Amazing trip!!

We the most amazing time in Egypt! Our tour guides “Big Moe” in Cairo and Abudi in Aswan and Luxor and Mohammed in Hurghada were wonderful! They were informative, courteous and ensured we had the best experience! We went ballooning over the Valley of the kings, sailed and slept on a falluca in the Nile. Visited The Nubian people and Bedouin tribes, rode camels and went down in the Giza …

Yes, book with Encounters - you won't regret it!

An amazing trip was coordinated by Encounters Travel. From the minute you step off the plane, you are greeted by a representative who assists you with your Visa and takes you to your hotel. Saul was very helpful if a little taciturn but thankfully he was not our tour guide. Big Mo was our tour guide and he was the best!!!! Big Mo shepherded us through all of Egypt and …

Best vacation ever

Absolutely loved this vacation! The price was extremely reasonable and included so much! The hotels were luxurious, the scheduling very well done and the guides made our vacation amazing, specially Hany, the way he explained all the facts and the mythology transported us to ancient Egypt. This was a magical vacation that we will never forget. Big Kudos to your company for making it happen.

GO TO EGYPT! It was an amazing experience. I'm so glad we chose Egypt and Encounter travel. I can't say enough good.

How well the tour company and all of Egypt took care of us and made us feel safe and welcome. It's hard to choose a favorite activity. Every site was so incredible to see.

Trip of a lifetime!

A 9-day tour of Egypt has a lot of promise. And boy did this tour live up the promise! Super Mo was the most fantastic tour guide and ambassador to Egyptian culture. He was thoughtful, honest, and went out of his way to ensure the trip was a success for everyone. I was impressed with every aspect of this tour: from booking to airport drop off. I will definitely book …

Best travel experience yet

I have spent a collective 5 years of my life living abroad and have visited 80 countries ranging from organized tours to solo travel. This week in Egypt was bar none the most incredible travel experience to date. The pace was perfect, the sites amazing, the food incredible, and the people are kind and welcoming. Our tour guide, Super Mo, shared his incredible country with us and brought ancient history …

Our guide made this trip beyond amazing!

Our guide Mohamed AKA Super Mo made this trip beyond amazing, everything was taken care of from transportation to accommodations. There was not a day that went by that Super Mo didn't teach us something new such as haggling for better prices to life and culture of the ancient Egyptians. Super Mo shared his life, culture, and knowledge of his country and embraced us like family instead of tourists, Encounters …

Life-changing experience!

Visiting Egypt has been a childhood dream and after years of solo travel I booked this tour with Encounters and it exceeded expectations! It was a complete opposite of what I had experienced with tour groups from my childhood in that Encounters organized the itinerary seamlessly! We were personally ushered by our guide, Super Mo, to every attraction without having to wait at all for tickets, and the timing for …

Trip of a Lifetime!

I've been on many guided tours throughout the years and this was by far the most enjoyable. Our tour guide Super Mo (short for Mohammed) is an Egyptologist and brought all the of ancient mythology to life, including having us act out a short play that explained the genesis of the ancient Egyptian gods. We saw the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, Antiquities Museum in Cairo, Abu Simbel, Temple of Philae, …

9-day Nubian Adventure

One word: AWESOME. Well worth the money given the excellent itinerary. You see all of the major monuments, temples, museums, markets and culture. The tour guide had a doctorate in the Egyptian archeology with over 20 year experience. There wasn’t one question from the group he couldn’t answer and his English was excellent. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
