Encounters Travel's 'Discover Egypt' and I did!

Egypt on your travel radar? Bucket list? Do it now! Why now? SAFETY Egypt has TOURIST POLICE at every tourist spot, and has had prior to 2011 Revolution (it is a Federal crime to accost a tourist). They even accompanied our tour bus on occasion. I NEVER FELT UNSAFE IN EGYPT & the cultivated relation Encounters Travel has with the Egyptian government (the Encounters guide on my tour Waleed Kamouna …

Discover Egypt

I actually just got back from my 10 day trip to Egypt today! But I had such a great time that I felt like I had to leave a review as soon as I got home. Our tour guide was named Maged but we all called him Mags and he was AMAZING. He had so much knowledge about Egypt and every where we went. We felt safe, comfortable and had …

My unforgettable Egypt Tour

I traveled to Egypt with Encounters April 15-24 of 2016. Like others I'm worried about traveling to Egypt. But all my worries turn to priceless experience. First booking this tour is so fast. I was the last one invited to this tour. And I'm so worried that I might not be able to join my friend and family with this trip. Encounters make it happened the same day that I …

Best Vacation Tour Group (Encounters Travel)

I was a little hesitant to book a solo tour to Egypt but this experience over exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. From Day 1 I was greeted at the airport and taken through customs with no hassle. We then met with the representative & driver who transported myself and others to our beautiful hotel Oaisis located in Cairo. Rooms were swiftly assigned every city (Cairo, Aswan, Lixor, Hurghada, …

QUITE A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

To be frank, I have never been a big fan of tour groups because I never feel they have done good enough of a job organizing or giving me time to see everything. I hesitated to book the 'Discover Egypt' tour with Encounters and it took me about 2 months to decide. What really caught my attention was the responsiveness of Encounters team, especially Anthony. They continuously kept up their …

Best tour I have ever taken

We had a 9 day Discover Egypt Tour via Encounters Travel. My wife and I used to travel solo and discover places on our own. This is the first time we went through an organized trip and it was well worth it! We have seen most of the highlights of Egypt. Visited the ancient sites, the Cairo Museum, the Pyramids, the Sphinx and a real Nubian village just to mention …

Simply out of this world!

I did "Discover Egypt" with a group of 6 friends touring with Encounters Travel for 9 days. My partner and I have been traveling for the past year with various tour companies and it is very easy to say that this was by far my most memorable experience! Our tour guide, Waleed is possibly the best in the world! He is incredibly knowledgeable and has such a love and passion …

"I didnt know what to expect and left with a lot of great memories"

We booked our trip without knowing what to really expect, especially since the media is so deceiving. We arrived to Cairo at around 2a.m., from the moment we set foot on the airport, an Encounters travel staff member was there waiting for us, he helped us get our visa and made the process quite easy! Every hotel stay was great!! The staff was friendly and kind, if you needed something …
