Egypt Honeymoon: Cairo, Dahabiya Cruise & Red Sea — 9 Days
Overview
Later starts, better rooms, a twelve-guest sailing dahabiya instead of a cruise ship, and a private dinner on deck under the stars.
The same landmarks as a classic tour, planned for two people who would rather not be up at 5 AM every day. Five-star hotels, a small sailing boat instead of a 200-berth cruiser, and free afternoons built in deliberately.
Room decoration, flowers and a private candlelit dinner on the dahabiya deck are included, not an upsell.
Highlights
- Private Giza tour with a late start
- The Grand Egyptian Museum
- Dinner cruise on the Nile
- Four nights on a twelve-guest sailing boat
- Private candlelit dinner on deck
- Islands and villages the big boats sail past
- Two nights at a five-star resort
