This was a solo trip for me and it started in Jordan with my guide, Omar Almansi. Omar had such an amazing presence and spirit and I knew it was going to be as amazing as I was dreaming. Little Petra, Petra, camping in Wadi Rum… it was all incredible. Omar knew the significance of people seeing such incredible sites and his guiding did not disappoint! My trip then went …
Couldn’t recommend Enocunters Travel any more highly. We traveled all over Jordan and Egypt and it was seamless. From booking through departure it was a wonderful experience. Our tours guides Yassar and Ayman were professional, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. Our drivers, especially Mohannad in Jordan, but honestly all of them, were safe, considerate and enthusiastic. We saw so many things and made memories to last a life time. Everyone was …
My husband and I previously used Encounters Travel for a vacation to Egypt and Greece and therefore jumped at the opportunity to use them for our journey to Jordan. The expectations bar was high given our previous trips being absolutely amazing and something we wanted to replicate in many areas. Our trip to Jordan delivered on those expectations! From the encyclopedic knowledge of our guide, Omar, who explained the historical …
I can't say enough about what a great tour this was. I was a solo traveler. I was picked up at the airport and delivered to my hotel. All instructions were detailed. I started in Jordan and added the pre-tour days in Bethlehem with guide Amer. Amer was such a great guide, I was able to enjoy a wonderful lunch in Salt with him. My guide in Jordan, Omar Almansi …
We traveled to Jordan and Egypt! Great experience but what made it unforgettable was our tour guide, Ayman, in Egypt. He was so knowledgeable, educated, funny but overall a nice, good person!! If I was to ever go back to Egypt, I would definitely ask for him as my tour guide!! 5 stars for him!!!
I just returned from an Encounters Travel trip called “Jordan and Egypt Express” and the trip was amazing. Everyone at Encounters was fantastic with special mention going to Marika for all the help with our reservation, our guides Ebrihim (Jordan) and Mohammed in Egypt with his local Encounters Rep in Cairo Ahmad. This trip lived up to all that it was advertised. You literally get to see so much of …
We recently did a trip to Jordan and Egypt and we had a stellar and miraculous experience. The guides in the tours were incredible. And I want to comment on all the negative reviews. If you dont want a long bus ride, book a different tour. I enjoyed seeing the real egypt and jordan by bus and traveling through the Sahara and villages. People who are complaining are spoiled and …
I took the Jordan / Egypt express tour and it exceeded my expectations. The people, culture, ancient sites, tour guides- all were fantastic!
What a great time I had with my tour mates in Jordan along with our awesome guide, Mo-Bani, and our steady driver, Khaled. Together with Mariska at Encounters, they're the dream team! I had a few cirumstances unique to my travel -- added tour to a longer trip abroad -- Mariska handled this with ease and a friendly vibe. She provided multiple options I hadn't thought of after research and …
This is the second time I've used Encounters for my vacation and I would book through them again. This time we did their "Jordan on a Shoestring" tour and very much enjoyed it. Our guide, Mo-Bani Nasr, was fantastic and really made the vacation memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. While booking, Mariska Knoesen was always very patient and helpful. I look forward to traveling with them in the …
I took a solo trip to Jordan and my guide (Mo Bani Nasr) made what would’ve been a great trip AMAZING! A passionate, knowledgable guide makes all the difference in the world. It was beyond just learning and seeing, it was experiencing Jordan! I would absolutely book with this agency again.
My travel buddies and I decided to visit the amazing city of Egypt and Petra! Our destination was pretty long flight from LAX to layover at London then fly to Cairo Egypt. As soon as we got there it was about 3 a.m. and one of the encounter guide was there to pick us up. Got to the hotel, just to fresh in up a bit, had breakfast at 6 …
