Egypt- One of the BEST Trips EVER!!!

Groupon Egypt Trip via Encounters Travel 6/15-29/2019 While viewing trips on Groupon, I stumbled pass a 9 day trip to Egypt. With low expectations (i.e. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Groupon trip abroad). In the past, I purchased a hotel stay from them, and that was nice, but for those who travel abroad, there are many variables to consider, so you want to ensure everything is coordinated …

Outstanding 9-day Discover Trip to Egypt!!

Our trip to Egypt with Encounters Travel was extraordinary, definitely surpassing our expectations. From the moment we landed in Cairo, we were well-taken care of by the Encounters team. Our tour leader, Big Mo, succeeded in creating a sense of family among a group of 12 strangers who ranged in age from 25 to 66. Meanwhile, the tour director Sol worked behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly …

Gods of Egypt tour - Excellent

Just finished the Gods of Egypt 9-day tour, travelling with my mum. This tour was fast-paced and covered pretty much everything we wanted to see in Egypt. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of travelling to Egypt - the Encounters team were excellent and everything was extremely smooth from start to finish. Our Egyptologist guides (Hossam and Mohammed) were very knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions and …

Amazing Egypt Experience

I availed of the Jordan and Egypt Shoestring tour via Tourradar last Apr 29. The tours turned out to be subcontracted to Encounters travel, who we have been dealing with directly during the tour (Fez travel as middleman in Tourradar). The Egypt leg was the best part of the trip. We had the BEST tour guide, Ahmad Kamouna. His manner of explanation was very animated, interactive and educational; also very …

Egypt on a Shoestring tour

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Encounters Travel on the Egypt on a Shoestring tour. We were met at Cairo airport by Ahmed who ensured we had a smooth transfer to our hotel, briefed us on what to expect, and gave us valuable advice we used while in Egypt. Our Egyptologist Ahmad was simply amazing. He is not only knowledgeable and passionate about his work (he …

Egypt on a shoestring

I just took the Egypt on a shoestring tour and had an amazing time! I highly recommend this tour. Ahmed met us at the airport before going through customs, gave us a briefing on what to expect and even tracked down a lost suitcase for someone in our group. Not an easy feat since the bag had been missing for a week! Our tour guide Ahmad was exceptionally qualified, he's …

Shoestring tour in Egypt

We had a great visit in Egypt. This is the 2nd leg of our Jordan and Egypt on a shoestring tour. Our guide is Ahmad Kamouna, an egyptologist and a professor! We happen to be a small group and very intelligent :) so you can imagine how much we learned from Ahmad K. His passion and love of history and art inspired us. My 8 year old is ready to …

Amazing experience!

Just spent the last 8 days on the Egyptian Legacy tour, Encounters Travel reps were the best, we had someone with us every step of the way! Every detail was organized and selected for you. The knowledge of the tour guides Muhamood and Hussam were exceptional. I definitely recommend and will share experience with others.

Spiritually uplifting and educational

I have been on a number of tours and by far this trip was the best experience ever. From our arrival at Cairo to our departure we were provided with the best service from our guides. Waleed is an exceptional guide and made sure that the experience was informative and comfortable. Bathing in the Red Sea was my spiritual highlight and soulfully rewarding. Thank you for providing our family with …

Best trip of my life

Egypt has being one of the most amazing places I have visit so far. Their food, beauty, history and people make this place part of your life. Also, this is a country that you want to come back over and over again. My husband and I were so happy to have Encounters as our Travel agency. They took care of us like a family and helped us from the begging …

Trip of a lifetime

Hey everyone! So I took a 10 day tour of Egypt through encounters travel. We went through Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada, then back to Cairo. I was very worried for my safety because I was traveling alone, and had heard many things about Egypt not being safe, but the idea of seeing the Nile, and the pyramids and the Red Sea, drove me to travel anyway. I am mind blown …

Incredible

Egypt has always been on my travel bucket list, and when my travel buddy and I saw this package there was no turning back! It was a good balance of touring and relaxing. Our amazing guide really took exceptional care of us and gave us a true Egyptian experience. I feel so blessed to say I've crossed this off my list in such a wonderful way. 20/10 would do it …
