Welcome to Egypt Habibi! - Samara and Mustapha and Ebrahim have been exceptional. They were genuinely kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable of Egyptian history and courageously managed our group tour (14 women). After just 3 days they felt like old friends. They provided a great introduction to this beautiful and ancient country. I would recommend them 1,000 percent!

I had a really good time - My Egypt tour wouldn’t have been memorable without my tour guide Mohammed(Samara). I had a great time. Samara made sure we were comfortable to the last, I wished I could stay longer but I will visit Egypt again.

Truly memorable vacation! - We booked Egypt Promotions through Kim Kim travel. Our itinerary was well planned although a breakdown of the costs (hotel, airfare, tours etc.) was not made available. The ground staff, notably tour leader Samara, Cairo tour guide Randa and Aswan and Luxor tour guide Ahmed were highly knowledgeable and just stellar! The attention to detail and private unhurried tour experiences made our holiday unforgettable and memorable. We decided to purchase the Hot Air Balloon tour in Luxor on our own. Samara, Randa and Ahmed went above and beyond to make sure we had a amazing time in Egypt. By the way, for travelers worried about safety, my daughter and I felt very safe in Egypt and even walked down Al-Muizz Street without a guide!

Citytrip Cairo - 2024 - We had a very good citytrip Cairo - Alexandrie (4 days - 5 nights). Egypt Promotion organised all our day trips very good. We had a very good private driver and guid so that we could visit a lot during our short stay in the region in a safe way. Christine Vanachter - Michael Wallace (Belgium). April 2024
