NUBIAN ADVENTURE

Second trip with Encounters ... First one was good but Egypt was very professional. What an amazing experience. Arriving in Egypt at 3.45 a.m. (their local time), there was this guy with a HUGE smile and an Encounters sign ... MOHAMED KHALIFA. He escorted us through customs and took us to our hotel and settled us in with a very early check in. He went over our iternary and suggested …

Encounters Nubian adventure was the trip of a life time!

Our trip started off with a delayed flight out of Amsterdam, and I was worried about what to do when we landed. As soon as we got of the plane Khalifa was waiting for us with a big smile and he knew both of our names. He helped us obtain our visas and pass through customs. (visas are 25$ each and you can pay in us cash) He helped us …

Nubian Adventure!!

I'm just home now from my time in Egypt! Right from the moment we stepped off the plane our encounters rep was there to greet us and get us through the process of getting out of the airport. We were in very capable hands! We were greeted outside the airport by our driver and another rep, taken to our hotel, briefed and sent to bed. The next morning was coming …

My wife and I had an amazing time in Egypt with Encounters Travel. We did the 9 day Nubian Adventure. The hotels, Felucca boats, buses, and Trains were all very nice - the hotel in Luxor being world class. The itinerary was appropriately busy with the perfect amount of free/down time. All of Encounters guides are very knowledgeable, helpful, and will remain friends of mine for life. Hani Kamona was …

Nubian Adventure

An amazing, lifetime experience... The team from Encounters made sure we were well taken care of and safe. Waleed, is one of the best guides I met. He is fun and well knowledgeable. Loves Egypt and its culture and he is fascinated sharing it with all. The group and Waleed really bonded into our little Egyptian Family. I would go to another trip with Waleed. I would definitely recommend it …

Nubian Adventure - Only Way to See Egypt

From the start of this 9 day adventure I felt very comfortable and welcome in Egypt. The staff with Encounters goes out of their way to explain the culture, current state of the country, and the history. Our guide was absolutely amazing and thanks to his wonderful personality the group grew close over the trip. I am a very curious person and threw out a lot of questions; every single …

Amazing

I've used Encounters before and they were quite good, but in Egypt they know exactly what they're doing! Our guides and reps went out of their way to help us and were all 100% committed to us having a good time. The trip was run so smoothly, and the guide gave great advice on where to eat and was really knowledgable about Ancient Egypt, he was also really understanding of …

Best holiday ever

Friends recommended this trip. Anthony tailor made our holiday based around the standard Egypt Experience tour. Basically we started in Cairo, train to Luxor, luxury cruise up the Nile to Aswan, drive to the Red Sea resort of Hurghada, and finally back to Cairo. The tour leader Khalifa, met us at the airport and masterminded our tour, managing to get upgrades at all the hotels. We had two guides. 'Meeto' …

Four day tour of Cairo and Luxor

We have just finished a four day tour in Egypt and Encounters travel were accommodating with our requests, due to us not following an organised tour. Mr Mohammed Khalifa the tour leader met us at Cairo airport and was excellent from the minute we left him to the minute he left us, nothing was too much trouble and he always went out of his way to help us, he truly …

9 day Nubian adventure

A fantastic tour, well organised with great a great guide and encounters staff, visiting the main tourist sites around Cairo, Aswan and Luxor a highlight definitely being the 2 nights sailing on the felucca, Egypt really cares about and looks after their tourists, it is so quiet at the moment but hoping tourism will pick up soon
