This is a great tour to see a lot of the country in a short space of time. It is a busy schedule but we never felt rushed or that we had not had enough time anywhere.

Currently coming to the end of our Nubian Adventure tours with Encounters and have nothing but praise from Shareef our witty & erudite guide and the wonderful itinerary that has allowed us to experience some of the most wonderful artefacts of the Ancient Egyptians delivered with a marvellous mixture of both information & humour. Learnt so much more not just about ancient Egypt beyond what Hollywood & Shakespeare showed me …

Good friends we met on the tour, much more experienced travelers than we are, said this was probably their best trip ever. That’s easily imaginable.

Overall the trip was good. I would have liked to have a pre-tour meeting the night before.The guide just showed up in the morning and we got on the bus. The itinerary is as good as it could be! Saw everything I wanted to see, aside from some of the desert castles. The coach was very comfortable and the driver was insanely talented(I can't recall his name but he gets …

What an amazing trip! This experience was MADE by our guide Sherif and his assistant, Islam. Sherif was fun and energetic, a wealth of knowledge for not just the sites but also all cultural questions that came up along the way. My boyfriend also got sick on the long ride back from Abu Simbel and Sherif was very attentive, which was nice. Overall, this tour hit all the high points …

Go for it. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There is a lot crammed into the trip, which suited me as I don’t like the feeling of waiting around. But this may not suit someone looking for a slower-paced trip. The only minor issue was the slightly same-y buffet lunches at some tourist locations, but there was nothing really to complain about.

This is a comprehensive tour. Just what we wanted for a first visit to Israel. Our guide, Yehuda was fantastic. His background in archaeology combined with his experience of modern Israel gave us a complete picture of this beautiful country. All of the arrangements went without a hitch, including airport transfers and accommodations, We saw the best of Hebrew, Roman, Jewish and Christian, ancient and modern Israel. Highly recommended

I am a vegetarian and the places we went to were expensive. I would have like another food option at this times. I do with we had longer Jeep ride at wadi rum and I would have paid more for that. The …
