Egypt & Jordan 14 day tour

Just finished Egypt & Jordan. I cannot say enough good things about our tour guide for Egypt, Islam’s hospitality and 5 star service. He went above and beyond in every way; upgrades, personalized attention, knowledgeable and enthusiasm, helping with special arrangements, dealing with difficult guests with professionalism. Our Egyptian experience would not have been the same without him. We loved all the sites, the mix of public and luxury, upscale …

Egypt and Jordan

Great experience in Egypt, company looked after us from start to finish, only thing I would change would be not doing Nile cruise in Cairo. Jordan was also good but needed to have a couple of nicer hotels in Amman and Petra ( I would have paid more to avoid these rooms) Staff in both countries were very knowledgeable and good to deal with.

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. …

Jordan and Egypt shoestring

Had a wonderful adventure! Was amazing seeing Petra and the Pyramids. Loved Egypt! Had lots of laughs, meet great people and learned a lot of interesting history from our great guide, Tamer. He was so knowledgable and easy to understand and was very informative about pros and cons of touring Egypt. If your considering going, I would highly recommend requesting him as your guide for your next trip... I definitely …

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 …

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 …

Great experience, amazing guide, life goals ✔️

We joined our Encounters tour in Cairo having booked through Trip a Deal here in Australia. From the moment we landed (we had just finished a tour of Jordan) our guide Waleed was there to make sure we got to our hotel and that our experience in Egypt was one we would remember for the right reasons. This tour included all the usual sights in Cairo- pyramids, Sphinx and museum- …

Jordan on the Shoestring & Nubian Egypt Adventure: A memorable trip

We have just completed a memorable trip in Jordan and Egypt yesterday with the Encounters Travel which in my opinion is the best Tour Operator. We had been well look after at every stage from the time of landing at Amman's Queen Alia Airport to the departure at Cairo International Airport. At one point, our luggage were left behind by the very bad service of the Royal Jordanian Airlines during …

Jordan Shoestring Tour - AMAZING

Cannot recommend this tour enough! As a solo female traveler, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. And so I was pleasantly surprised that there were absolutely no hiccups during this travel starting from the very beginning with the airport transfer, which was absolutely seamless, as was the visa process, which took no longer than 2 minutes! My flight changed the day of departure and I was pleased that Encounters …

Beyond your Expectations

I experienced the Jordan Shoestring tour which was 6 days in total with the first and last day being transfer to/from airport. The overall experience from booking this tour through Encounters Travel was effortless and smooth from arriving in Jordan and someone there waiting for you and sorts things out for you then transferred to Hotel. The tour was absolutely beyond my expectations and everything from sightseeing, souvenir shops and …

Incredible visit, fantastic tour!

My wife and I normally don't do organized tours, but we chose to for visiting Egypt and Jordan. Egypt was pretty much perfect. We saw so much, learned a great deal from the highly educated and personable guides, and stayed in very nice lodgings. The organization of the Egypt portion of the tour was also excellent - at no point did we feel uninformed, confused, or annoyed. Mahmoud was our …
