Discover Egypt Tour! 2nd Time!! Big MO

I first went to Egypt in August 2017 with Encounters Travel and was so lucky to have Big Mo as my tour guide. After returning by to the U.S I could not get Egypt off of my mind! I decided to book the same tour again and this time take my father after being away for only 2 months! Again we were lucky and got Big MO! Encounters Travel is …

Custom Tour! Spectacular Service! Best trip of my life!

As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe and secure at all times. Especially with the excellent tour company selected for me. Mohammed Khalifa and Rasha Yehya made me feel very welcome in Egypt. The tour was flexible and perfect for my desire to see multiple cities in a short period of time...from Abu Simbel to Cairo to Alexandra. Egypt is an amazing place with outstanding hospitality! Thank you …

A memorably fantastic tour with excellent caring attention to detail throughout

As a very frequent traveller I can honestly say that Encounters Travel in Egypt are the most caring tour organiser that I have ever travelled with. I was extremely well looked after from only a few minutes after leaving the plane in Cairo through every step of the tour right up to to passport control on departure. The hotels were first class; the instructions were very clear; the guides were …

Tailor-made tour to Sudan and Egypt's Red Monastery

We arranged this tour through Encounters Travel and it was an amazing trip from start to finish. Tourism in Sudan is in its infancy so there was a real sense of discovery in the fields of pyramids and the ancient royal cities. The food and accommodation in Sudan were first-class and enabled us to see the sites in a high degree of comfort. Egypt is suffering so much economically at …

Adventure to Egypt Fall 2017

Had a great experience venturing to Egypt. Encounters kept us busy and on the move from sun up to sun down. We felt completely safe while there in Egypt.

Incredible visit, fantastic tour!

My wife and I normally don't do organized tours, but we chose to for visiting Egypt and Jordan. Egypt was pretty much perfect. We saw so much, learned a great deal from the highly educated and personable guides, and stayed in very nice lodgings. The organization of the Egypt portion of the tour was also excellent - at no point did we feel uninformed, confused, or annoyed. Mahmoud was our …

9 day Egypt tour-amazing!

Our family did this tour with Encounter Travel during Thanksgiving time. It was so much fun, safe, and everything was top quality! We were escorted and accompanied by our guide, Big Mo—who patiently explained and answered questions about Egyptian history, the temples, pyramids and tombs, pharaohs, mosques, customs, traditions and even food! Islam took care of every detail and every need we had. To see history envelope you and come …

Ode to Waleed Kamouna

Waleed guides us through limestone, alabaster, and marble antiquities. And in a short time we forget present day iniquities. We follow the route of the Pharaohs and Nile. While listening to his stories, we are left beguiled. Greece has its athenaeum, and Rome its Coliseum. Now we stand awed before pyramids and mausoleums. Through a Nubian dinner and a felucca cruise, This exceptional man becomes our muse. We discover Aswan, …

Trip of a Lifetime

Best trip of my life. “Magz,” our Tour Guide, and Khalifa, Tour Leader, made the trip extraordinary. You must go to Egypt and do the Discover Egypt tour through Encounters Travel. Don’t let anyone tell you Egypt is not safe. Yes, it absolutely is! We visited Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Hurghada over the course of 9 days, and it was magnificent. We felt safe at all times and never felt …

Encounters Travel Discover Egypt is the most comprehensive tour I've ever been on

Encounters Travel Discover Egypt is the most comprehensive tour I've ever been on.They met us at the airport getting off the plane and took us back to the airport and saw that we got through security and everything in between. It is very safe in Egypt. You can walk the streets and when telling people that ask that we were from America we were met with smiles and positive comments. …

I have always had an overwhelming desire to visit Egypt, and my Discover Egypt tour with Encounters Travel exceeded my expectations. From the minute I stepped off of the plane I knew I was home. Tom met us at the airport and took excellent care of us from the start. He was both professional and personable, and no detail was overlooked. It was wonderful to not have to worry about …

Discover Egypt - 9 day tour

Egypt has been on my list of places to go for a VERY long time. I couldn't be happier with the tour structure and support. From being picked up at the airport, to the properties we stayed at - the trip was amazing. Our guide Egyptologist Sherif was definitely one of the highlights of this tour. His love, passion, and knowledge of his beloved country and people shines through and …
