Both trips are very full shedules,with lots of time spent in transit between sites and quite a lot of walking at sites like Petra. For people who are older or less physically able i would recomend that you choose the time of year very carefully as the heat can make very simple tasks exhausting. For anyone considering this trip with an interest in Photography it's worth looking at the right …

Ayman was an awesome guide for the Egypt portion. Very interesting historical perspectives and personal insights. Itinerary is good except for two nights on Felucca. One night is sufficient and new location should be chosen for stop that has no animal droppings (lots of goat, sheep and donkey poop)

This was my first time travelling via a tour group and can say this was one of my favourite trips to date. In Jordan, our guide Taher was very knowledgeable and him and the driver (Hamdi) took good care of us. On our drive to Petra, due to unforseen circumstances, Taher let us know that we won't be able to visit Kerak castle but he took us to Shobak castle, …

This tour was good value for money. The accommodation exceeded my expectations, staff at the hotels were helpful and the dessert camp was way more luxurious than I would have expected. We had an aircon bus with wifi and it made all the difference on the longer travel days. The attractions are amazing, the people very friendly and the local food (when I got to try it) was very good. …

Could I live in Egypt?

On this, my 3rd tour in Egypt in 3 years, I was happily once again joining a tour under the expert guidance of tour manager, Egyptologist Waleed Kamouna. I was traveling with Encounters Tours for the 1st time, and though I did repeat sites I had seen before, I can never get enough of Hatshepsut's temple, of Karnak, of felucca cruises at sunset, and this time a 4 day stay …

Nice country, nice tour pals and nice people. We enjoyed the tour so much. The arrangement, transportation, accommodation were great. The services were honestly great too especially the services from the hotel crews at Hotel Monarch Amman. The drivers of the tour were friendly, responsive and provided us with safe drive along the journey. The tour would be perfect if the local guide could have improvement in service attitude, and …

8 Day Legacy Tour

The tour involves visits to Cairo, Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan, domestic flights from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan to Cairo, and a cruise on the Steigenberger Legacy from Luxor to Aswan. The tour was seamless. In our case, there were six of us on this small group tour. The itinerary satisfied all of my desired highlights and sites of ancient Egypt. Our guide Mahmoud was exceptional. He was …
