Trip of a Lifetime

I can't recommend this trip enough. From start to finish, Encounter's travel had everything covered, from airport transfers, excursions, hotels, and the BEST tour guide Mahmoud. We felt safe the entire time we were on this tour, but I would recommend taking a tour company while travelling in Egypt. I can't imagine trying to figure out transportation or handling the sites solo. All hotels were stayed at were great- Le …

First International Solo Trip to Egypt

I must say that every minute of the Discover Egypt trip was absolutely amazing! If you go to Egypt and have Ahmad Kamouna as your tour guide you would be in for a real treat and your trip will go from amazing to spectacular. The amount of knowledge he has of Egyptian history, his humor, and the love and care he has for the members of his tour group made …

Amazing Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience!!!

I traveled with my family (my 30th birthday celebration!) and it was the first time any of us had been to Egypt and we had such a great time!!! Everything was planned out very well by the tour company, the accommodations were beautiful, and we never once felt unsafe. The group size of the tour was small which was perfect and made for a very personalized experience. Our tour guide …

Excellent from start to finish

We recently returned from a Discover Egypt tour through Encounters Travel. It was an A+ from start to finish. The hotels, tour buses and restaurants were all terrific. The itinerary was designed to cover everything of interest for folks who would maybe not be coming back there. We felt safe the entire time and the Egyptian people were extremely warm and friendly. The sights themselves blew our minds on a …

Excellent tour of Egypt with Encounters

I visited Egypt in February and it was an amazing trip. Our tour guide Ahmad Kamouna was so knowledgeable which made it even more interesting. Our felucca lunch on the Niles followed by dinner on the banks of the river under the perfect moonlight was extraordinary. Also, our hot air balloon ride overlooking the Valley of kings and queens was out of this world. Ahmad was always making sure that …

Outstanding trip - Big Mo, Egyptologist

This trip was fantastic, informative from start to finish. We were a small group of 13. We were lucky: everyone was congenial and punctual, meeting up at the appointed times, and Big Mo, our guide, with years of experience, paved our way from start to finish doling out sound advice, tips and precautions. There are a couple of things you might want to know: 1) The food is delicious but …

Great tour, an amazing place to see!

This was our very first tour. We usually avoid tours with a lot of people in it and decided to give this a chance since didn't want to plan a 9 days trip on our own and also were concern with safety. We are so happy we chose this tour. We had fun the entire 9 days. Our tour guide was Emad, he pampered us, was very protective and we …

Encounters Travel - A professional tour company with the personal touch

From the time we touched down after a long flight to reach Egypt until our departure 8 days later, tour leader Islam ensured every aspect of our trip to Egypt ran smoothly. He met us at the airport and delivered us to our hotel then met us the next morning to introduce us to our Cairo guide. Our guides and drivers in Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada were all excellent. …

Safety was my first concern.

Egypt has a lot to offer tourists and in general is a safe country for travel. Egyptians are very polite, friendly and very welcoming of visitors as tourism is a major industry. There's a significant security presence at most places as the present Government is extremely keen to prevent an occurrence that might create any downturn in its tourism. With the way the world is at the moment I can …

Discover Eqypt

Great small group tour. Hotels where fine although some were dated. Our guide Waleed was the most knowledgeable I have ever had with a sense of humor and a love for Egypt. He run things very smooth. We never had to wait for anything. He is well know in city and country. This is a fast paced trip and you see a lot. I highly recommended this trip.
