Moroccan Circuit Tour

My wife and I have recently returned from the Moroccan Circuit Tour with Encounters Travel and really enjoyed it. Our guide Khalid and our driver Mohammed were great - really helpful and friendly. The booking process with Encounters Travel was really good and we always got a quick response to any questions we had. On the tour, the minibus was modern, comfortable and air conditioned. We experienced many different things, …

A wonderful trip

From the minute we stepped into the Arrivals area at Cairo airport to stepping into the Departures area 10 days later were looked after with care and friendliness and with great efficiency. Any queries we had were quickly dealt with, (thank you Ahmed) and we couldn’t fault anything. Both our guides in Cairo and on our Dahabiya (Mohammeds) were excellent, so full of knowledge and able to bring 4000 years …

Stellar

We recently did a trip to Jordan and Egypt and we had a stellar and miraculous experience. The guides in the tours were incredible. And I want to comment on all the negative reviews. If you dont want a long bus ride, book a different tour. I enjoyed seeing the real egypt and jordan by bus and traveling through the Sahara and villages. People who are complaining are spoiled and …

Trip of a Lifetime!

I've been on many guided tours throughout the years and this was by far the most enjoyable. Our tour guide Super Mo (short for Mohammed) is an Egyptologist and brought all the of ancient mythology to life, including having us act out a short play that explained the genesis of the ancient Egyptian gods. We saw the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, Antiquities Museum in Cairo, Abu Simbel, Temple of Philae, …

Don’t hesitate, just go to Egypt with these amazing guides!

I want to start this by saying don’t be afraid to go to Egypt! It’s an amazing country filled with so much history. They were very excited to share their culture and history with us. Going with a company like Encounters makes it just that much easier though...they took great care of us at every step of the way. If you’re debating to go or not, just DO IT! You …

Amazing Egypt Experience

I availed of the Jordan and Egypt Shoestring tour via Tourradar last Apr 29. The tours turned out to be subcontracted to Encounters travel, who we have been dealing with directly during the tour (Fez travel as middleman in Tourradar). The Egypt leg was the best part of the trip. We had the BEST tour guide, Ahmad Kamouna. His manner of explanation was very animated, interactive and educational; also very …

Egypt on a Shoestring tour

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Encounters Travel on the Egypt on a Shoestring tour. We were met at Cairo airport by Ahmed who ensured we had a smooth transfer to our hotel, briefed us on what to expect, and gave us valuable advice we used while in Egypt. Our Egyptologist Ahmad was simply amazing. He is not only knowledgeable and passionate about his work (he …

Trip of a Lifetime

I can't recommend this trip enough. From start to finish, Encounter's travel had everything covered, from airport transfers, excursions, hotels, and the BEST tour guide Mahmoud. We felt safe the entire time we were on this tour, but I would recommend taking a tour company while travelling in Egypt. I can't imagine trying to figure out transportation or handling the sites solo. All hotels were stayed at were great- Le …

Spectacular tour in Egypt !!

I spent 11 days - not enough time - in a country that is full of color , life , beauty , laughter , delicious food and the birthplace of civilization. As soon as I got off the plane the tour leader , Islam Gaber , was there to make sure all goes smoothly with the visa , luggage, airport proceedings. I call him Magic Islam because I’ve not seen …

Encounters Travel: 9-Days Discover Egypt Tour

My wife, adult daughter, granddaughter and I did the "Discovery Egypt" tour offered by Encounters Travel. Although I was skeptical about taking a trip to Egypt because of concerns about safety and whether Americans in this time of the terrible trump presidency would be welcomed, my fears were unfounded. It was an exception experience and we are very well-traveled people who've done many trips abroad and who in fact have …
