We really had a great trip with Kimkim and Sun Pyramids! Mohammed was terrific for helping me plan this trip and was 100% well-planned and on top of everything while we were there. Any small problem was taken very seriously! The local guides were all wonderful and informative and fun. The Egyptian people, across the board, were friendly and fun. It always felt very safe ! As an American Woman I was a little nervous but now want to spread the news that Egypt is awesome!Thank you Mohammed!

I am not a cruise person but I loved this one. We had terrific and fun service and the room ( we had a larger suite) was great! I really enjoyed the cruise and would do that again! There were only a handful of patrons and so that made it seem very private. Our tour guide Milad from Sun Pyramids went along and guided us every day. Cool system!

This one is a 6! Everyone from the check-in, transport, dive shop and restaurant was amazing! Beautiful accommodations and service. We would definitely hope to come back when the weather is a tad warmer. This was the very best food on our trip-

Cleanliness & Comfort
The hotel was amazingly clean. I was disturbed on the first day by trash in the ocean on house reef and washed up on shore, We picked up a lot of plastic during our first dive. I am sure they do the best possible to keep it clean but that was a bummer. The other dive sites were better but still had some trash.
Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

This was a hotel that we stayed at 2 separate nights to include a desert tour. The first night was not good. The check-in took 45 mins and our room was tiny and low and a bit dated. We could not get into the hotel lounge and barely got to our room for the sunset, only to find the tiny balcony was locked. While I understand the safety concerns, they should have the bell hop take care of this at time of arrival rather than having us call ( and wait) for separate help, On our second night, we ordered room service and it never came! it turned out they had been knocking repeatedly on another door and blamed us for not answering! When we asked for the order to be resent- they did it again! On our second night, I Sun Pyramids asked them to upgrade us to a better room for our trouble. The suite was great, as was the view of the Nile. Throughout, however, this was the only place we felt like a bother and did not experience the friendliness and service that was excellent throughout the rest of Egypt. The exception was the pool area. They were very nice.

This is a tour of a lifetime! We loved it but would have enjoyed a bit more time with the spinx and meditating at the pyramids. I did not particularly like spending time taking silly tourist pics which you are basically forced to do by photographers looking for tips..

Lifetime dream come true.

the local food places were not the very best. OK though.

This one was on a day when I was feeling poorly with jet lag. I am sure that is why it did not thrill me as much as the other days.
