street. If you choose to stay here, be prepared for the noise, but the location is exciting, and the restaurant serves good food with excellent service.

Steigenberger El Tahrir in Cairo was a very nice hotel. It was more quiet than our previous accommodations, and it offered an excellent breakfast, probably the best of the whole trip.

Everything went perfectly. I was picked up at the airport and then hardly had to worry about anything. Amir has a very good knowledge of history, which he conveyed in excellent English. The excursion to Alexandria then nicely expanded this knowledge with Greco-Roman history. The hotel in Cairo was very well located, clean, and had very polite staff. The breakfast was ample and varied.
The flight to Aswan and the pick-up there went smoothly. My guide's English wasn't great, but he more than made up for it with his attentiveness. The tours always started very early, which suited me perfectly as it allowed me to avoid the tourist crowds and the high sun. The hotel in Aswan was excellent.
The hotel in Luxor had a wonderful garden overlooking the Nile. Unfortunately, I only got a room facing the street, which meant I could never open the window. The street was simply too noisy. I must also mention Omar in Luxor, who took excellent care of all my needs and was always there to help and advise me.
The transfer to Hurghada was a bit odd. The seats were covered in plastic, but there were two exhaust pipes in the trunk without any protective coverings. As a result, my luggage was dirty after the journey. However, the resourceful cleaning staff at the hotel in Hurghada took care of it. The hotel itself was very quiet and relaxing. My only slight disappointment was that they only offered Italian cuisine. When I travel abroad, I like to experience the local dishes... But the staff was great, the hotel was clean, and it was right on the beach.
All in all, a fantastic trip. I would recommend it without hesitation. Many thanks to the whole team.

Abu Simbel Temple

Aswan

I at least learned what the Egyptian way is, and that it doesn't necessarily work :D - I find even information like that super interesting. Background: the road to Abu Simbel is closed until 5 a.m., and a long queue forms. That's something that could perhaps be improved. Otherwise, it was a beautiful drive through the desert. The field systems in the desert, fed by the Nile, are also fascinating. Abu Simbel was a bit crowded for my liking, but we made the best of it.
