Adventure of a lifetime

The Discovery Egypt tour has been well put together covering the best of Egypt in 9 days. The trip itinerary is well thought out, full of wonderful adventures and fabulously hosted. The tour starts with the most pioneering feats of engineering the great Pyramids of Giza moving onto the breath taking views, clear blue skies, lush greenery and incredible edifices in Aswan, Philae island, Abu Simbel, Edfu and Luxor. The …

Fun and exhausting

Well, my boyfriend and I just got back from our trip about 1.5 weeks ago, and let me tell you, it was an awesome trip! If you are the type of person who enjoys relaxing, beach-like trips, this may not be for you. But if you are the person who wants to get the very most out of the trip, then this would be for you. This includes but not …

A Must Do-with Lady Egypt Tours

If a tour of Egypt has ever been on your bucket list, this tour with Lady Egypt Tours/Encounters Travel will definitely not disappoint! If it’s not on your bucket list—well it’s time to add it! I cannot believe how much we visited and learned in our 10 day tour (you’ll have a full itinerary a few days after you book). Our tour guide definitely loved Egypt/Egyptian history and by the …

Amazing trip !

Egypt was one of the places I always wanted to visit but due to unrest in the Middle East kept postponing. When we got there all my worries went away ! We felt safe and at ease . People of Egypt very nice and welcoming. Our tour guide Ahmed Kamouna was amazing! He went above and beyond his duty as a tour guide! Always pleasant, warm, polite, very knowledgeable, educated …

Definitely Recommended!

We just got back from a "Nubian Adventure" tour, and Encounters made the trip smooth and enjoyable. In particular, we have extremely high praise for our guide Mahmoud, who had a great sense of humor, had an excellent grasp of Egyptian history and culture, was easy to understand, and was good at wrangling the drifters and wanderers in our group. Overall, the selected hotels were very good (a couple were …

Experiences That I Will Always Cherish

Encounters Travel leaves no stone unturned. Every part of each leg of the tour is timed so whatever mode of transportation, whether boat or bus we will be picked up in a timely manner. It all starts at the airport where I was met. You get escorted through the customs area with your luggage. If you ever want to experience VIP treatment you might want to try this company, at …

Life changing adventure

The experience I had with Encounters in Egypt was so incredible that I would recommend it to anyone that's ever had the dream of seeing the pyramids or the Nile or Luxor... Encounters treats you like VIP and the guides are all cool and educated on everything Egypt. They catered to our interests and additions to the itinerary like Saqarra and hot-air balloons (both are a must). I was so …

Exceptional, 5-Star First Visit to Egypt

We loved the Egyptian Legacy tour! Encounters Travel (and their Upper Egypt partner, Lady Egypt Tours) made the entire experience seamless, safe and a dream come true. We saw all of the sites we had always wanted to see since we were children, and more! Travel is our passion, and we we have always had a visit to Egypt on our "bucket list." We usually plan our trips on our …

Spectacular tour in Egypt !!

I spent 11 days - not enough time - in a country that is full of color , life , beauty , laughter , delicious food and the birthplace of civilization. As soon as I got off the plane the tour leader , Islam Gaber , was there to make sure all goes smoothly with the visa , luggage, airport proceedings. I call him Magic Islam because I’ve not seen …

Discover Egypt Tour

The Discover Egypt tour was absolutely amazing. The tour receives four stars (for reasons I’ll discuss below) but our phenomenal tour guide Mahmoud elevated our experience. I generally prefer to explore without organized tours, but I’m so glad we booked this Encounters tour. The group size was manageable (at 15) and I lucked up with a great set of people that will be friends going forward. Our guide Mahmoud impressed …

Seamless From A to Z

Egypt has always been on my list but with the national unrest, I have been hesitant to visit. However, all of those worries simply melted away as soon as we arrived at the Cairo airport and met our first Encounters representative. From that first interaction, every single change of hands went seamlessly, there was no downtime for hotel check-ins as they were already done, buses were always on time and …

Great experience, amazing guide, life goals ✔️

We joined our Encounters tour in Cairo having booked through Trip a Deal here in Australia. From the moment we landed (we had just finished a tour of Jordan) our guide Waleed was there to make sure we got to our hotel and that our experience in Egypt was one we would remember for the right reasons. This tour included all the usual sights in Cairo- pyramids, Sphinx and museum- …
