Absolutely INCREDIBLE trip and experience

My girlfriend and I did the discover egypt trip. Khalifa and Sherif were our guides. In no way at all could I think of a way it could have gone smoother. They were well organized and knowledgeable. I FULLY suggest taking a trip and seeing for yourself.

The perfect tour to experience Egypt

I took the 9 day tour with a felucca cruise and was such a great tour. My friend and I had a great time. One of our tour guides was Islam Gaber and he made sure to educate us on the daily life of many people in Egypt. He made the tour much more personable. The itinerary was full as we visited many temples and landmarks and my favorite was …

Egypt

Trip arranged by Amanda at Egypt Uncovered(NZ) through Encounters. Amanda did a spectacular job of creating a customised tour for us. It was spot on what we were looking for from the Mena House Hotel (Cairo) to the train south to Luxor then via the "Sea Goddess" to Aswan. She nailed the level we were after and the itinerary was spot on. What really pulled it all together was the …

Discover Egypt

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time exploring the beauty Egypt has to offer. From the pyramids in Cairo, the temples in Luxor, the Nubian village in Aswan, and the beaches in Haurghada. Our guide Wael was very knowledgeable and friendly. Him, along with his staff made this trip a memorable one. Thank you Encounters and your reps in Egypt!!

Discovering Egypt

I don't even know where to start as this trip was amazing. I did this tour as a single female and I traveled with Encounter Travel for a nine days and from the start to finish of the tour things could not have gone better. I was so impressed with the pickup service at the Airport and I never had to worry about anything as everything was arranged. Not at …

Delightful, enlightening and safe

Everyone should go to Egypt at least once in their lifetime. This is the cradle of all our civilisations; its treasures are extraordinarily preserved and accessible; its climate is gentle and its people warm and welcoming. It is a fascinating place for the enquiring traveller. It is also safe. We joined a group tour with Encounters Travel starting in Cairo and travelling to Aswan and Luxor. We were part of …

Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand

This was the second tour I booked with Encounter travel. The first one was in Egypt and we had such a fantastic experience that my family and I went directly to them again for Southeast Asia. Our agent was Anthony... he was organized, attentive and very patient with us for all our questions, concerns and requests. He always responded in an excellent timely manner. Our 3 guides in Vietnam, Cambodia …

Egypt!

We went to Egypt over Christmas 2016 and from start to finish Encounters Travel took great care of us. Big Mo was the absolute best. He/they took care of every detail. The hotels were great. The transportation was fabulous (I don't know how drivers drive there...it's nuts). They were even flexible with the itinerary if the group collectively decided to do something else. Definitely stay on the Falluca! The whole …

Flawless from start to finish

This was my first experience with a tour group and Encounters made the entire trip flawless and amazing from arrival through departure. I must admit I was a bit nervous prior to the trip, not knowing what to expect in Egypt these days, but I felt safe the entire time and loved experiencing everything this beautiful country has to offer. Our Egyptologist (Magz) was knowledgeable & fun and also very …

Discover Egypt 9 day tour

This was an extremely well organised tour. We visited Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor, Hurgada. We visited many important sites - it was a very packed itinerary but if you are interested in Egyptology it was wonderful. We also spent one night on a felucca. The guide was extremely knowledgable with excellent English. There were 21 people in all and we were split into two groups - one of 11 …

Fantastic Egypt revisited tour

This fantastic holiday takes the form of a road trip from Cairo to Luxor. Over a number of days I visited places of historic interest that are rarely seen by tourists but are the equal of more famous sites. I would like to give special mention to the impressive pyramid at Meidum, the very beautiful tombs at Beni Hassan and the well preserved temple at Abydos. The organisation by Encounters …
