Egypt Honeymoon Packages
Egypt is a uniquely memorable honeymoon for couples who love history and romance. Our Egypt honeymoon packages pair a luxury Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan with sunset sailing on a traditional felucca, candlelit dinners, and the wonder of the pyramids - with the option to add Red Sea beach time in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh. We design couple's itineraries around the moments you most want to share.
Best Time to Visit Egypt
The best time to visit Egypt is October to April, when temperatures are comfortable for exploring Cairo, the pyramids, and the temples of Luxor and Aswan, and for a Nile cruise. Summer (May to September) is very hot, especially in Upper Egypt, though the Red Sea resorts remain popular for beach holidays year-round.
Because the cooler months are peak season, booking two to three months in advance helps secure better fares, hotels, and Nile cruise cabins. If your dates are flexible, shoulder-season travel can offer good value.
Travel Tips for Visiting Egypt
A few things that make an Egypt trip smoother, from our team:
Dress modestly and for the sun. Cover shoulders and knees at mosques and many sites; bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes for sandy, uneven terrain.
Carry small cash for tips. Tipping (baksheesh) is customary in Egypt - keep small notes handy for guides, drivers, and helpers.
Stay hydrated and eat smart. Drink bottled water, and enjoy busy, reputable restaurants for local cuisine.
Plan a guided experience. Egypt's sites come alive with a knowledgeable Egyptologist guide - we include expert guiding in our packages.
Be ready to negotiate. Friendly bargaining is expected in bazaars; agree prices for extras and camel/horse rides in advance.
Sort your visa early. Indian travellers need an Egypt visa in advance - our team confirms the latest rules and handles the documentation for you.
