Egypt’s naturally romantic atmosphere and scenic sights make the perfect environment for a lovely and once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon.

Celebrating Love on Your Honeymoon in Egypt between Luxor and Aswan

Upper Egypt is not only beautiful in its unspoiled nature, idyllic landscapes and artifact-rich lands but also in its layers of history, with monuments stretching back more than 5000 years. Here is where civilization was born. It is quite a surreal experience to walk in the same footsteps of the great pharaohs millennia ago. The best way to experience all the ancient spoils and treasures is to go by Nile Cruise. A luxury Nile Cruise sailing gently across the storied Nile is one of the most romantic experience. 

You have the full luxury and comfort of the Nile Cruise while stopping at a leisurely pace to visit all the most important Ancient Egyptian monuments perched along the Nile’s fertile banks. You get to lay back, completely unwind and get the full pampering trip with freshly-prepared meals all day long, excursions led by a trained Egyptologist and the most luxurious amenities. You get to pass by beautiful villages, ancient temples, unspoiled landscapes and more. Every evening the sky is illuminated with beautiful color while you are surrounded by the splendor of the great Nile. This would make the perfect honeymoon in Egypt and can be complimented by a tour of Cairo to get that historical dose.

If you do not prefer the Nile Cruise route, you can always opt for a luxurious hotel in Aswan. From there you can go on a number across Aswan and even make the most of it by going to the nearby Abu Simbel or even continuing the historical road trip by car and making your way to Luxor or the Red Sea for some beach relaxation.

From indulging in upscale eateries in Zamalek to unraveling the secrets of the Ancient Egyptians in Giza, Cairo offers a massive diversity of experiences that would keep any couple on their toes. 

We recommend taking tours of all the Old Cairo attractions, making your way to Zamalek and Downtown Cairo to admire the vintage architecture, splendid nature and hidden history that fills its every street.
