Egypt for Couples: Romantic Trip Ideas

Egypt is one of the world’s most romantic destinations — a sunset felucca on the Nile, a sunrise balloon over the Valley of the Kings, candlelit dinners with the Pyramids as a backdrop. Here is how to plan the perfect couples’ trip.

We are Sam and Mo — licensed Egyptologist guides with over 28 years of combined experience arranging romantic trips.

Most romantic things to do in Egypt

• Sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor — breathtaking from start to finish. Book the balloon ride.
• Sunset felucca sail on the Nile. See the felucca ride.
• Nile dinner cruise with live music and entertainment. See the dinner cruise.
• A private dahabiya cruise — the most intimate way to sail. Compare boats.
• A romantic dinner overlooking the Nile or the Pyramids.

A romantic Egypt itinerary

1. Cairo & Giza — the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
2. Aswan — Philae Temple, a Nubian village and a sunset felucca.
3. A Nile cruise — ideally a private dahabiya for two.
4. Luxor — temples, tombs and a sunrise balloon.

Honeymoon and anniversary ideas

• Surprise a private dinner or a decorated cruise cabin (we can arrange it).
• Book a luxury hotel or a dahabiya for the special night.
• Add a Red Sea beach escape to unwind at the end.
