8D / 7NEgypt Honeymoon — Nile Dahabiya & Red Sea
A private sailing boat, five-star hotels and a private felucca sunset
New9 days / 8 nights Cairo & Giza · Luxor · Aswan · Hurghada
Overview
Built for couples. The Nile leg uses a dahabiya — a small traditional sailing boat with eight to twelve cabins — rather than a large cruiser, which means quiet moorings, no queues and dinner on deck under sail.
Cairo is five-star throughout with a pyramid-view room, and the trip finishes with three nights on the Red Sea. Rose petals, private transfers and a candlelit dinner on the sand are arranged as standard.
Highlights
- Four nights on a private dahabiya sailing boat
- Pyramid-view room in Cairo
- Private felucca sunset in Aswan
- Candlelit dinner on the beach
- Couples spa treatment included
