About this trip

Not every honeymoon has two weeks to spare. In five days you stand together before the pyramids, take your best photos from the panoramic viewpoint and spend the evening on a dinner cruise with music on the Nile. Flowers and a cake are waiting in your room the night you arrive.

Then a short flight to Luxor for Karnak and Luxor Temple, and a felucca on the Nile as the sun goes down. Before dawn the next morning, your hot-air balloon rises over the Valley of the Kings, included in the price, before your private Egyptologist takes you through the royal tombs. Short, intense and unforgettable.
