I found a 9 day trip to Egypt on sale through a sports site I shop with. The price was SO good that I couldn't resist. My daughter and I booked the Encounters Travel 9 Day Discover Egypt Tour for only $650. We bought our own airfare. From start to finish this was an excellent experience. Encounters was very responsive and helpful, despite the fact that they are in England …
From start to finish, this was the easiest vacation I've ever booked! My husband and I didn't have to plan anything on our own, the encounters team took care of everything for us. This vacation was ideal for us because there wasn't a chance for us to get bored. Something was planned for us to do at all times during the entirety of the trip (and the activities were absolutely …
First - my booking experience. I booked the Discover Egypt tour through The Clymb. From the moment I reached out to Encounters to set up my trip, I was impressed with how responsive and helpful they were. I have worked with other tour companies that ignore your questions or take forever to respond. Even if I sent an email on the weekend, I always received a quick response back. I …
If you want to vacation in Egypt,see the pyramids/temples, cruise on the Nile, go air ballooning & eat the most amazing food and have the BEST guide ever then Waleed Kamouna is your man from Encounters Travel. The Egyptian people that I met were wonderful, so polite and eager to please visitors to their country. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Elsbeth D.
I recently returned from the trip of a lifetime! Our party of eight went on a guided tour... "Discover Egypt" provided by Encounters Tours. The whole experience was fantastic from the time we landed in Cairo and were met by the Encounter's guide (Islam Ahmed Gaber) at the airport. If you are a reluctant traveller, this is the way to go...Islam walked us through immigration and baggage pick-up and we …

Having visited Egypt for my father's birthday we had a wonderful time, made so by the brilliant guides. They were knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. We learnt so much from our trip and came back with nothing but praise for the what we saw and experienced. It was so fantastically organised we didn't have to worry about anything, meaning we were free to enjoy our time there to the full. I …
We just completed the 9 day Gods of Egypt tour and had a great time. We saw all the sights we could possibly squeeze into a 9 day tour including the Great Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum in Cairo, a 3 night cruise on the Nile where we saw numerous temples and sights from Aswan to Edfu and Luxor, a day of relaxation on the Red Sea at Hurghada before …
Returned from the 9 day Discover Egypt tour with Encounters Travel. First class hotels, lots of sights , plenty of good food. Our tour guide, Hani, was exceptional. With 2 degrees in archeology and history, he was able to point out many details many would have passes over. He also had a great sense of humor. Highly recommended, for the itinerary and quality of accommodations. Only criticism is the overnight …
Simply stated, this trip was the best trip of my life, and I am fairly well traveled, having been all over Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The people at Encounters Travel are consummate professionals, and the entire trip went off without a hitch even though it included four international flights, a domestic flight, a train trip, a river cruise ship, and numerous vans and buses. We saw amazing sights …
I went on a 10 trip to Egypt with Encounters Travel. They work in Egypt with Discover Egypt. These guys are the best. I was met at Cairo Airport by Anass upon arrival. He also walked me through check ins and security at the airport when departing at the end of the trip. While in Egypt, the tour guides Magz and Ahmed were awesome. They studied Egyptology at University and …
