Egypt Sand and Seas

Just completed the 11 days Egypt Sand and Seas tour and it was one of our best tours ever. Encounters does an excellent job and our Egypt tour director was excellent! I highly recommend this tour!

A safe, positive and incredible experience

Hello future Nubians and Beaches explorers! I just completed the 13- Day Tour and it was amazing. Mariah with Encounter Tours was very attentive to coordinate our pre-tour paperwork. She responded promptly to all inquiries I had made. Upon arriving to Cairo, we were greeted by Saul, the Tour Manager. He quickly directed us through the hustle and bustle of Customs at the airport with no delay. Our 13- Day …

Trip of a Lifetime

I can't recommend this trip enough. From start to finish, Encounter's travel had everything covered, from airport transfers, excursions, hotels, and the BEST tour guide Mahmoud. We felt safe the entire time we were on this tour, but I would recommend taking a tour company while travelling in Egypt. I can't imagine trying to figure out transportation or handling the sites solo. All hotels were stayed at were great- Le …

First International Solo Trip to Egypt

I must say that every minute of the Discover Egypt trip was absolutely amazing! If you go to Egypt and have Ahmad Kamouna as your tour guide you would be in for a real treat and your trip will go from amazing to spectacular. The amount of knowledge he has of Egyptian history, his humor, and the love and care he has for the members of his tour group made …

Amazing Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience!!!

I traveled with my family (my 30th birthday celebration!) and it was the first time any of us had been to Egypt and we had such a great time!!! Everything was planned out very well by the tour company, the accommodations were beautiful, and we never once felt unsafe. The group size of the tour was small which was perfect and made for a very personalized experience. Our tour guide …

Excellent from start to finish

We recently returned from a Discover Egypt tour through Encounters Travel. It was an A+ from start to finish. The hotels, tour buses and restaurants were all terrific. The itinerary was designed to cover everything of interest for folks who would maybe not be coming back there. We felt safe the entire time and the Egyptian people were extremely warm and friendly. The sights themselves blew our minds on a …

Excellent tour of Egypt with Encounters

I visited Egypt in February and it was an amazing trip. Our tour guide Ahmad Kamouna was so knowledgeable which made it even more interesting. Our felucca lunch on the Niles followed by dinner on the banks of the river under the perfect moonlight was extraordinary. Also, our hot air balloon ride overlooking the Valley of kings and queens was out of this world. Ahmad was always making sure that …

Outstanding trip - Big Mo, Egyptologist

This trip was fantastic, informative from start to finish. We were a small group of 13. We were lucky: everyone was congenial and punctual, meeting up at the appointed times, and Big Mo, our guide, with years of experience, paved our way from start to finish doling out sound advice, tips and precautions. There are a couple of things you might want to know: 1) The food is delicious but …

The Discovery Egypt tour has been well put together covering the best of Egypt in 9 days. The trip itinerary is well thought out, full of wonderful adventures and fabulously hosted. The tour starts with the most pioneering feats of engineering the great Pyramids of Giza moving onto the breath taking views, clear blue skies, lush greenery and incredible edifices in Aswan, Philae island, Abu Simbel, Edfu and Luxor.

Tour was fantastic! Got to see so many things with an excellent guide and didn't have to worry about planning any of it. Hotels were fine, itinerary was jam packed, but flexible depending on how much you wanted to do and see, with all the major must-see places on the list. Most of the sites you spent just the right amount of time at, and given the limited amount of …
