Request a Private Quote

This Egypt honeymoon 10 days package is built for couples who want to experience Egypt at its fullest: the ancient monuments of Cairo and Giza, the grandeur of the Grand Egyptian Museum, a private Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, the temples of Abu Simbel at sunrise, and a final chapter on the Red Sea coast at Hurghada. Ten days is the right length for Egypt — long enough to see the depth of the country, short enough to keep the pace honeymoon-appropriate. Every element of this Egypt honeymoon 10 days itinerary is private, with a dedicated Egyptologist guide and luxury hotel selections throughout.

Egypt Honeymoon 10 Days — Full Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrival Cairo: Private airport transfer to your 5-star hotel in Cairo. Welcome dinner by the Nile. No tours on arrival day — you settle in, rest, and prepare for 10 days of exploration.

Day 2 — Giza Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum: The day begins at the Giza Plateau at opening time, before the crowds. Your guide covers the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. Afternoon at the Grand Egyptian Museum — the world’s largest archaeological museum, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection with over 5,000 artifacts displayed together for the first time.

Day 3 — Cairo: Old Cairo & Khan El Khalili: Morning in Islamic Cairo — the Citadel of Saladin, the Mohamed Ali Mosque with its alabaster interior and panoramic city views, and the medieval Al-Muizz Street lined with Mamluk architecture. Afternoon in Coptic Cairo: the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the streets of the oldest continuously inhabited Christian quarter in the world. Evening at Khan El Khalili bazaar for your first real taste of Egyptian street life.

Day 4 — Fly to Luxor, East Bank: Morning flight to Luxor. East Bank afternoon: Karnak Temple Complex — the largest religious building ever constructed — and Luxor Temple, lit dramatically at sunset. Overnight aboard your private Nile cruise ship.

Day 5 — Luxor West Bank: The great highlight of your Egypt honeymoon 10 days — the Valley of the Kings with three open tombs, the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut carved into the cliff face at Deir El Bahari, and the Colossi of Memnon. These are the monuments that defined Egypt in the imagination of every generation since Napoleon’s expedition.

Day 6 — Nile Cruise to Edfu & Kom Ombo: The cruise departs Luxor and sails south. Morning stop at Edfu: the Temple of Horus, the best-preserved temple in Egypt, built during the Ptolemaic period on the site of a much older sanctuary. Afternoon at Kom Ombo: the double temple of Sobek and Haroeris, built on a bend in the Nile where crocodiles once gathered. The museum here holds actual crocodile mummies.

Day 7 — Aswan: Arrive Aswan — the most beautiful city on the Nile. Morning at the Philae Temple of Isis, relocated stone by stone to its current island after the construction of the High Dam. Afternoon visit to the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk still lying in its quarry, showing exactly how the ancient Egyptians cut granite. Sunset felucca sail around Elephantine Island.

Day 8 — Abu Simbel: Early morning drive to Abu Simbel — the twin temples of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari, cut from solid rock in the 13th century BC and relocated in the 1960s in one of the greatest engineering rescues in history. Return to Aswan. Optional Nubian village visit. Fly to Hurghada.

Day 9 — Hurghada, Red Sea: Your honeymoon deserves a beach day. Hurghada sits on one of the clearest sections of the Red Sea coast — the reef just offshore holds over 200 species of fish. Snorkeling or diving excursion in the morning. Afternoon free for the beach, spa, or resort amenities. Romantic dinner by the sea.

Day 10 — Return: Transfer to Hurghada Airport for your international departure, or extend your stay if you want one more day on the water.

What Makes This Egypt Honeymoon 10 Days Package Different

Every tour is private — your guide works only with you, at your pace. Hotels are selected at 5-star level throughout. The Nile cruise component is on a small, high-quality boat rather than a large tourist vessel. We handle all internal flights, transfers, and entrance fees so you never deal with logistics during your honeymoon. Your Egyptologist guide is licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and speaks English fluently — their job is to make the history come alive, not to rush you from site to site.
