Discover Egypt - and find out how marvelous it really is!

This was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it! Encounters Travel did a great job from start to finish. Communication was great. The tour was not only as advertized, but it was better than advertized! The local company Encounters uses in Egypt was very attentive and helpful. Their personnel were reliable, friendly, knowledgable and took care of everything. I am not normally a "guided tour" type, but Egypt was …

Classic Egypt Tour Was Awesome!

We had a wonderful experience with Encounters for our Egypt tour. Everything was great, from booking, pre-trip communication, accommodations, transfers, guides and drivers. We anticipated a "small group" tour but we were the only couple who booked this particular week. To our surprise, we had a guide and driver all to our selves! Our guide in Luxor did need to make some adjustments to the itinerary due to changes in …

Jordan and Egypt Express was exceptional

I just returned from an Encounters Travel trip called “Jordan and Egypt Express” and the trip was amazing. Everyone at Encounters was fantastic with special mention going to Marika for all the help with our reservation, our guides Ebrihim (Jordan) and Mohammed in Egypt with his local Encounters Rep in Cairo Ahmad. This trip lived up to all that it was advertised. You literally get to see so much of …

Stellar

We recently did a trip to Jordan and Egypt and we had a stellar and miraculous experience. The guides in the tours were incredible. And I want to comment on all the negative reviews. If you dont want a long bus ride, book a different tour. I enjoyed seeing the real egypt and jordan by bus and traveling through the Sahara and villages. People who are complaining are spoiled and …

Jordan/ Egypt Express is a must do!

Wish I could rate Encounters higher! From the onset, Anthony (Ant) was professional and extremely knowledgeable, and far more helpful than I had hoped. He always had time to respond to my inquiries and never showed any sign of frustration...no matter how many times I asked the same question. Meeting Saul at the Cairo airport shows just how valuable the RIGHT travel rep is: he had us go from the …

Amazing experience with a world class organization!

I just returned home from the Pharonic Encounters tour and I’m extremely impressed. The care, professionalism, knowledge and hospitality my whole family received from the Encounters staff was incredible. We were lucky to have Big Mo as our tour guide. I think the “Big” part refers to his vast knowledge of Egyptology as well as his heart. He exceeded every expectation and was so good with our 9 and 6 …

TRIP OF A LIFETIME! (Thanks Mostafa and Mahmoud!!)

To say that this trip was incredible is the understatement of the year! Encounters Travel was with us every step of the way making our adventures seamless and easy. We paid for a group tour but lucky enough no one else booked that week so it was just my Mom and I! It was absolutely insane! Twice on our trip our awesome tour manager Ahmed gave us free upgrades, first …

Discover Egypt Tour with Encounters Travel was amazing

My 13 year old daughter and I just spent 12 days in Egypt with Encounters Travel. We can not speak highly enough of our Discover Egypt tour. Right from when we were met at Cairo airport to when we departed we had expert tour guides, amazing accommodation and everything was organized perfectly. We can not fault anything for the whole time we were there. We’d like to say a special …

Gods of Egypt

We did the 10 day Gods of Egypt tour and it was of the best vacations I've had. Our tour guide Sharif was knowledgeable and very social. Sharif never missed a heartbeat and went our of his way to take care of our needs. The other guides were also fantastic, but Sharif made this trip remarkable.

Gods of Egypt - Wonderful Tour, Will Book Again with Encounters

We wholeheartedly recommend Encounters Tours and the Gods of Egypt Tour! Egypt has been on our wishlist for a very long time, but traveling during Covid made us nervous. We needn't have worried. There are very few tourists headed to Egypt (at a couple temples we were the only party), and Encounters took care of or prepared us for every detail from the moment we landed until we left with …
