Go to Egypt

We have recently returned from a fantastic trip to Egypt. Myself, my husband and my 18 year old son enjoyed the Nubian Adventure, September 15-22. We can not rate this company highly enough. We were looked after and felt completely safe the entire trip. Our guide, Waleed was fabulous. He was fun, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Our group were totally amazing and were comprised of people from all over the …

As a solo female traveler...

Encounters was THE best! I was nervous traveling as a single woman to Egypt, but I had zero issues on the trip. Not only was Egypt mind-blowing and a lifelong dream come true, it was safe, especially with this tour group. Our guide, Waleed, was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable. He anticipated our needs and then went above-and-beyond to exceed them, from spotting us cash to getting us meds if we …

Best Egypt Travel Agent

Could not have asked for a better experience! Egypt was showcased at its very best by our two guides (Egyptologists) between Cairo and Aswan/Luxor. We had booked our trip via Encounter who made all the hotel reservations, transfers and arranged for our guides from a Lady Egypt Tours. We opted for a private tour and it definitely made ALL the difference. Each part of the trip we were always accompanied …

Highly recommended if you want to live the Egyptian dream

Me and my wife did the Nubian Adventure tour which includes visits in Cairo (Pyramids and Egyptian Museum), Aswan (Abu SImbel and Nile), and Luxor (temples). We were escorted by our guide Mohammed and a group of friendly guides who looked after us in the best way possible. We tend to travel independent when possible, but in this case we felt that we wanted an arranged tour to maximise costs …

A bucket list item checked off

This was an amazing tour. It was fast paced and busy but allowed me to see so many dream items in a short amount of time. All details were taken care of from airport pickups, to food options and transport around Egypt. I did the internal flight upgrades which were worth it because it allowed me a little more relaxation time. What made this tour even more exceptional were the …

Even a Kidney Stone Attack could not ruin this Incredible/Amazing Egyptian Journey!

I have had the pleasure of experiencing many of the Mayan, Greek and Roman architectural monuments around the world. So I was quite keen on experiencing first-hand the Egyptian treasures. No photo or HD documentary can do justice to what you witness in Cairo, Luxor or Aswan! I convinced two good friends to tag along for this journey (we also added Israel with a very easy Air Sinai 45 minute …

AMAZING trip mixing local and traditional tourists experiences!

My husband and I booked this tour and traveled in October of this year. We had THE BEST tour guide via Encounters Travel - Sheriff! Not only was Sheriff extremely knowledgable about everything we saw, he was so much fun and quite the comedian! He kept us entertained all week long, and with his knowledge, answered every single question that we had! Coming from the U.S., friends and family always …

Incredible Experience!

As an International School Teacher I have traveled with many different tour companies throughout the world and I must say that our guide, Ahmad Kamouna was truly one of the most caring, knowledgeable and organized guides I've encountered (pun intended)! The days were long but we got to sleep and relax for 2 days in Luxor. There were quite a few add-ons for the trip and while the cost does …

The best trip of my life

I have travelled a lot and by far this was the most incredible tour I have been on. Our travel guide Mohamed Kareem (Egyptologist) was caring, welcoming, HILARIOUS and his impressive wealth of knowledge was utterly invaluable. The people, towns and sites of Egypt were so rich in culture, authentic and the vibe was incredible. Pictures that you see on the internet and shows on TV do not do this …

Fun and fascinating tour

I did the short 6 day tour of Cairo and Luxor sites. The itinerary was quite busy but meant we got to see all the main sites.Although it took a couple of days to get used to some of the shopkeepers at the tourist sites (a firm no and putting up your hand normally does the trick!), and some places are very hectic, I felt safe there and didn't hear …
