Nubian Adventure with Saadoon

The Good: It was a good guided first look at Egypt. The wealth of surviving history in Egypt is a lot more than the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. The temples visited and the stories behind them are really interesting. There is a lot of overlap of the stories and markings on the temples that towards the end, the enthusiasm for temple visits waned. I would always cherish the …

A Great Introduction to the Wonders of Egypt!

Encounters Travel can be very highly recommended for their attention to detail and the care and concern they have for their clientele. For anyone traveling to Egypt for the first time, all of the major sites were included or offered as options. With the exception of the sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan, which was dirty and run down, the accommodations were first rate and travel arrangements were excellent. The …

Discover Egypt 9 Day Tour

Really fabulous tour. It's definitely a hectic week with early starts, and by the end of it, you'll surely feel "templed out." However, you'll get to see incredible sites like the pyramids, Karnak, Valley of the Kings, and spend an afternoon sailing on the Nile. The guides are very knowledgeable. I would also recommended the Abu Simbel add on as the temple is just magnificent. Also, the night on the …

Encounters Travel Discover Egypt Tour a great experience

A friend of mine recommended the Discover Egypt Tour through Encounters Travel. We booked the trip in January and traveled in May. The staff at Encounters in UK was fantastic - thanks Anthony! The local staff in Cairo was also fantastic! Islam met us at the airport and guided us through the entire process. We had a small group of 8 and the BEST EGYPTOLOGIST - Mohamed. There were never …

Awesome, in the truest sense!

My "Discover Egypt" tour with Encounters Travel was the trip of a lifetime. It covered all the most important sites of ancient Egypt, for an unbelievable price. Our guide, Waleed, was extremely knowledgeable and very organized, and the care he put into everything made the group feel like a family (in the good way). The add-ons, a trip to the temples of Abu Simbel and a balloon ride, were well …

Nubian Adventure was amazing!

I went on the Nubian Adventure 9-day tour in early October and loved it. I am usually a solo traveler that does my own thing, but I knew that Egypt would be a different story so I took a chance on the Encounters tour and it did not disappoint. My group (shout out to the family) was a great mix of people - range of age groups, backgrounds, some couples …

9 day Nubian adventure

My major complaint is when I booked this tour I was not informed that the overnight sitting train has not allowed foreign tourists to ride since 2011. You are 100% guaranteed to have to pay for the upgrade. Other than that I'd recommend people taking the flight to Aswan than the train due to the rooms being very tiny, the washrooms completely disgusting and if you like meals of just …

Nubian Adventure Tour

If you are planning on visiting Egypt to see the main tourist sites, then do not worry about the concerns of safety. As a blonde single woman traveling with another female, we never felt unsafe, both when we were with our guides but also when we ventured out in the afternoons and at night on our own. I would recommend Encounters Travel. Ant in the main office was very quick …

Amazing Nubian Tour - Highly Recommended

I took the Nubian adventure tour with Encounter travels, and it was amazing. Since arriving in Egypt, one of their representatives was waiting for me and helped me with all procedures. Everything was flawlessly organized, and our assigned Egyptologist (Medo), was a fantastic guide. The chosen hotels, the attractions, the service, everything top notch. Very recommended. The felucca trip is AMAZING, and one of the highlights of the trip. The …

Great guide

Encounters Travel - 10 day Egypt tour: This was an excellently planned trip with plenty of time to see the sites (except maybe want extra time at the Cairo Museum - like an extra month :). Waleed K. is an excellent and thoughtful guide, always checking in with us to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. My one concern is the use of animals (camels and horses) …

Awesome experience at a very reasonable price

Our trip to Egypt was by far, the best trip of my life! My husband and I have never been on a tour before. We actually like being solo. But because neither of us were familiar with Egypt, we decided to go the tour route; and I'm glad we did! Every part of the tour was exciting to say the least. Seeing all the ancient wonders is something we will …
