Romantic Egypt Trips & Honeymoon Packages

What our customers ask about Romantic Egypt Trips & Honeymoon Packages

• What's the best time to visit Egypt for couples?

  Plan your trip between October and April when the weather is most pleasant. In Cairo, temperatures range from 68-82°F (20-28°C), while Luxor and Aswan see temperatures from 75-90°F (24-32°C). October and November are especially nice months for exploring together. I'd avoid summer (June-August) when temperatures in Upper Egypt can hit 104°F (40°C) - that's too hot for comfortable sightseeing. One of our travelers shared: "The weather was much nicer in late October with the hottest day being in the Valley of the Kings in the low 90s."

• What romantic experiences can couples enjoy on Egypt tours?

  You can share some really special moments together in Egypt. Take a sunset sail on a felucca boat in Aswan, watch the sunrise from a hot air balloon over Luxor, or enjoy dinner under the stars during a Nile cruise. One traveler told us: "The felucca ride was amazing and dinner was good." For a luxurious stay, book a room with Nile views on the MS Royal Lotus cruise ship, or choose the Oasis Hotel in Cairo where you can dine by the pool with the pyramids as your backdrop.

• Where can couples find romantic dining in Egypt?

  You'll find plenty of atmospheric places to share a meal together. Try the rooftop restaurants at the Mena House Hotel with pyramid views, or explore the restaurants tucked away in Khan el-Khalili bazaar for traditional Egyptian food. If you're on a Nile cruise, you can have dinner on deck under the stars. In Hurghada, pick a beachfront spot for fresh seafood with Red Sea views. As one of our travelers mentioned: "The dinner cruise along the Nile with traditional music and belly dancing was a highlight of our romantic evening experiences."

• Which parts of Egypt are best for couples wanting to relax?

  Head to Hurghada on the Red Sea coast where you can unwind at places like the Pharaoh Azur resort with its beautiful beaches. Aswan is another good choice - it's much calmer than Cairo and has beautiful Nile views, especially from the historic Old Cataract hotel. Alexandria's gardens are perfect for peaceful walks together. One traveler shared: "The three days in Hurghada were perfect for unwinding together after the busy sightseeing schedule, with beautiful beaches and spectacular sunsets."

• What extra romantic activities can couples add to their Egypt trip?

  You can make your trip extra special with add-ons like a private sunset camel ride by the pyramids, a candlelit dinner cruise on the Nile in Cairo (about $65 per couple), or watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon over Luxor's temples ($150 per person). In Hurghada, book a private snorkeling trip to quiet coral reefs or get a couples massage. As one traveler noted: "The optional evening sound and light show at the temples was magical and incredibly romantic when experienced together."

• Which hotels work best for couples in Egypt?

  You'll find great romantic hotels throughout Egypt. In Cairo, stay at the Mena House Hotel for rooms with pyramid views. If you're cruising the Nile, the M/S Nile Premium has private balconies perfect for sunset watching. The Pharaoh Azur Resort in Hurghada offers a private beach and spa treatments. For something really special, try the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan - it's where Agatha Christie wrote "Death on the Nile." One traveler told us: "The 5-star hotels and Nile cruiser accommodations were excellent, providing the perfect romantic setting."

• What's the best way for couples to experience the Nile?

  You can either take a traditional felucca boat and sleep under the stars, or choose a luxury cruise ship like the Steigenberger Legacy with its private balconies. One traveler said: "The Nile cruise was such an amazing experience, especially watching sunsets from the top deck with your loved one." Most boats travel between Luxor and Aswan, stopping at temples like Kom Ombo and Edfu along the way.
