Egypt Encompassed Reviews 78

If you want to experience Egypt look no further. Egypt Encompassed takes care of everything. They exceeded my expectations by creating memories and experiences I will never forget! Super safe, super meals, super sights, super fun! A must for all travelers. Thank you to all.

I have traveled widely for business in the Middle East, and Egypt is my favorite Arab country. For years I promised my wife that I would show her Egypt once we could devote the time it deserved, which meant after retirement. Of course, we needed the perfect travel company to help us to design and manage the ideal trip. I am so glad that we selected Egypt Encompassed. I hardly know where to begin my praise of their care and efficiency throughout the trip. We traveled to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel. We were awed by Egypt's towering monuments and thrilled to be accompanied by an expert like Mr. Atef (Chief Inspector of Antiquities) whose knowledge of ancient Egypt is only matched by his enthusiasm in sharing it with others. Our drivers, our accommodations and the meticulous planning and oversight by CEO Mr. Mohamed Maher combined to make this an unforgettable vacation. The 4 nights we spent sailing the Nile in an antique "Dhahabbiyyah" were like a dream. I have been fortunate to visit over 50 countries and I am multilingual (including Arabic). I can say without reservation that has been our best trip ever. Thanks, Egypt Encompassed!!!

Mohamed was a wonderful Egyptologist and guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, easy-going and funny. We could not have asked for a better guide with whom to explore the beauty of Egypt.

Mohamed is an amazing Tour Guide!!! He is knowledgeable , and passionate about Egypts history. He allowed us to experience the ravishing Egyptian culture, and see the abundant beauty the Country has to offer.

I can’t recommend this enough to anyone thinking of travelling to Egypt ! This was my first trip outside of NZ and having the guidance of Mohamed Maher made it into a trip of a lifetime without any worries of feeling unsafe alongside the added benefit of his vast knowledge of Egyptian history/culture and humour :)

Had a wonderful 9 day tour guided by Mohamed.
We saw many ancient Egyptian temples tombs and pyramids and learnt the meaning behind their erection.
Lots of wonderful memories and laughter that will forever be cherished.

The trip was a great experience!
Organizing the trip was seamless experience and gave us peace of mind.
We found ourselves looking forward to each day and learning something new about the sites we visited. The knowledge, organisation and the scenery made this trip Fantastic! Will definitely be using Egypt Encompassed again!

We did nine days with Muhammad the guide from Egypt Encompassed. It was an absolutely incredible experience. Egypt has so much to offer but could be difficult to navigate if not for a competent guide. Not only was Muhammad organised and thorough in every activity we undertook, but his extensive knowledge of history and his obvious pride in his culture and country gave us a rare feeling of actually understanding what Egypt was like in the time of the pharaohs but also what it is really like for its people today. It was a very special nine days that I don’t think we would have got anywhere else. Thank you thank you

Mohamed is the best tour guide I have had. He is so knowledgeable and fun! We learned so much and saw so many amazing things. Mohamed went above and beyond to make sure we experienced all the best parts of Egypt.

Mohamed was thoroughly knowledgeable and passionate about Egypt, I learnt so much about Egypt during my tour and can only put it down to Mohamad being my tour guide. He was honest and made sure we had all the information to make sure we made decisions about what we were going to do that we were happy with. He is authentic and cares about his clients and is hilarious, definitely a highlight trip of my lifetime. Thankyou Mohamad 💗

Definitely recommend. Our tour guide gave great insight into the history of Egypt and the sites.

Mohamed is a guide 2nd to none! He is a wealth of knowledge, has a lot of personality, and does everything in his power to ensure his guests are having a good time.

The trip was amazing! Not only did we see and learn so much about Egypt but our guide was brilliant - incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. He clearly is passionate and very well educated in Egyptology but also went out if his way to help us understand modern Egypt. Mohamed has a great sense of humour and always went above and beyond to ensure we were looked after and our needs met. I would thoroughly recommend this company’s tours to all!

Mohamed is the most amazing guide, who is filled with a vast knowledge of everything Egypt. He also has a great sense of humor and our group were always laughing #mens club #occupy this space
Nice hotels to stay in and the mini van was air conditioned and comfortable.
I thoroughly recommend this once of a life time trip.

Our local guide Mohamed was incredible. He had such a rich and profound passion for both ancient and modern Egyptian history that made the trip so engaging. plus he was very funny and very energetic 😊.

Egypt Encompassed does a great job of adapting and customizing your trip to best meet the interests and desired pace of their guests. As they got to know us they made great suggestions to modify the order we visited historical sites, and the best time to visit to avoid the worst of the crowds. Their knowledge and passion for Egypt, and learning about the country, its culture, and its history from an Egyptian was key to the depth and richness of my trip.

Egypt Encompassed is the go to place for personalised travel in Egypt. Everything is exceptionally well organised. Good hotels, friendly drivers, everything you need taken care of. As a solo female traveller joining a group I always felt safe which is very important to me.
Mohamed is a brilliant tour guide with endless knowledge and enthusiasm for Egyptology as well as a great sense of humour. Highly recommended.

Just such an amazing team! Mohamed is not only a knowledgeable expert in this field but such a lovely person inside and out. I don’t think any of us asked a question he couldn’t answer in depth. Beyond that you’ll find him joking around with the group and really bringing everyone together while you’re in his company. The trip logistics also went smoothly, no stress moving from city to city checking in and generally walking about. Make sure to pick your guides brain for tips on where to eat - you’ll certainly be rewarded! I will never forget my time in Egypt 😄

My wife and I traveled with Egypt Encompassed in the spring and had a wonderful experience. We had the opportunity to travel all across the country, including Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan, and we saw incredible sites covering the span of Egyptian history. Our guide, Mohamed, was absolutely incredible with his vast knowledge of Egyptian history as an Egyptologist, and he is one of the funniest and kindest people that I have ever met. The trip was well organized, the accommodations were outstanding, and everything was planned with great attention to detail. I highly recommend booking with Egypt Encompassed for any trip to Egypt!

Absolutely amazing company! I had the most wonderful experience. I would recommend this company to anyone! The information and places I was able to explore was fantastic. If you get a chance to go it’s great and I had no worries about safety as a solo female from the USA.
