Most importantly, the itinerary can be designed around the couple rather than a large group schedule.

When visiting temples and pyramids, follow local regulations and avoid touching or climbing on protected monuments.
During Red Sea activities, do not touch coral reefs or marine animals.
Do not remove coral, shells, or marine life from the sea.
