We went to Egypt in April 2017. Our tour exceeded our expectations in every way. The hotels were fabulous, the transportation was excellent but most of all our tour guide Waleed was top notch. He made us feel safe, he was kind and patient, exceedingly knowledgeable and also entertaining! I like to travel and I can honestly say that Waleed was the best tour guide i’ve ever had.

The trip was more than expected. Waleed, our guide, was nothing less than excellent. His had that rare combination of a wealth of knowledge and the gift to explain it while engaging the group. The trip between locations were well organized and all went smoothly.

Waleed was the best tour guide I have ever had! I went to Egypt in October 2016 and still think about that trip fondly! He ensured that everyone had a great time and I learned so much about ancient and present day Egypt. I have enthusiastically recommended him to family and friends!

We booked via Fez Travel but our tour was in fact run by Encounters Travel and was awesome! The Classic Egypt tour is full on - LOTS of painfully early mornings - but packs so much in, we came away feeling like we really got stuck in and that's priceless. Not the right tour if you're hoping to relax! Tip: if you are someone who is more into culture than …

A 'MUST-DO' for Everyone! - Discover Egypt by Encounters Travel

From start to finish; easy, affordable, safe and life-changing! Encounters Travel made reserving and preparing for the trip simple. Art and Mariska are kind and professional. I especially appreciated the entrance fee/tipping kitty idea. It made the tour less stressful and more time efficient. Request professional Egyptologist, Waleed Kamouna as your guide. His superior knowledge and sincere passion for his homeland and people bring ancient and modern Egypt to life! …
