Encounters 6 day Cairo Tour

It went by way too quickly but I enjoyed every minute of it. The hotels we stayed in were very nice and clean and the sleeper train experience was a unforgettable one but in a good way. The heat was tough but my tour guide always made sure we had water and shade and was so informed on the Egyptian history that I was able to learn so much. I …

Solo traveller - what an amazing experience.

This is the first time I have used Encounters Travel and it wont be the last! I travelled solo and from the first moment, I felt part of the travelling group (the Family") met some lovely people from all round the world (ages 20s - 70s) and had the best time travelling around Egypt I could have imagined.This trip was exactly the right balance - saw all the important sites, …

Mind-blowing Egyptian adventure!

We had the trip of a lifetime with Encounters Travels on their 9 day Nubian Adventure with Waleed Kamouna as our exceptional tour guide, helping us make our way through Egyptian history, arts, culture, food and general ways of life from thousands of years ago to today. Right from day 1 when Soul, their exceptional operations guru and tour leader picked us from the airport and checked us in earlier …

Family trip to Egypt

Thank you Encounters Travel for your time and patience with all my questions before booking this trip! Egypt has been beyond amazing and has surpassed what we (my mom, sister and myself) thought it would be. Our tour manager, Islam, was so helpful and friendly throughout our trip and we were thankful to have him in the background organising each step! Luckily we didn't have any real issues but some …

Always supported

Encounters Travel have always supplied a guide and driver there for you . All the guides we had were so enthusiastic about the history of their country. Very knowledgeable and keen to answer all questions about Egyptian way of life both modern and ancient. Great value for money when you think of the support. I don't think you could do it for the same price if you consider transport costs, …

Beautiful Egyptian Adventure!

I just arrived home today from my Nubian Adventure Tour led by the amazing Waleed Kamouna. The whole experience from beginning to end was one of my best adventures! Our group saw so many amazing sites and have amazing memories of our time together in Egypt. We spent time in Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and on a traditional Felucca Boat. Everything was well organized and planned for, even down to the …

Jordan on the Shoestring & Nubian Egypt Adventure: A memorable trip

We have just completed a memorable trip in Jordan and Egypt yesterday with the Encounters Travel which in my opinion is the best Tour Operator. We had been well look after at every stage from the time of landing at Amman's Queen Alia Airport to the departure at Cairo International Airport. At one point, our luggage were left behind by the very bad service of the Royal Jordanian Airlines during …

Don't hesitate and visit Egypt now!

I did the 6 day pharaonic tour, and if you're asking should you book it, the answer is YES! My trip to Egypt was amazing, I got to see a lot in a short period of time. I always felt safe and had an PHENOMENAL tour guide, Mahmoud you are the best and so intelligent! (if you book with Encounter request him). Thank you to Walid, Ant, and the rest …

When you go choose Big Mo!

I did the Discover Egypt tour with my wife and it was the 9 day trip with the Felucca cruise and resort stay in Hurghada on the Red Sea. IT. WAS. AWESOME. The Encounter Tours representative in Cairo, Islam, was fantastic in making sure we were looked after from the moment we arrived at the airport to the entire time spent in the Cairo area. Our group tour guide was …

Egypt - Encounters Travel: 9-Days Discover Egypt Tour

I went to Egypt with Encounters Travel from July 6, 2018-July 15, 2018. I had a GREAT time in Egypt. During my whole week there, I felt safe 100% of the time. Here are a few things I would like to mention: OVERALL: - Egypt accepts most major currencies. I did not have any problem using USD in most places except some local little markets. It's easy to find a …

10 days Egypt with Cairo/Aswan/Luxor

I have just returned from Egypt a week ago using Encounters Travel as the tour operator. I have been looking at Egypt as a destination for a while now, and had done a lot of research as to what tour operator to use that is affordable, gives the most extensive experience, knowledge, safe and have designed a seamless trip for its guests. Encounters Travel did not disappoint.. the company was …

Encounters Travel: 9-Days Discover Egypt Tour

My wife, adult daughter, granddaughter and I did the "Discovery Egypt" tour offered by Encounters Travel. Although I was skeptical about taking a trip to Egypt because of concerns about safety and whether Americans in this time of the terrible trump presidency would be welcomed, my fears were unfounded. It was an exception experience and we are very well-traveled people who've done many trips abroad and who in fact have …
