Life changing adventure

The experience I had with Encounters in Egypt was so incredible that I would recommend it to anyone that's ever had the dream of seeing the pyramids or the Nile or Luxor... Encounters treats you like VIP and the guides are all cool and educated on everything Egypt. They catered to our interests and additions to the itinerary like Saqarra and hot-air balloons (both are a must). I was so …

Exceptional, 5-Star First Visit to Egypt

We loved the Egyptian Legacy tour! Encounters Travel (and their Upper Egypt partner, Lady Egypt Tours) made the entire experience seamless, safe and a dream come true. We saw all of the sites we had always wanted to see since we were children, and more! Travel is our passion, and we we have always had a visit to Egypt on our "bucket list." We usually plan our trips on our …

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 …

Discover Egypt Tour

The Discover Egypt tour was absolutely amazing. The tour receives four stars (for reasons I’ll discuss below) but our phenomenal tour guide Mahmoud elevated our experience. I generally prefer to explore without organized tours, but I’m so glad we booked this Encounters tour. The group size was manageable (at 15) and I lucked up with a great set of people that will be friends going forward. Our guide Mahmoud impressed …

Seamless From A to Z

Egypt has always been on my list but with the national unrest, I have been hesitant to visit. However, all of those worries simply melted away as soon as we arrived at the Cairo airport and met our first Encounters representative. From that first interaction, every single change of hands went seamlessly, there was no downtime for hotel check-ins as they were already done, buses were always on time and …

Great experience, amazing guide, life goals ✔️

We joined our Encounters tour in Cairo having booked through Trip a Deal here in Australia. From the moment we landed (we had just finished a tour of Jordan) our guide Waleed was there to make sure we got to our hotel and that our experience in Egypt was one we would remember for the right reasons. This tour included all the usual sights in Cairo- pyramids, Sphinx and museum- …

Go to Egypt

We have recently returned from a fantastic trip to Egypt. Myself, my husband and my 18 year old son enjoyed the Nubian Adventure, September 15-22. We can not rate this company highly enough. We were looked after and felt completely safe the entire trip. Our guide, Waleed was fabulous. He was fun, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Our group were totally amazing and were comprised of people from all over the …

I have just returned from a tour in Egypt and have had an excellent time. It was an adventure tour and covered all the major historical sites in Egypt. The hotels were lovely and the hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. Our tour guide Sheriff Hassan was the highlight of the trip. He made it an unforgettable experience. He was very helpful and went way beyond his job to …

As a solo female traveler...

Encounters was THE best! I was nervous traveling as a single woman to Egypt, but I had zero issues on the trip. Not only was Egypt mind-blowing and a lifelong dream come true, it was safe, especially with this tour group. Our guide, Waleed, was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable. He anticipated our needs and then went above-and-beyond to exceed them, from spotting us cash to getting us meds if we …

Best Egypt Travel Agent

Could not have asked for a better experience! Egypt was showcased at its very best by our two guides (Egyptologists) between Cairo and Aswan/Luxor. We had booked our trip via Encounter who made all the hotel reservations, transfers and arranged for our guides from a Lady Egypt Tours. We opted for a private tour and it definitely made ALL the difference. Each part of the trip we were always accompanied …
