Best Tour Ever! Thanks Aboudy & Encounters Travel!

I’ve always wanted to travel to Egypt and when Encounters Travel happened to come up on my Facebook feed, it sounded like it was the kind of trip that I was looking for. The price was reasonable and the itinerary for the Nubian Adventure sounded perfect for me. Well, it exceeded my expectations! It was my first solo trip outside of North America so I was a little nervous about …

Discover Egypt tour

I've done guided tours in the past and this was by far the best experience with a tour company yet. Excellent service from booking, airport and hotel transfers and knowledge of the tour guides. Felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. Trip itself was amazing, the schedule is jam packed but we'll worth it. You really get the full Egyptian experience with this tour, from ancient Egypt …

Discover Egypt

We finished the Discover Egypt tour ,it was fast paced,but not rushed the sites. Sherif was the best guide we have ever had! He saw that every thing went smoothly .Greeted us with falafel sandwiches on those very early morning departures and truly cared about each and every one of our needs,whether it was an injury,illness or dietary requirements. His knowledge of history is unsurpassed! He is highly educated and …

DISCOVER EGYPT TOUR (APRIL 2019)

We booked in Brisbane through Trip A Deal, and travelled with Encounters Travel from Cairo. Airport pickups (and departures) and all hotel checkins were efficiently managed. Our tour guide "Big Mo" gave us concise briefings, good local advice and in depth information. He spoke slowly and clearly, easily understood. He managed our group of 13 (tour maximum limited to 18) tightly (in a friendly manner) to maintain a carefully planned …

Encounters Travel Small Group Sands and Seas Tour

Beyond the amazing pyramids, Egyptian museum, ATV trip, incredible tombs, and the most beautiful all-inclusive resort on the Red Sea, this trip was absolutely made by our Egyptologist, Mohamed El-Maghrabi! Our group was so fun and inclusive and Mohamed was the most incredible tour guide. In my opinion, he ensured a value level trip became a first class experience. We felt comfortable and safe the entire time and through Mohamed …

A complete dream tour

My buddy and I just returned from the 9-day Discover Egypt tour with Mohammed El-Maghrabi as our tour guide. What an incredible adventure!!! The entire trip was a breeze with everything laid out day to day. I loved this organization. Mohammed was fantastic. His knowledge and passion in Egyptology made the trip so meaningful. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Trip of a lifetime

This was my second time in Egypt, and it was in all, a great experience. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the guide we had; Saadoon was knowledgeable, adaptable, fun, and made sure that we all had an optimal experience to the best of his ability. I wanted a certain book, and he made it happen. If we communicated our desires to him, he did his very best to …

Nubian Adventure!

We originally booked our 10day tour with a groupon deal and we’re plesently surprised at how well the deal worked out. We had some issues getting into contact with the booking agency over the phone I’m the USA, but received great email responses from the UK office. Our tour was amazing! We had the most wonderful guide (Saadoon) who really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy …

Gods of Egypt

We just returned from the 9 day Gods of Egypt tour and it exceeded our expectations. Everything was (almost) perfectly organized, from pick up at the airport to drop off on our last day. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, especially Emad who was our tour guide from Aswan to Luxor. They were willing to answer any question you had about Egypt, and I felt they were really interested in …

What an amazing experience!!! I cannot say enough good things about this tour through Egypt but when asked what were the top highlights my response has been; 1) Our absolutely amazing tour guide Saadoon! He was so incredibly knowledgable, well spoken, considerate, fun, flexible and went above and beyond for each and every one of my tour mates. If you needed something big or small he made it happen without …
