Jordan Tours From Amman
Coronavirus update: Safer Encounters scheme

Jordan Tours From Amman

When it comes to exploring the wonders of Jordan, there is no better starting point than Amman. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and strategic location, Amman offers a plethora of exciting tours that allow visitors to delve into the country's fascinating heritage. From ancient ruins to breathtaking landscapes, Jordan tours from Amman provide an unforgettable experience for travelers of all interests. One of the most popular tours from Amman is a visit to the ancient city of Petra. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true marvel, with its intricate rock-cut architecture and stunning natural surroundings. Walking through the narrow Siq, visitors are greeted by the iconic Treasury, followed by a maze of tombs, temples, and dwellings carved into the rose-colored cliffs. Exploring Petra is like stepping back in time, and it is a must-see destination for any traveler in Jordan. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, a tour to Wadi Rum is highly recommended. This desert valley, also known as the Valley of the Moon, offers a surreal landscape of towering sandstone mountains, vast sand dunes, and ancient rock carvings. Visitors can embark on a jeep safari or even spend a night under the stars in a traditional Bedouin camp. The breathtaking beauty and tranquility of Wadi Rum make it a highlight of any Jordan tour from Amman.

We had such a fantastic vacation in Egypt! We couldn’t it have planned this ourselves - so many venues, all smoothly scheduled with all transfers arranged. There was always a guide to make sure things went well, and they did indeed make everything work. From the pyramids to Luxor and the new amazing Grand Egyptian Museum, we always had a knowledgeable local certified guide who added immensely to our understanding. The Nile cruise boat was excellent as well, comfortable and fun!
I had many questions prior to and after booking, and the company provided excellent communication and support. Highly recommend!!

My friend and I purchased the 'Egypt Express Tour' provided by Encounters Travel and I must say, it was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life! We were assigned an agent from the company by the name of 'Mariska Knoesen'. She was very professional, proficient, and answered all of my questions and concerns, via e-mail, in a timely fashion. Upon our arrival in Egypt, we were greeted by a friendly team from Encounters Travel, who were all fluent in English. They assisted us with getting Egyptian visas and made exiting the airport easy. In total, it ended up being 9 of us grouped together. Our main tour guide was a gentleman by the name of 'Ashrafbehairy', whom we all referred to as "Ash" for short. HE WAS AMAZING!! We could not have asked for a better tour guide for our trip. He was very humble, kind, and knowledgeable. He accompanied us from Cairo to Aswan and then to Luxor and back to Cairo, via train. We visited several attractions such as the Pyramids, Philae Temple, Edfu Temple, and the Valley of the Kings (just to name a few). While at each sight, Ash explained its history to us and was able to answer all questions. He assisted with translation (Arabic and English) when needed, got us snacks, provided water, and took me to the shop to get items I desperately needed (sunblock and aloe lol). He even gave everyone a souvenir keychain at the end of our trip. Most importantly, we all felt SAFE! There is so much more I could say about this trip, but I will end by saying that it was honestly a great experience! I highly recommend purchasing this tour from Encounters Travel.

Encounters Travel, you did it again! We had an amazing and very memorable trip to Bhutan. It was very well organized. The tour company did a wonderful job. Our journey through Bhutan was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the country's serene landscapes and deep-rooted culture wrapped us in a sense of peace and wonder. The hike to Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery) was a breathtaking hike and an even more spiritual reward at the top. The view was surreal, and the monastery seemed to float on the cliffside. The trip leaves you with a calmer heart, a clearer mind, and memories that feel timeless!
