I left my heart in Egypt

I just finished the Ancient EncountersTour of Jordan and Egypt. This review is for the Egypt portion of the tour. A very special thank you goes to the most amazing tour guide, Ahmad Kamouna, who showed us the beauty of Egypt through his eyes. He expressed wonder and awe at the brilliance of the ancient Egyptians and ensured that we understood the significance of each of the temples we visited. …

Discovery Egypt Tour

I recently came back from my Discover Egypt tour with Encounters travel. I cannot put into words how amazing, awe inspiring and well put together this trip was. I honestly had no expectations when booking, I thought it would be a fun experience because I had always wanted to travel to Egypt. I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences ever! We had such a fun, well …

Gods of Egypt Tour

Egypt was AMAZING!! I didn't want to come home. We arrived a couple of days early to do some of the additional tours. Alexandria was a beautiful day tour. I highly recommend it! We also did Memphis, Dahshur, and Saqqara. This was also fun, but much more active. Be prepared to workout. Our first guide, Islam, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun! If he didn't know the answer …

Don’t hesitate, just go to Egypt with these amazing guides!

I want to start this by saying don’t be afraid to go to Egypt! It’s an amazing country filled with so much history. They were very excited to share their culture and history with us. Going with a company like Encounters makes it just that much easier though...they took great care of us at every step of the way. If you’re debating to go or not, just DO IT! You …

Incredible experience with Encounters

I just returned from the Nubian Adventures tour. Encounters was first class with their quality from meeting at the airport to dropping us off at the airport ticket counter. Sol handled everything with professionalism and courtesy. Magz, guide, was simply the best. He was knowledgeable, funny and organized. The trip provided the right mix to visiting ancient sites while giving free time to relax at the resorts and on the …

Discover Egypt

Our Encounters tour to Egypt was amazing. Our tour guide Islam was the best. He brought so much energy to the group. Never a dull moment. Very accommodating. He kept us laughing which was a big plus. Looking forward to another trip to Egypt because it's just not possible to see everything in just 1 tour. I hope Islam is available. I would take his tour anytime.
