This 15-day Egypt itinerary combines the country's major landmarks with enough breathing room to actually enjoy them as a couple: four days between Cairo and Alexandria, a three-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and four days on the Red Sea in Hurghada.
You travel as a private pair with your own Egyptologist guide and air-conditioned vehicle, no fixed group, no shared schedule.
In Cairo, you visit the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum with its complete Tutankhamun collection, the Citadel of Salah el-Din with the Muhammad Ali Mosque, and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar in the old city.
A full-day trip also takes you to Alexandria, to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa.
You then fly to Aswan and board a 5-star Nile cruise ship. Over three nights you sail to Luxor, stopping along the way at the Aswan High Dam, Philae Temple, and the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, with a highlight excursion to Abu Simbel on Lake Nasser.
In Luxor, you visit Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon before continuing on to the coast.
The final stretch of the trip is left open: four nights at an all-inclusive resort in Hurghada to relax, snorkel, or book optional Red Sea excursions, followed by two quieter days back in Cairo with time for your own plans before your departure flight.
The route, pace, and daily program can be adjusted to suit you both before departure; tell us what matters most to you, and we'll shape the schedule and stops around that.
