Dec 26 - Jan 4, 2026
We had a fantastic ten day holiday in Egypt put together by Amr at Egypt Promotion Travel through Kimkim. We were also supported so well when we were there by all the reps, tour guides and drivers who made us feel like we were in safe hands throughout. We started and ended in Cairo and had an overnight stay in the White Desert and a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan in between. We saw all the top sights we were hoping to see and so much more. Particular highlights were the pyramids, Karnak Temple, the GEM, a hot air balloon ride over Luxor and our day and overnight camping stay in the White Desert. We learnt so much more and had such an enriching experience by having wonderful private tour guides who were clearly very knowledgeable and friendly too. Having only ten days to see so much was only possible due to the clever itinerary put together for us by Amr which was ably supported by the team when we were there. During our stay, when we made a last minute request for the hot air balloon ride, Amr helped sort this out too and effectively reorganised the day's itinerary for us. He was very helpful and responded promptly to messages during the planning process and throughout our holiday too. It was reassuring to know that we were always supported even when we were there.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Egypt and would highly recommend kimkim as a way to achieve a great holiday there.

Activity Reviews
Absolutely wonderful day spent seeing sights we had dreamed of seeing. Loved Sakkara and found it to be a very special place, not as many crowds. The camel ride by the pyramids at Giza was a fantastic experience and we couldn't get enough of seeing the pyramids!
Valley of the Kings an absolutely wonderful experience. Having our very knowledgeable guide Jamal added to our enjoyment and knowledge immensely.
Our Edfu Temple visit was with guide Mina and Kom Ombo Temple visit was with his equally knowledgeable and friendly brother, Michael. We much appreciated having their expertise during our visits.
Philae Temple and Aswan High Dam well worth visiting.
The GEM was one of the highlights of our trip to Cairo. We were very ably supported and guided by our private tour guide Yahya throughout the day. His incredible wealth of knowledge and friendly manner added to our enjoyment and learning immensely. We had our friendly driver Abdullah again and he seamlessly transported us from one sight to another. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful Citadel and Old Cairo too including visits to the Jewish synagogue and the Koptic church.
An outstanding temple to visit with amazing sights. Our knowledge, ease and enjoyment was added to by having our private guide Jamal throughout.
Not to be missed - well worth our early plane ride to visit it. Great to have a private guide who added to our enjoyment and knowledge.
Our disembarkation of the boat went well and was very smooth.
Stunning scenery and amazing experience all round. Particularly will remember camping out in the desert, dancing beneath the stars, sand boarding and sunset in the desert - just magical.
We had a great experience here made even more so by our very knowledgeable guide Jamal. He expanded our understanding of the significance of what we were seeing.
