Fun and fascinating tour

I did the short 6 day tour of Cairo and Luxor sites. The itinerary was quite busy but meant we got to see all the main sites.Although it took a couple of days to get used to some of the shopkeepers at the tourist sites (a firm no and putting up your hand normally does the trick!), and some places are very hectic, I felt safe there and didn't hear …

Encounters 6 day Cairo Tour

It went by way too quickly but I enjoyed every minute of it. The hotels we stayed in were very nice and clean and the sleeper train experience was a unforgettable one but in a good way. The heat was tough but my tour guide always made sure we had water and shade and was so informed on the Egyptian history that I was able to learn so much. I …

Trip of a Lifetime!

Cannot say enough good things about this adventure! There were eleven of us, friends and family, ages 28 to 70 and we all had a wonderful time. We had the most amazing tour guide, Waleed Kamouna. He has a PhD in Egyptology and was not only a fountain of information, but made learning fun as well. He went above and beyond what anyone would expect and we now consider him …

Solo traveller - what an amazing experience.

This is the first time I have used Encounters Travel and it wont be the last!

Big Mo is the best

This trip was definitely one for the books. Islam greeted us at the airport and took care of us all the way through getting our visa, to our bags, to getting us to the hotel. Big Mo was our guide, and OMG he was the best! He was so knowledgeable and had an answer for every question. He looked out for us every step of the way, even in a …

Mind-blowing Egyptian adventure!

We had the trip of a lifetime with Encounters Travels on their 9 day Nubian Adventure with Waleed Kamouna as our exceptional tour guide, helping us make our way through Egyptian history, arts, culture, food and general ways of life from thousands of years ago to today. Right from day 1 when Soul, their exceptional operations guru and tour leader picked us from the airport and checked us in earlier …

Family trip to Egypt

Thank you Encounters Travel for your time and patience with all my questions before booking this trip! Egypt has been beyond amazing and has surpassed what we (my mom, sister and myself) thought it would be. Our tour manager, Islam, was so helpful and friendly throughout our trip and we were thankful to have him in the background organising each step! Luckily we didn't have any real issues but some …

Amazing insight in to the wonders of Egypt

Always plenty of support and advice from tour guides. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Tipping kitty organized by agents took away constant hassle of tipping expected for services other than loo breaks. Hotels were very clean, all services you might want were met by hoteliers. Resort in Hergurdah was not our cup of tea but grateful for the rest as tour was full on fun. Felucca was incredible experience, all …

Always supported

Encounters Travel have always supplied a guide and driver there for you . All the guides we had were so enthusiastic about the history of their country. Very knowledgeable and keen to answer all questions about Egyptian way of life both modern and ancient. Great value for money when you think of the support. I don't think you could do it for the same price if you consider transport costs, …

Beautiful Egyptian Adventure!

I just arrived home today from my Nubian Adventure Tour led by the amazing Waleed Kamouna. The whole experience from beginning to end was one of my best adventures! Our group saw so many amazing sites and have amazing memories of our time together in Egypt. We spent time in Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and on a traditional Felucca Boat. Everything was well organized and planned for, even down to the …
