More Info
Your honeymoon is the beginning of a new chapter together, and Egypt offers an extraordinary setting for that celebration. The 17 Day Egypt Honeymoon Package combines ancient wonders, romantic Nile experiences, beautiful landscapes, luxury accommodation and relaxing days beside the Red Sea.
Designed for couples who want both discovery and relaxation, this private honeymoon takes you from the legendary pyramids of Cairo to the magnificent temples of Luxor and Aswan, then onward to the peaceful beaches and crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea.
Rather than rushing from one attraction to another, the 17-day format gives you enough time to enjoy Egypt at a comfortable pace. You can explore ancient monuments with a private Egyptologist, relax together on a Nile cruise, enjoy romantic sunset experiences and finish your journey with several days of beach relaxation.
A Private Honeymoon Designed for Two
One of the biggest advantages of this Egypt honeymoon is the private format.
You travel with your partner rather than joining a large group, giving you greater flexibility throughout the journey. Private transportation means you can enjoy comfortable transfers between destinations, while your professional Egyptologist can adapt the sightseeing experience to your interests.
Couples can also request a slower schedule, additional free time, luxury hotel upgrades or extra nights at the Red Sea.
The goal is simple: your honeymoon should feel personal, comfortable and memorable.
Romantic Cairo and the Pyramids
Your Egyptian honeymoon begins in Cairo, one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
Your first major experience is the Giza Plateau, where you will stand together before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure and the legendary Great Sphinx.
For couples, the pyramids provide an unforgettable setting for photographs and special memories.
You can also arrange an optional camel ride or professional honeymoon photography session, creating photographs that capture the beginning of your Egyptian adventure.
Your private Egyptologist will explain the history and symbolism of the monuments, transforming your visit from a simple sightseeing experience into a deeper journey through ancient Egyptian civilization.
Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur
Your honeymoon continues with a journey through Egypt’s ancient pyramid landscape.
At Saqqara, discover the Step Pyramid of Djoser and learn how Egyptian architects developed the techniques that eventually led to the construction of the great pyramids.
Continue to Memphis, one of ancient Egypt’s most important capitals, before visiting Dahshur.
The Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid demonstrate another important stage in the development of pyramid architecture.
This day is ideal for couples interested in history and photography because the sites are surrounded by dramatic desert landscapes and are generally less crowded than the main Giza Plateau.
Grand Egyptian Museum and Historic Cairo
Cairo also provides opportunities to discover Egypt beyond the pyramids.
Depending on current access arrangements, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum and explore its collection of ancient Egyptian treasures.
The museum allows you to see objects and artifacts connected to the civilization you have already encountered at the pyramids and temples.
Later, explore historic Cairo and the famous Khan El Khalili area.
Walk through traditional streets, discover local crafts and enjoy Egyptian coffee or tea together.
Couples can finish the evening with an optional romantic dinner.
The Romance of the Nile
Few experiences are more closely associated with Egypt than the Nile.
A Nile cruise gives couples the opportunity to slow down after several days of sightseeing.
Instead of traveling between every destination by road, you can relax onboard while watching the landscape pass by.
Green fields, palm trees, traditional villages and desert scenery create a constantly changing backdrop.
Enjoy breakfast together, relax on deck, watch the sunset and share dinner while traveling through the heart of ancient Egypt.
For many couples, the Nile cruise becomes one of the most romantic parts of the entire honeymoon.
Luxor – Ancient Thebes
Luxor is one of the most important destinations on the itinerary.
Ancient Thebes was a major center of Egyptian power and religion, and the surrounding area contains an extraordinary collection of temples and tombs.
On the West Bank, explore the Valley of the Kings, where ancient rulers were buried in decorated underground tombs.
Continue to the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon.
Your Egyptologist will explain the stories behind the pharaohs, religious beliefs and ancient burial traditions.
For an unforgettable romantic experience, couples can also add a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over Luxor, subject to weather and operating conditions.
Karnak and Luxor Temples
On Luxor’s East Bank, explore the enormous Karnak Temple Complex.
Walk between massive columns, ancient pylons and monumental statues while learning about the religious importance of the site.
Continue to Luxor Temple, particularly atmospheric in the evening when the monument is illuminated.
These temples provide wonderful opportunities for couples who enjoy photography, history and architecture.
Edfu and Kom Ombo
During your Nile journey, discover the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo.
Edfu Temple is dedicated primarily to Horus and is one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient temples.
Kom Ombo is famous for its unusual double design and its association with both Sobek and Horus.
These stops add variety to the cruise and allow you to explore beautifully preserved ancient architecture without the pace of a large group tour.
Aswan – Peaceful Nile Landscapes
Aswan has a noticeably more relaxed atmosphere.
Visit Philae Temple, dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis, and enjoy its beautiful island setting.
A private felucca ride can be arranged as an optional honeymoon experience.
Sailing together along the Nile around sunset provides a peaceful and romantic moment after your archaeological sightseeing.
The combination of water, palm trees, islands and warm evening light makes Aswan particularly attractive for couples.
Abu Simbel
No journey through southern Egypt is complete without considering Abu Simbel.
The monumental temples of Ramesses II are among the most impressive archaeological sites in the country.
The enormous statues at the entrance create an unforgettable first impression, while the interior contains beautifully decorated chambers and historical scenes.
Your guide will also explain the remarkable modern project that relocated the temples to protect them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
From Ancient Egypt to the Red Sea
After exploring Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, your honeymoon changes pace.
The Red Sea provides several days for relaxation and romance.
Check into your selected resort and enjoy the beach, swimming pool and resort facilities.
You can spend your time however you prefer.
Some couples choose complete relaxation, while others enjoy snorkeling, diving, boat trips or water sports.
Having several Red Sea days means you do not have to choose between adventure and relaxation.
You can enjoy both.
Romantic Red Sea Experiences
The Red Sea offers plenty of opportunities to make your honeymoon special.
Optional experiences can include a private boat trip, snorkeling excursion, diving, sunset cruise, beach dinner or couple’s spa treatment.
The region is famous for its clear water, coral reefs and marine life.
For couples who enjoy underwater adventures, snorkeling or diving can become another memorable part of the honeymoon.
Activities depend on weather, sea conditions and availability.
Honeymoon Room Arrangements
Special honeymoon arrangements can be requested for your accommodation.
Depending on the hotel, these may include flowers, romantic decorations, special amenities or other honeymoon touches.
Luxury room and suite upgrades can also be requested.
Availability and additional charges vary by hotel.
Romantic Dining
Food is an important part of any honeymoon.
Couples can request romantic dining experiences at selected hotels, restaurants, Nile cruises or Red Sea resorts.
Depending on the location, you may enjoy dinner overlooking the Nile, a special evening at your resort or a private celebration.
These experiences can be added according to your preferences and budget.
Honeymoon Photography
Egypt provides countless locations for memorable photographs.
The pyramids, Nile, ancient temples and Red Sea beaches all provide distinctive backgrounds.
A professional photographer can be arranged as an optional service for couples who want dedicated honeymoon photographs.

A relaxing spa day can be combined with a free afternoon at the resort, giving you time to slow down and enjoy your honeymoon.
