We booked a private tour where Nadier came to great us at the airport and made sure we were checked in safely. Esraa took us through Cairo, Giza and Alexandria. She did an amazing job explaining the sites and history behind them, she is also great at taking photos in the most unique places. Heba was our tour guide in Luxor and she showed us the city through a local point of view. She planned the days accordingly to our wants and needs. Sammeh was our tour guide in Aswan where he showed incredible hospitality. We got to see the major sites as well as fun activities. All guides went above and beyond to showcase their love for their country, the culture and the history. Each guide was very accommodating and flexible in terms of what you want to see and do as well as what they think is best for you. Merihan did and amazing job coordinating the trip throughout all the cities and with each guide. She made sure we were taken care of at each location. She joined us each mooring on the days in lower Egypt to give us a rundown of the day and even joined us on some of the days. Be prepared for the crazy and hectic traffic and if you get motion sick in cars. Bring bug spray or buy some there because the mosquitoes are very different compared to America. If you want to relax on your vacation make sure to add a few extra days because most of the days have a very early start if you want to see everything. Make sure to try the local falafel, koshari, ice cream and fresh sugar cane juice! Shopping is definitely a fun adventure, you will find similar keep sakes throughout the entire country. Overall we loved booking through Kemet because of the personal private experience and the incredible kindness and hospitality showed to us. We hope to visit Egypt again and hope Kemet expands their travel company to other countries!

My friend and I went on a 4 nights Nile cruise to Luxor and Aswan. We had a fantastic dedicated tour guide for us who guided us in Japanese. We enjoyed each visit to temples and sites with a deeper understanding of history after the visits. The cruise ship was decent with hospitable staff too. We felt that the quality of services we have received was much more than what we have paid for. I would love to join other tours offered by Kemet Travel also!

My daughter used Kemet Travel in the past for a lengthy trip, and based on her excellent experience, she decided to take us (74 and 77 years) on a private trip.
With the help of the Kemet team, and above all Montasser, we visited Luxor/Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Dendera and Abydos; took a dahabiya from Esna to Aswan, marvelled at the beauty of Abu Simbel, before heading to Cairo to see the pyramids and soak up the vast city's atmosphere. We had a fantastic time despite very hot weather, and also want to extend our special thanks to our guide Nagla, who not only guided us in German, but who translated the information into English in order for my daughter's partner not to feel left out. Warmest thanks from Berlin!
Unsere Tochter ist vor einigen Jahren mit Kemet durch Aegypten gereist, und aufgrund der tollen Erfahrung, hatte sie fuer uns eine Privatreise organisiert. Mit der Hilfe des kemet Teams und vor allem Montasser, haben wir die Tempel in Luxor und Karnak besucht, das Tal der Koenige, Dendera und Abydos; sind mit einem Dahabiya von Esna nach Assuan den Nil 'runter geschippert, haben die Schoenheit von Abu Simbel bewundert, und als kroenenden Abschluss in Kairo haben wir die Pyramiden besucht und die Atmosphaere und das organisierte Chaos der Metropole aufgesogen. Spezieller Dank gilt unserer exzellenten Reisefuehrerin Nagla, die nicht nur Deutsch sprach, sondern das ganze dann nochmal fuer den Lebensgefaehrten unserer Tochter ins Englsiche uebersetzte. Ein grosses Dankeschoen aus Berlin!

My first trip to Egypt was soon before Covid. I had searched the Internet for the most highly reviewed small travel company out there, and Kemet topped the list. They helped me plan and execute a myriad of details that time, and in almost three weeks of travel on my own all over the place, everything went off without a hitch.

When I decided to return to Egypt with a group of friends this year, of course, I immediately contacted my old friends, Monty and Randa at Kemet!

Once again Kemet was terrific! They attended to every item on the list, airport pick-up and drop-off, four different hotels in and outside of Cairo, tours, transportation, dinner plans, PCR testing…..you name it! One of the people in the group texted Kemet just before getting on the plane in New York, asking someone to stop at a drug store to pick up something she had forgotten. To tell you just how fabulous their service, Monty, the owner of Kemet, met her at the plane with the requested curling iron in hand! Now where does anyone ever get service of that calibre!!

Kemet is also great about responding to your wishes about the tour guide you will have. We all know that guides everywhere in the world are famous (or infamous) for taking you into shops where they make a commission. If you want to see sights rather than shops, tell Monty or Randa, and they will make this clear when hiring your guide.

All in all, after two trips with Kemet, I am pleased to tell you that this is one outstanding travel company. I don't yet have plans for a third trip to this wonderful country, but you may be sure that I will be calling my old friends at Kemet to take care of the details!

The organisation and communication with Kemet Travel was easy and uncomplicated. The schedule of our Tour was very thought through and everything worked perfectly. The Felucca was very comfortable and spatious (even had a toilet). The food during the Felucca trip was also very good (also with vegetarian option if you tell the Tour operator in advance).

The only things that we did not like so much is that our guides on the Felucca ride did not give us any information on the schedules (e.g., when we are leaving, how long the stops will be, what time we will be picked up for our visit to the temples, etc.). We also weren‘t very happy with our Egyptiologian expert as she did not explain as much as we hoped and reacted rather unhappy about questions from our side.

All in all, we would recommend the tour if you are looking for a relaxing day on the nile and a visit to Kom Ombo & Edfu. However, we think that the tour is a little overpriced.

The entire experience exceeded our expectations. We were in the hands of Monty and his team. He made it all effortless, educational and a trip to remember. Constant communication, kindness, patience and humor. We would recommend him to everyone looking to immerse themselves in discovering Egypt,

You are the kind of person who avoids packaged tours and thoroughly researches your own travel. Right? Great!

I am just such a person when it comes to travel. Over the years I have travelled on six continents, frequently alone. But, now that I am much older, this latest venture had my friends worried. What! A woman going alone to Egypt?! Are you nuts? All by yourself? To Egypt for three weeks on your own?

Yes, I replied, reassuring them that I would not exactly be all by myself. I rigorously studied what I wanted to do, and then I was equally careful in looking for a travel company to put my plans into motion. I discarded ANY company with ANY sketchy reviews, and that's how and why I selected Kemet Travel.

From the immediate response to my very first on-line contact, I knew I was on the right track. And from that day onward, Kemet's owner, Mr. Montessor Simman followed up, and revised and redid and rescheduled every detail that I requested.

And I confess I made lots of changes as new options occurred. As one such example, after reading more about the temple at Abydos, I wanted to build it into the plan at the last minute. (Off the beaten track, simply fantastic, Wednesday if possible to coincide with market day en route). We also worked a schedule around getting passage on the beautiful Dahabiya Abundance, a 10 passenger houseboat sailing between Aswan and Luxor ...a truly memorable experience.

Almost without exception, all these elaborate plans ran like clockwork. Drivers appeared on time, reservations were as expected, guides were superb. Monty stayed in telephone contact with guides or drivers to resolve any potential issues, and I can't even count the number of times he acted as translator if there was a language question!

So yes, I went to Egypt alone for three weeks. But was I really all by myself? Nope! I journeyed with the help of an Egyptian company called Kemet Travel!

Our guide was Mohamed who took us on a three day private tour of the main sites of Cairo. We had a great time and would highly recommend him as a guide. He was friendly, extremely educated and knowledgeable of Egyptian history and the various sites we visited. His explanations unearthed many layers of meaning behind what we were seeing. We asked him many questions throughout the trip and he was able to provide rich and interesting answers and context. I could not have imagined seeing Cairo without him. He was also well organized, kept us on schedule, and made our trip go smoothly. On top of all of that, we went out of his way to point us to good local food that we should try and made a point to accommodate our requests. We hope to see Mohamed again the next time we visit Egypt!

Our driver was also extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great first trip to Cairo!

Spent 2.5 days in Cairo in a private group and had a great time with Mohammed. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were able to pack in all the sights while learning a lot of history about Egypt. He made sure we learned a lot and was satisfied with our custom itinerary. Also went out of the way to help us try local foods.

I had a 12 days trip organized by Kemet together with my brothers. We visited Cairo and the desert, went to Aswan by plane and from there we took a cruise till Luxor, where we did the hot balloon experience and ending the trip in Hurghada. We had very nice guides and professional drivers, comfortable and clean vans for traveling during the whole trip as well nice hotels and cruise were booked. Although we had some small issues at the beggining, there were quickly solved. All the places in Egypt are beautiful and I recommend to visit the country with the help of Kemet.
