Where do I begin on how to describe what an amazing trip that was planned by Habiba. All of my desires and expectations were beyond met. I have done extensive research on tour agencies that provide tours in Egypt as well asked ones who has toured Egypt, their references. It was fate to pick KimKim, and work with Habiba. I wanted a seasoned Egyptologist and I received 2 passionate and well educated tour guides, Mary in Cairo and Adele who cruised with us up the Nile. Our party of five could not stop thanking me for putting the trip together because I am usually the one that does. I had to tell them I picked the right tour agency and they did the rest. The accommodations where not 4 stars, they were 5 stars. From the hotels in Cairo, to the cruise ship where exceptional. They were clean, great service and delicious food.
There was a change to our itinerary close to the last minute when we added Abu Simbel. We had a late flight returning to Cairo from Aswan and my son had and early flight out, Habiba changed reservations to at a hotel close to the airport and was able to get late check out for the ones who did not have an early flight.
Put your trust in KimKim and Habiba because all of the fusing and wringing my hands, wondering how turnout would be was a waste of time.

Hotel Reviews
MS Nile Premium
Luxor

Was concerned about what the cruise ship because there are so many to choose from.. Such a beautiful ship and staff, my relatives that were with me was never on a cruise, so this was their introduction. They were concerned about sea sickness, the food choices, etc. We were all pleased with the MS Nile Premium. It is a small ship with I believe 56 rooms so not the size of Carnival or Norwegian cruise lines. The service was impeccable and the food absolutely delicious. The buffet had good choice options and each night there was different selection for their carving table. Veal and duck was my favorite, they must have knew. We relaxed on the top deck while cruising the Nile and enjoyed tea time. The guest were international, we met guest from Spain, Australia, Italy and every group had their personal tour guide that cruised on the ship as well.

The Cairo Tower is good for the few of Cairo , the food was good too but the restaurant needs updating. I would compare it to a local American restaurant like Olive Tree.
