The country of so many world records was very interesting! We had a blast doing the X Line Zipline (which we added to our itinerary a couple of days before we arrived)! Definitely recommend for those on the more adventurous side!

We would also recommend going up to the top of the Burj Khalifa! Great views from that high!

We also really enjoyed the desert safari and paid extra for a more adventurous ride on the quad bikes which was worth the experience! Our guide for the evening was great! And the desert dinner and entertainment was enjoyable.

While the canal luxury cruise offered us awesome views of Dubai and great photos, we thought the food was just average, and was expecting a little better quality.
Our hotel, the Revier Dubai Hotel, was great! Very nice room and amenities. Loved to fitness center and the breakfast buffet was awesome! Wide variety and very good!

For things we felt needed improvement, real time communication had been a little difficult. Responses to questions or communication regarding pickup times came in when we were sleeping and because of that, we didn’t receive the change of plans/timing until the morning which threw us off a bit. Also, confirmation on adding additional itinerary items (example: adding the zip line) was a little slow. And, there seemed to be issues between the drivers and the tour office on pickup times, etc. We also arrived way too early in the evening for the dinner cruise, and had to just walk around in the heat which we did not enjoy. I would have preferred to be dropped off closer to our departure time. Finally, while a lot of things were air-conditioned, if we had had flexibility in our travel dates, I would have not wanted to visit in the middle of August when the temperatures were extremely high and made our trip more exhausting. I would definitely recommend visiting when it’s cooler! Unfortunately for this trip we didn’t have that flexibility.

All in all, our experiences in Dubai made it a memorable trip!

What a trip! From the first planning stages till the last day of the trip, everything was as close to perfect as possible.

She made some suggestions that I agreed upon and she also communicates very well and I was always kept up to date. My trip included Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. Hotels were arranged as well as in- country flights. But the best part was the guides and drivers. Habiba arranged them for me...I was met at airports, hotels and returned and always on time. the guides are a special breed. They all seemed to be "Egyptologists" having gone to school to learn more about their country and its history. Great detail, knowledge and passion from all of them. Special mention in Cairo to Ahmed Ibrahim, in Luxor to Ahmed Amin and in Aswan, Ahmed Amin. These men were personable, had great English skills, but more importantly, they all had a vast knowledge of Egypt, it's history, all the dynasties, periods, individual pharaohs and kings, what they did or did not accomplish during their reign and where they are buried. They are very proud of their country and its civilization. A pleasure to listen to and learn from. And a special mention to my driver in Cairo for a few days, Ahmed Zaher. Driving in Cairo is special as there are really no rules and all the cars dance with each other so closely...you really don't understand why they don't hit each other...but, Ahmed was amazing. An incredible trip planned almost perfectly!

Habiba made the whole planning and booking process extremely easy. She gave us a lot of great options and suggestions and took into consideration the things we did and did not want to do while in Egypt. Overall, the whole planning and booking experience was great. While we did still greatly enjoy the trip and our visit to Egypt, there were a few things that we weren't so happy with.

Our trip began in Cairo. After we landed at the airport, we were able to find our guide easily and he and our driver took us to our hotel. The guide (sorry I can't remember his name!) was very friendly and knowledgeable and told us a lot about Egypt and its history during the one-hour drive to the hotel. We were very impressed with our driver, as well. Cairo traffic is no joke, but he navigated it like a pro.

Our hotel was NOT what we were expecting, though. Great service, but the place simply was not done. Our itinerary said we were staying at the Great Pyramids Inn in Giza which, if you look it up on Tripadvisor, is a beautiful (completely built) hotel with a restaurant/bar on site. The hotel photos that were provided in our itinerary were extremely misleading. A completely different hotel. We were brought to the Royal Great Pyramids Inn (or something like that, Royal Pyramids Inn, I can't remember), which is still under construction. The first 4 floors are still being built and there was construction going on the whole time and there was a lot of dirt and dust from the construction. It looked nothing like the photos. Our room was very pretty and well decorated with a great view of the pyramids, but again, it wasn't finished. There were no towel racks or bars or hooks, nowhere to hang anything. Lots of hangers but no place to hang. We had to set our towels on a small table to dry them. 10 bottles each of shampoo and body wash, but no other toiletries (conditioner, lotion, etc.). The power went out for a little over an hour on our second day. That happens; not a big deal. It made us very hesitant to take the elevator in the building, but the staff insisted that we take the elevator anyway (I think because of all the construction mess on the stairs). The staff was incredibly kind and friendly, so that made it not quite as big of a deal that the hotel was totally different from what we were expecting. We were under the impression that there was a bar and restaurant on site. They did feed us the first night and breakfast was provided, but I would hardly call it a bar/restaurant. They were also surprised to hear that I am a vegetarian, even though I made that clear in our questionnaire before we started planning the trip.

A different guide took us to Cairo Tower the second night for dinner. We were expecting a nice romantic dinner, just the two of us, but our guide actually sat with us the whole time at dinner, and didn't eat anything. He was perfectly nice and pleasant, but it was a bit awkward. It also seemed like there were lots of issues with us getting into the tower and getting dinner because the guide kept having to get up to talk with the restaurant staff, and it took about 20 minutes for him to get our tickets into the tower. We weren't given a menu and were told that our options were chicken or beef. We were told that there were no vegetarian options, even though we noticed on our way out that the menu had plenty of vegetarian options. This was frustrating since I had included the fact that I'm a vegetarian in our questionnaire before we started planning the trip, so I would have hoped that some arrangements would have been made in advance. We also weren't offered any drinks or anything and had to ask for water after we'd been sitting there for a while. We saw after the fact that there were lots of drinks/wine/cocktails, etc. on the menu.

There were a few instances where our guides took us to places that weren't on our itinerary and which we would have expressly declined if we'd known in advance. Eg., we went to a papyrus store to "learn how papyrus is made" but it was really just a high-pressure sales pitch to get us to buy something. We were also taken to a jewelry store and a perfume store. Towards the end of the trip one of the guides pulled up to the front of an alabaster store. We said "we're good here, we don't need to go in" knowing that we'd just be pressured to buy something. I have no problems with these businesses or their sales tactics and I understand they're all just trying to make a living, but I would have appreciated a heads-up that we would be visiting these places. Because we would have said "no thank you." Our trip was jam-packed with sightseeing and we had very little downtime to begin with, so we would have preferred to skip those extra little outings that we didn't ask for.

It also seemed there wasn't clear communication with the timing of our itinerary at times. For example, we took a 3-night Nile Cruise and our itinerary said we would have lunch onboard on the last day before we departed on a 4-hour drive to the next destination. But we actually had to check out of the cruise at 8am that morning so we had to ask our guide to take us somewhere so we could buy lunch before we left.

None of that ruined the trip by any means. We still had a great time and got to see and do all the things we wanted to see and do. All of our guides and drivers were friendly and kind and helpful and, with the exception of the Cairo hotel, our accommodations exceeded our expectations.

We didn't stay here. The place we stayed looked completely different and had a slightly different name (Royal Pyramids in or Royal Great Pyramids Inn). The hotel in the photos is a different place. Our hotel was still under construction and looked nothing like the place in the photos.

Our agent Habiba did a good job of organizing and coordinating our visit to Egypt. She helped us arrange the activities and adjust our schedule so we could see all sights that we wanted in the time we had available. I would recommend using Kim Kim and our agent Habiba to book a trip to Egypt. It made it easy. That said, there was a bit less flexible in hotel choices than I preferred and pricing of the trip was not broken down in the billing, so it was difficult to say if things were a good value.
We were very happy with how Habiba organized our pickup and transport to the hotel at each step of our trip. The guides are well trained in tourism and in Egyptian history. They always had our interest in mind. Mustafa met us each time we arrived in Cairo and made sure we were settled in our room before leaving us in our hotel. This was great as one hotel was over booked and we had to move to a nearby sister hotel.
Our guide to the pyramids and national museum was enthusiastic and patient with us as toured these sites. He offered us the opportunity to visit the additional, fee to access, areas of the pyramids in advance so we had the option to go. We had sufficient time to see what we wanted. The only suggestion I have was to schedule the national museum at the end of the day or give an actual ticket to the guest so they can re-enter after the tour, if possible. There is so much to see and our hotel was next door. It would have been nice to just sit and observe or slowly walk around until closing. Th citadel and Coptic area were included in the tour day. I was not that interested but these sites but they were well worth the time. The meals served during the day were excellent. Portions were ample and good quality. They were served banquet style or in a restaurant. I would suggest following Habiba’s suggestion to staying at the Steigenberger if you want something cleaner and non smoking. We stayed at the Cleopatra which is advertised as a bit less but everyone smokes in the lobby, we could smell cigarette smoke in our nonsmoking room which came equipped with an ash tray 😂. We stayed 3 nights in Cairo near Tahrir square. We had some time in the evening to stroll across the Nile bridge, have local food at a night market, attend a cheese festival, and talk with locals. We left early (3am) to continue our trip to Aswan, our driver was right on time.
We took a small cruise vessel (10 passenger), the Nuut Dahabiya, from Aswan to Luxor. It was excellent, the highlight of our trip. Very peaceful in the Nile, great air quality after visiting Cairo. Our guide, Ehab, was very kind and patiently explained the history of the sites we visited. His English was excellent. He stayed with us on the cruise ship, so we had opportunities to talk at night about the food and culture. We visited interesting sites during the day, a granite quarry, a sandstone quarry, Komboku, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Karnak, other sites and museums. Ehab was very flexible and accommodated our schedule by adjusting tour times to let us have more time at our hotel in the morning and tour in the afternoon as we had an evening flight to Cairo. We stayed at the Iberotal Luxor. It was excellent. Has a good breakfast and good food and beer at the pool.
We stayed the last night at the Great Pyramids Inn across from the new Grand Museum. We had breakfast over looking the pyramids. This is a new hotel which was not completed but they have some rooms open. The staff was excited to see us and provided us with an excellent breakfast. They were eager to please.
Driver was right on time to take us back to the airport and we left satisfied with our trip.
The only reason I did not put amazing for the rating was because there were a few hiccups. Overall this was a trip of a lifetime, thank you Habiba and Kim Kim.

The guides were highly qualified and interesting. We would like to highlight the tour guide we had on our Nile Cruise 'Ahmed Moussa' for his easy going and friendly behavior while sharing and explaining tons of knowledge and answering all our questions.
Altogether we enjoyed the trip very much but the Hotel in Hurghada was definitely not the right choice for us as it was not that clean in our room. Also it is made for families rather with children which is not too enjoyable for a couple.
We quite regreted a bit that we were planning to go from Aswan to Hurghada by car as it was a very long ride.
We would also like to mention that our Airline lost our suitcase when we first arrived in Egypt and Habiba was very helpful and tried to call them and organise it back to us. Unfortunately the luggage is still missing but we definitely could count on Habibas help!

Hurghada

Altough it is a very nice and huge hotel with beautiful decoration, the rooms are not even close to the ones on their website. The rooms on the ground floor the poorest ones, with not only super basic furniture, but also hygienic problems and canalisation smell. We had to ask several times for for a new room, which was better, but still not as on their website. It is more a quantity then a quality place, which might be a good fit for certain families with children, but not for anyone with higher standards (eventough we didn't expect western standards there)
