discover egypt with encounters travel
Did you know that the best time to visit Egypt is between October and April? During the ‘winter’ season the weather is cooler, making it much more pleasant to explore all the outdoor sites without baking too much in the sun. There is also the added bonus that the new Grand Egyptian Museum is scheduled to open in November. Plus, the Abu Simbel Sun Festival takes place in October & February, making these departure dates the best time to visit this fascinating site.
We have a wide range of small group tours running in Egypt, the majority of which use 5-star hotels and resorts and combine visits to the Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum in Cairo with more ancient sites on the River Nile between Aswan and Luxor. There are options to spend a night on a traditional felucca sailboat on the Nile, or enjoy the comfort of a luxury Nile cruise boat. You can also choose to finish the trip with some time relaxing by the Red Sea.
All our group tours can also be arranged as private trips, starting on any date (though the discounts shown below only apply to our group dates). Please contact us for a quote based on your preferred tour, date, and the number of people in your party.

how we've made our tours safer
We’ve completed our Safer Encounters checks in all the countries listed below and our tours are running again in each destination. We’ll also help you navigate all the rules around testing or vaccine certificate requirements before arrival, and before you fly home. Plus, our Flexible Booking Conditions apply to all bookings made for travel in 2022. So, you can book with confidence, and then relax and enjoy a well-earned vacation!
Audits and risk assessments carried out for each destination before our operations re-start. We’re also putting enhanced hygiene and cleaning protocols in place.
Prefer to travel only with people you know? All our group tours can now be booked as private departures for solo travellers, couples, families and private groups.
Do you want or need to change your plans? We’ve added extra flexibility to our booking conditions to allow for fee-free cancellations and date changes (conditions apply).
We already specialise in small groups, and along with expecting lower numbers when travel restarts, we are reducing some of our group sizes to ensure better distancing.
Travelling on your own? We’ve removed compulsory single supplements completely from some of our group tours, and are giving a 50% discount on other tours if a room share isn’t available.
Our focus remains on travelling responsibly, supporting the local economies and communities that we travel through, and designing tours that protect the environment as best we can.
