We arranged this tour through Encounters Travel and it was an amazing trip from start to finish. Tourism in Sudan is in its infancy so there was a real sense of discovery in the fields of pyramids and the ancient royal cities. The food and accommodation in Sudan were first-class and enabled us to see the sites in a high degree of comfort. Egypt is suffering so much economically at the moment from the lack of tourism, but we felt safe everywhere even though we were travelling well off the beaten track and visiting remote sites in Central Egypt. We planned the trip around the eastern desert monasteries of St .Antony and St. Paul and the Red Monastery outside Sohag which has been closed until very recently for many years for the restoration of its sublime frescoes: now it's like the Sistine Chapel but without the crowds. We were the only visitors and had the great good fortune to be shown around by the team responsible for the restoration who happened to be down from Cairo for a short stay to supervise ongoing restoration work in the monastery. courtyard.

What a wonderful trip!! 9 days in Egypt with BIG MO and rep WALED ALI. Their English was great. They felt lake family to us, taking care of all the details and sharing knowledge - Egyptologist every step of the way. They were amazing as they guided our tour from Cairo south to near the Sudanese border (Abu Simbel). Our group had 11 people (limited to 18). ALWAYS felt safe! So many "experience Egypt" opportunities: Giza pyramids, camels, overnight sleeper train to Aswan, Abu Simbel, visit to Nubian village, night on felucca, good hotels, Valley of the Kings (hot air balloon) and tour tombs, Luxor, Karnark, Hurgharda,etc. etc. HUGE THANKS AND SHOUT OUT TO ENCOUNTERS TRAVEL, ANT HORROBIN, BIG MO, AND WALED ALI! --M.

Just back from Sudan after visiting the land of the Nubian Pharaohs (Meroe, Jebel Barkal, Old Dongola, Khartoum, etc). From the very beginning Encounters Travel were flexible and attentive to my itinerary wishes. So so easy to deal with in the planning process and always getting back promptly - Thanks Anthony!

The trip itself was breath-taking. The guides were professional, flexible, friendly - all round perfect really. Also, the people met on the road were extremely welcoming. I never felt any security concerns.

I've travelled in over 20 countries in Africa over a few years and would highly recommend using Encounters travel. Greatly reassuring for a solo traveller.

Whilst the trip itself to Sudan which was run and managed by a local company was great, unfortunately I cannot recommend Encounters. Their UK office were impossible to get hold of, visa information limited, they charged a single supplement (£500) despite there being another passenger who would have shared if the option had been offered, and most importantly forgot to send me a critical email update about arrangements in relation to the local security situation.
