What our Travelers Say

Ibrahim was a fantastic guide—friendly and full of knowledge. We explored vibrant markets, tasted delicious falafel and kunafa, and learned about local customs. Ending at the Roman Amphitheater was a perfect finish. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Amman! Thanks, Ibrahim, for a memorable experience!

My sister and I decided to go with Simsem for our visit to Giza in Egypt. We were paired up with the incredible Nada, who was so passionate and so knowledgeable. We were picked up and dropped off and were able to enjoy and learn about the incredible sites and this ancient history - that left us mesmerised. In addition, we follow veggie and vegan diets and were perfectly catered for. I would jump on the opportunity to explore with Simsem and Nada again. Thank you!

I had an amazing time on this adventurous and historical tour of Siwa Oasis! From the stunning desert landscapes to the salt lakes, the rich cultural heritage and the unforgettable time with locals, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. The guide, Hakam, is an absolutely fantastic guy — knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of Siwa. He made sure that I felt comfortable and engaged throughout the journey. The lodge was perfect! I only wish I had more time to spend there. Siwa has so much to offer, not just to visit but also the community. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enriching experience. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you again my friend ;)

My trip to Tanis and Bubastis was exceptional . It was about 4 hours round trip , my driver was efficient and Alaa my tour guide was very friendly , easy to speak with on just about anything so much that by the end of the trip she felt like a young sister to me . She was also very knowledgeable about the temple sites and dispensed a lot of information I def needed. The temple sites were exactly what I expected them to be , as a curious researcher , I was awed by the history of the ancient dynasties and the remains of history littered over the once beautiful sites. To say my trip was exceptional is an understatement. Thank you Alaa, you are a true gem! Thanks to Simsem for the lunch/ dinner at the end which reminded me of how hospitable Egyptians are and o can’t wait to use Simsem again when I return to Cairo … soon , inshallah! 😍

This was the highlight of my trip to Egypt! Sameh made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. The bread-making workshop with local women was so special, and the countryside lunch was absolutely delicious. The palm tree climbing was hilarious and unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a true cultural experience beyond Cairo.

I loved every detail of this day. Sameh was patient, knowledgeable, and a fantastic guide. We visited hidden spots in Dahshur, learned to make Ajwa cookies, and even crafted small souvenirs from natural Halfa plants. I especially appreciated the professional photos — such beautiful memories to take home.

What our Travelers Say

Our Jordan trip was wonderful beyond our expectations. My family and I enjoyed to the fullest. Feras and his team Sari, Nora were great. Sari and Nora were great tour guides. We enjoyed their company. We definitely enjoyed the local atmosphere/celebration. Thank you. Our highlight was the Petra tour! That I waited for many years and finally it came true. I would say the food at the restaurant at the souk in Amman was overrated. Overall it was a good trip. Thank you for arranging it for us.
