Awesome trip!!!

I love to travel and have visited many countries but I must say this trip tops them all! Not only did I feel safe but it was super fun and very educational. This tour highlights all of Egypt’s wonders along with a very relaxing stay by the Red Sea. Will be visiting again very soon!

BEST DREAM TRIP EVER!!

It has always been a dream to visit the Great Pyramids of Egypt and finally my dream came true. Not only did I have the chance to meet the Pyramids, I also had the chance to go to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple and then end the trip with some relaxation in Hurghada by the Red Sea which was breathtaking. This tour is very …

The tour guide made the tour extraordinary!

First let me say, if you are hesitating to visit Egypt, DON'T. Just go, it is safe, they are waiting to show you their country and the incredible history documented there. Security is everywhere and as a solo traveling female, I felt as safe as ever there. I joined the Nubian adventure after spending 5 days in Egypt, exploring the things I wouldn't see on the tour, on my own. …

Discover Egypt - A History teachers dream come true

In returning from the 9 day Discover Egypt tour, I wanted to share my experience. From our initial communications with Encounters Travel to our final day in Egypt, this was the most well organized tour I have experienced. We had a large group of friends and family (13) and while not speaking for our whole group, I can safely say I was beyond thrilled with my experience. We were met …

Best Tour Ever! Thanks Aboudy & Encounters Travel!

I’ve always wanted to travel to Egypt and when Encounters Travel happened to come up on my Facebook feed, it sounded like it was the kind of trip that I was looking for. The price was reasonable and the itinerary for the Nubian Adventure sounded perfect for me. Well, it exceeded my expectations! It was my first solo trip outside of North America so I was a little nervous about …

Discover Egypt tour

I've done guided tours in the past and this was by far the best experience with a tour company yet. Excellent service from booking, airport and hotel transfers and knowledge of the tour guides. Felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. Trip itself was amazing, the schedule is jam packed but we'll worth it. You really get the full Egyptian experience with this tour, from ancient Egypt …

Discover Egypt

We finished the Discover Egypt tour ,it was fast paced,but not rushed the sites. Sherif was the best guide we have ever had! He saw that every thing went smoothly .Greeted us with falafel sandwiches on those very early morning departures and truly cared about each and every one of our needs,whether it was an injury,illness or dietary requirements. His knowledge of history is unsurpassed! He is highly educated and …

DISCOVER EGYPT TOUR (APRIL 2019)

We booked in Brisbane through Trip A Deal, and travelled with Encounters Travel from Cairo. Airport pickups (and departures) and all hotel checkins were efficiently managed. Our tour guide "Big Mo" gave us concise briefings, good local advice and in depth information. He spoke slowly and clearly, easily understood. He managed our group of 13 (tour maximum limited to 18) tightly (in a friendly manner) to maintain a carefully planned …

Encounters Travel Small Group Sands and Seas Tour

Beyond the amazing pyramids, Egyptian museum, ATV trip, incredible tombs, and the most beautiful all-inclusive resort on the Red Sea, this trip was absolutely made by our Egyptologist, Mohamed El-Maghrabi! Our group was so fun and inclusive and Mohamed was the most incredible tour guide. In my opinion, he ensured a value level trip became a first class experience. We felt comfortable and safe the entire time and through Mohamed …

A complete dream tour

My buddy and I just returned from the 9-day Discover Egypt tour with Mohammed El-Maghrabi as our tour guide. What an incredible adventure!!! The entire trip was a breeze with everything laid out day to day. I loved this organization. Mohammed was fantastic. His knowledge and passion in Egyptology made the trip so meaningful. I can't recommend this tour enough.
