Sun Pyramids Tours

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!

Our family had an awesome trip to Egypt and Jordan. As a family of 5 (kids aged 16, 14 & 13) we experienced some difficulties securing hotel rooms and had to get involved with larger hotel chains to book ourselves. Otherwise, the planning was excellent and smooth. Our tour guides and drivers were excellent! There was no time during our trip where we felt anything but completely safe and cared for. Mohamed planned every last detail to maximize our experiences with the level of activity that we desired. Everything far exceeded our expectations.

Hotel Reviews

Steigenberger Legacy Nile Cruise

Aswan

I spent two nights on the Nile Cruise in both Luxor and Aswan. The cruise was smooth, the tour guides were great, and the experience was enjoyable. The activities on the cruise were well-organized, and I particularly enjoyed the trip to Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples. Overall, a fantastic experience on the Nile Cruise.

Petra Moon Hotel

Wadi Musa

I had a one-night stay at Petra Moon Luxury Hotel and it was a pleasant experience. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and conveniently located for exploring Petra. The staff was friendly, and the amenities were good. A decent place to stay for a short visit to Petra.

Aladdin Camp

Wadi Rum, Aqaba

The visit to Petra and the subsequent stay at the Camp was a seamless transition. Exploring the ancient city of Petra followed by a night at the camp in Wadi Rum offered a blend of history and nature. A well-coordinated itinerary for a memorable experience.

Activity Review

Private Felucca Ride at Nile with Lunch (Nile Pharaoh)

Egypt

The private Felucca Ride on the Nile with lunch was a serene and picturesque experience. Sailing on the Nile while enjoying a delicious meal was a highlight of my trip. The peaceful ambiance and scenic views made it a memorable outing.

What a trip! From the first planning stages till the last day of the trip, everything was as close to perfect as possible. Habiba Mohamed from Sun Pyramids Tours planned the trip for me after I mentioned what I thought I might like to see. 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!

Very satisfied with services from driver, airport pickup/drop off, tour guides in Cairo and Nile Cruise.

This was our first time booking through Kimkim so we didn’t know what to expect. The trip was complicated because it included three countries each with different local specialists: Egypt, UAE, Jordan. Mohamed did an amazing job working with me to get us the tour we wanted. For example, we added the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza and the Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi.

Our Cairo tour was excellent. Our tour guide Dalia was both knowledgeable and compassionate. She took time to take pictures of us as we visited the different sites. She even captured the pyramids from the Citadel. Dalia also organized the visit so we avoided most of the crowds and traffic. The driver was highly skilled and helpful.

The sunset on the rooftop restaurant before the sound and light show at the pyramids was magical. The felucca boat trip on the Nile was unforgettable. The Grand Egyptian Museum was well worth adding to our tour. Finally, I appreciated the SIM card which made communication seamless.

Another Mohamed did an excellent job guiding us around the sites in Luxor. We were able to see the important sites in a packed 24 hours.

In UAE, our tour of Dubai was very comprehensive. The driver had a comfortable van and was very punctual. He kindly provided water and even gave us 10 AED so we could take the boat to the Old Souq at our first stop since we hadn’t converted any money yet. The best part was that Navas worked with us to customize our tour so that we didn’t have to spend more time than we wanted at any one site.

We visited in high season so there was plenty of traffic and a long line at the Burj Khalifa. Unfortunately, we were also booked for a visit at 10 PM which made for a long day. The Palm monorail tickets were not included so be prepared for 30 AED round trip if you want to go to Atlantis.

We also did a day tour of Abu Dhabi. The highlight for us was the Louvre Museum and the Qasar al Watan palace. It was great that we could customize our visit so we didn’t spend time in places we didn’t want to visit.
In Jordan, we were only able to visit Petra. Both Oqba who drove us to Petra and Ali who guided us around were highly knowledgeable. We learned more about the history of Jordan than any other country we visited. The natural beauty of Petra was amazing. Ali took us off the normal tourist path to show us the colorful rock formations. He is also an expert photographer and took outstanding pictures.

In conclusion we would definitely use Kimkim again for another trip.
