Welcome to a world of adventure!

Here at Encounters Travel we really value you, our loyal customers, and to show just how much we mean that, we've introduced our 'Passport to Adventure' loyalty scheme. This offers all our travellers fantastic discounts on repeat bookings, exclusive offers and various freebies on your next adventures with Encounters Travel.

We are also offering great discounts when you get your friends and family to book with us, and not only for them but for you too!

So here's how it works. Before you start your second trip with us, we will send you a free 'Passport to Adventure' with a stamp for your first country/tour. You should then take this along with you on every Encounters Travel tour you go on. On each future trip we'll then stamp your passport with one of our special Encounters stamps, which are unique to each of our countries. The more you collect, the more savings you and your friends will make. It's that simple!

Terms & Conditions

Friend referral discounts can only be applied when the friend is travelling with the Encounters Travel Passport holder.
Discounts may be reduced if used in conjunction with any other special offers.
All Encounters Travel Passport awards are subject to change and Encounters Travel retains the right to do so at any time and without prior notice.
Encounters Travel retains the right to terminate its loyalty scheme at any time and without prior notice.

We offer a wide range of day tours in Egypt. Most tours start and finish in Cairo and can be added to an existing tour with us, or booked on a standalone basis. Pick ups from any hotel in Cairo are included and we'll drop you back there at the end of the tour. Alternatively if you are only flying into the city for the day we can start and finish the tour at the airport and customise the daily itinerary to fit in with your flight times. This works particularly well if you are staying in one of the Red Sea resorts and would like to see a bit more of Egypt during yoru stay. Tours are arranged privately with an AC vehicle, driver and professional tour guide accompanying you.

VALLEY OF THE WHALES

Egypt

This full day tour from Cairo visits the World Heritage Site of the Valley of the Whales at Wadi Hitan in the Fayoum Oasis region, a couple of hours drive outside the city. It provides a fascinating and beautiful contrast to the usual ancient Egyptian pharaonic sites that the rest of your time in Egypt may have concentrated on.
