Outstanding professionalism!

Khalifa met us at the Cairo airport, and we immediately felt welcomed and at ease. Although we had planned on checking into our hotel, Khalifa wisely advised us to immediately head to the pyramids to avoid the intense heat of the noon day sun, and we welcomed this type of guidance throughout the time we spend with Encounter. Cairo is an overwhelming city, and it was great to,know we could …

Excellent customer service

I will keep this short and sweet: Khalifa and the rest of the team in Cairo work a very 'tight ship,' and their customer service is exceptional. They work very hard and go the extra mile for their customers, they dress and act professionally, they are personable and easy to work with. It's a great time to go to Egypt -- the country is back on its feet again -- …

Encounters Travel - Sudan tour

Just back from Sudan after visiting the land of the Nubian Pharaohs (Meroe, Jebel Barkal, Old Dongola, Khartoum, etc). From the very beginning Encounters Travel were flexible and attentive to my itinerary wishes. So so easy to deal with in the planning process and always getting back promptly - Thanks Anthony! The trip itself was breath-taking. The guides were professional, flexible, friendly - all round perfect really. Also, the people …

Amazing!!

Before leaving the UK, Encounters Travel were amazing to deal with, having postponed the holiday from the year previous all arrangements were remade without any worries from ourselves. Arriving in Cairo we were met by Khalifa, Encounters Travel Cairo rep. A huge smile never left his face! We were spoilt from start to finish. Beautiful hotels throughout the tour where, again our needs came first. All the transport was air …

Egyptian Encounter with Encounters Travel

Just spent the last 10 days in and around Egypt with our tour company 'Encounters Travel'. Where oh where do I begin? This will take some time, so please, sit back, relax and enjoy this feedback! I've previously travelled to Egypt 11 times and this was my 12th trip. Was supposed to travel last year but owing to the uprising out there, the tour was cancelled until August 2014 at …

Egypt Encounters - a wonderful experience

It was my second visit to Egypt and by far the best. First class hotels, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable tour guides. In order to see everything one has to be prepared for early starts but it was well worth it. Travelling solo I was extremely lucky to be together with a lovely group. Egypt has so much to offer will definitely go back again.

Moroccan Mosaics, July 2013

What an adventure! As a single solo female I was so pleased by how many other solo travellers there were in our group, a few couples and pairs of friends also gave us such a good mix that very soon into it we all bonded and looked after each other, felt like one close family, everyone got on so well together. Idris our guide was amazing, one of those rare …

Morocco- Encounters Travel

This has been my second tour with Encounters Travel. My first was to Egypt in Nov 2012 and my second was Morocco in June 2013 and both tours were AMAZING. I'm a single female who travels alone but by the time I finish my tour I'm become part of a family. The tour guides are amazing, kind, and go out of their way to make your vacation memorable. Encounters give …

I have just returned from completing this tour and have to say it was fantastic! All the hotels were fabulous and in particular the one in Aswan situated right on the Nile. Financially it is such a good deal, so much is packed into the tour and you are totally looked after by the Encounters staff from start to finish. Huge thank you to Sobhy El Olaimy our tour guide, …

Nubian adventure was great, the guide made a difference

Just finished my Nubian adventure over Easter break.. .Pros - price, information and preparation before trip, excellent guide (Walid), the food- good cheap eats- good food on the road and in the hotels, while the food aboard the felucca was awesome, trip was well planned (early morning departure to avoid heat) Cons- the felucca is slow moving so we did not go that far, but it was still a unique …

Nubian Adventure-Egypt

Wow what a week I had in Egypt. I recommend this tour to people who like to get out of their comfort zone but have a nice hotel to come back to every now and then. Our tour guide Waleed was amazing. Very knowledgeable and looked after us really well. The Felucca ride was great, but bring a sleeping sheet and sleeping bag to keep warm at night. Cheap water …
