This tour was the perfect balance of culture, excursions & relaxation. Everything was organized and well planned from airport pickup to hotel stays to included excursions. The highlight besides seeing the pyramids, temples and many artifacts was our beyond awesome tour guide, Islam Gaber. He was attentive, helpful, informative and extremely nice. We were a group of 8 women and he took care of us all like we were his …
Everything from pick to up to drop off with Encounters was amazing ! The food and sites and staff at different locations were so friendly and helpful . We did everything we could and were given free time to explore on our own. Thanks to the amazing tour guide ( Islam G. ) he’s in the first photo 😃 Ladies in Egypt was a wonderful experience and highly recommend this …
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 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. …
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 …

(Food in Egypt is Amazing!) From the arrival and airport transfers and their on the …
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 …
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 …
Excellent travel company. Met in the airport by Annis who guided us through getting our visas, exchanging money etc which saved us a lot of guesswork. We were looked after from the time we met him till the day we were dropped back at the airport to return home. Highly recommend this tour, our 2 egyptologists were fantastic, helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for them …
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 …
I did the discover Egypt tour with guide Mohammad El-Maghrabi. The group was fantastic and super Mo was a wonderful chilled out guide that made the tour amazing. I would highly recommend!
What a whirlwind adventure!! I felt like I saw and did everything I could have hoped for in such a short time. Amazing guide (Super-Mo Mohamed), great people, and stellar organization made for a seamless and unforgettable adventure. Would do this again in a heartbeat!
