GO! Egypt has been a dream of mine and I couldn't believe I finally got the chance to visit this July. Everything I've read in books and seen in documentaries, movies, etc finally came alive for me. Nothing beats, touch a Great Pyramid or Sailing on the Nile like Cleopatra. I'm glad I went during the summer as there were less tourist, and even though it was hot, less people …
I loved this tour! I was traveling by myself and everyone always made me feel so comfortable. Anuss has everything so perfectly organized so that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. All of the tour guides were impressively knowledgeable and loved answering all of my questions. Mustafa was my tour guide through Cairo and loved his job so much. He was always just as excited as I …
I did the 9 days around Egypt tour and it was amazing! I liked the busy schedule and seeing as much as possible. The Felucca down the Nile is a must! Food was amazing as well as all of the hotels! I wish it was longer bc there was so much more to see and do!
Very well organised tour, good accommodations, knowledgable guides in particular Saadoo in Egypt . We had a great holiday, can highly recommend the tour and Encounter travel. Regards Gabriele and Klaus from Australia

Our trip to Egypt with Encounters was an amazing adventure. Our tour guide, Ahmed Aboudy, was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history/culture, very well organized, and truly fun to be with. Aboudy made our trip extremely meaningful and memorable, and I am so grateful for his time and attention. The trip was thoughtful organized so every experience and each temple was more impressive than the last. In …
Amazing trip that covered so much in a short amount of time. Walked was an excellent guide and really treated us like family.
I had the most amazing time in Egypt with Encounters and Big Mo. Everything was organized and efficient. I was able to see so much of the amazing country! Highly recommend it!
Groupon Egypt Trip via Encounters Travel 6/15-29/2019 While viewing trips on Groupon, I stumbled pass a 9 day trip to Egypt. With low expectations (i.e. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Groupon trip abroad). In the past, I purchased a hotel stay from them, and that was nice, but for those who travel abroad, there are many variables to consider, so you want to ensure everything is coordinated …
Our trip to Egypt with Encounters Travel was extraordinary, definitely surpassing our expectations. From the moment we landed in Cairo, we were well-taken care of by the Encounters team. Our tour leader, Big Mo, succeeded in creating a sense of family among a group of 12 strangers who ranged in age from 25 to 66. Meanwhile, the tour director Sol worked behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly …
Only criticism was that the initial meeting time and place was not clear. But from that point I couldn’t fault anything, the trip exceeded expectations. Special thanks to Mohamed who couldn’t do enough for the group.
Our tour guide/driver, Abdou Benhamou, was the highlight of the trip. He made it a magical experience. He was very helpful and went way beyond his job to ensure that all of four of us were looked after and were enjoying our trip. He was professional and empathetic to all of our traveling needs. It was apparent that he was absolutely passionate about his job. He was very enthusiastic and …
