Amazing - Egypt Revisited / Cairo to Cairo Egypt Encompassed tour

Summary: The tour was very well organized, the itinerary well thought out, and the execution was near perfect. Highlights: - Temples. Philae Temple, Temple of Hatchepsut and Rameses II were my faves but they each had their own unique features - Valley of the Kings- we went to three tombs (selected by our guide). This was a fraction of the available tombs - Hot air balloon ride over Valley of …

Discover Egypt tour

We went on the Discover Egypt tour and had an amazing experience. Our tour guide was Waleed Kamouna, and he always made sure that we had a safe and beautiful trip. There were many spectacular views from beginning to end. Waleed had so much knowledge to provide us with details about the history behind the sights we were seeing. Thank you for giving us such a great trip!

Famileeeeee -Discover Egypt

I've been back for a week now from Egypt and I am still telling stories about this amazing trip. Our Tour Guide was Waleed K. He was absolutely amazing. He made every temple come to life by using us as Gods and Goddesses so it stuck in our minds. He is well informed and he always made sure we were ok and in good health. We stayed at Oasis Hotel …

Great way to see egypt

Traveled with Encounter Travel for a nine day tour of Egypt, and things could not have gone better. We never had to think twice about our safety because the Egyptian government provides a security guard for all tours. This is a great time to visit this country. Because many people are fearful of visiting the middle east at this time, tourism is way down. Virtually all of the sites we …

Awesome trip

The Discover Egypt tour with Encounters was a fabulous adventure! Anyone who has ever thought about traveling to Egypt and seeing the pyramids and Spinx, ride a camel, hot air balloon, ride a boat up the Nile, see the worlds largest man made lake, see the world heritage site at Abu Simbal, swim in the Nile, snorkel or scuba in the Red Sea. . . . . This is the …

Group Tour to Egypt

Ive always wanted to visit Egypt but everytime I tried organizing a trip to book with family or friends I'd get the run around. For a long time I thought I was never going to be able to visit Egypt until I ran into a great deal on Living Social for a group tour with flights included through Encounters Travel. I never did a group tour before so I didnt …

Best time to go Egypt

I went on the 9 day trip, plus one extra day my sisters and I tacked on at the end to have a free day in Cairo. This trip was amazing. I highly recommend asking to book the tour with the guide, Waleed Kamouna. He is an Egyptologist and brings the history to life. He also has the best personality and is so passionate about all things Egypt. Some highlights: …

Amazing Group Tour to Egypt

This is the year to go to Egpyt! Everything is still relatively inexpensive and the sites were not crowded. I enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Our tour guide (Waleed Khamouna) was absolutely wonderful. He is so passionate about Egyptian history and imparted all of his knowledge on us at various sites in Egypt. We saw the pyramids, Abu Simbel and Karnak temple just to name a few. The tour …

Discover Egypt

I had a great time on the discover Egypt tour. Everything was made as easy as possible, from the airport arrival to the tours and the hotels. Speaking which all the hotels we stayed in were of a very good standard. Maged was incredibly knowledgeable as an egyptologist and by the end of the tour I had a good understanding of the history of Egypt especially as we covered all …

Solo adventure - leave everything to Encounters Travel!

I mean leave everything to Encounters! I typically do a little research on where I'm visiting, maybe have some hi lights picked out and, as a minimum, have some basic trip details noted down. Not this time. This was my first experience with a tour group and with work crazy, I never planned a thing or opened the travel book. In fact, I hadn't even remembered the tour agency name; …

Egypt Tour - 3 Sept 2016

Wow where can I start! I found this deal through Living Social and after discussing with my husband, we said "Let's Do This"! Egypt has always been on our bucket list and so from the meticulous research on the tour to the actual booking of the trip, Ant Horrobin of Encounter's UK office was the best to work with. He answered every single question we had and even when their …

Nine day tour of Egyptian Temples and culture

This was quite an amazing adventure and experience! From the beginning planning with Ant in the U.K. all of our questions were answered about logistics, like the tourist visa to who will meet us at the airport. Kalifa met us before we went thru immigration, and was a tremendous help throughout the tour. Sheriff was our tour guide, absolutely the best! He never stopped the whole tour. From the information …
