Created for couples who want Egypt at a slower and more intimate pace, this 8-day honeymoon combines the landmarks of Cairo with four nights aboard a 5-star Dahabiya sailing from Luxor to Aswan.
Begin with two nights in a 5-star Cairo hotel and a private visit to the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. You then fly to Luxor, explore the temples and tombs of ancient Thebes, and join your Dahabiya for an unhurried journey through the quieter landscapes of the Nile.
The Dahabiya carries far fewer passengers than a conventional Nile cruise. You have your own private cabin while sharing the vessel with a small number of other guests. Days are shaped around relaxed sailing, peaceful river views and quiet moorings rather than a crowded motor-cruise schedule. The journey finishes with one night in a 5-star Aswan hotel, a visit to Philae Temple and a traditional felucca sail around Elephantine Island.
