This was our first time on a guided tour and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Emad, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the historical roots of the country and also its modern-day culture in everyday life. We were able to do and see so much in the 9 days that we were there. We highly recommend adding the optional half-day tour of visiting Saqqara, Dashour & Memphis.
We just got back from a "Nubian Adventure" tour, and Encounters made the trip smooth and enjoyable. In particular, we have extremely high praise for our guide Mahmoud, who had a great sense of humor, had an excellent grasp of Egyptian history and culture, was easy to understand, and was good at wrangling the drifters and wanderers in our group. Overall, the selected hotels were very good (a couple were …

Although I haven't taken the tour yet, making the arrangements through Encounters Travel has been quick and easy, even when using a Groupon.
I've been to 4 countries in 4 months, My travel with Encounter was by far the BEST! Egypt was amazing. Now watching Ancient Aliens has true meaning when they air the episode about Egypt!
all questions were answered as needed

Everything was fantastic. Both of our guides, Big Mo in Egypt and Ibrahim Bunz in Jordan were amazing, their knowledge on everything was a pleasure to listen to. I definitely recommend both of the tours and EncountersTravel as a tour operator.
everybody are nice and helpful.
The tour was amazing. From the first minute since we got to Jordan till the minute our flight took off from Cairo, we had fabulous time. We had a last minute change of the hotel, but the Niroukh hotel staff was amazing. They fulfilled our every wish and were very helpful, the whole stay there was great. Unfortunately, there was a flood at Dead sea two days before we were …
Mariah responded to all 8 that booked in a very efficient response time answering all questions and queries. First time booking with Encounters Travel, first impressions excellent
This trip was a life long desire. I went with my wife at end of October 2018. The trip exceeded my expectations. The Egyptian Legacy itinerary was perfect for what we wanted to see and do in only 7 days. We also got very lucky and were the only two on the tour so we had a private tour guide and driver. Everything was very well coordinated and it was …
