Egypt is so very easy to get to, yet so very foreign, making it all the more alluring for couples who have never visited. Cairo is a crazy sprawl of a city with breathtaking delights, from the Sphinx to Villa Belle Epoque, a breakthrough boutique hotel. Take a romantic cruise down the Nile on a stylish boat and soak up the sights and sites.

Discover Egypt says
Some say that the heart of Egypt lies in her great river, the Nile. Of all the cruises we offer on this ancient and historic waterway, the most romantic and luxurious is on board the Alexander the Great, our ‘Yacht on the Nile’.
She is sleek, stylish and supremely comfortable with just 30 air-conditioned cabins. Each cabin boasts wonderful views from the large picture windows and an ensuite bathroom with tub.
Relax on deck as you soak up the amazing views and glorious sunshine, enjoy fine dining in the restaurant or a barbecue out on deck – and pamper yourselves in the on-board Spa and Turkish Bath.
Of course, you’ll see the Great Pyramids, the Valley of the Kings, the Sphinx at Giza, the Temple of Abu Simbel and more – and most excursions are included in the price – but the real joy is in the sheer romance of cruising.
To make the most of your honeymoon in Egypt, we recommend that you add on a few nights either side of your cruise. Head for the beaches of the Red Sea coast or stay in Cairo at the seriously romantic Villa Belle Epoque. Cairo’s first boutique hotel, it is a lovingly restored 1920s townhouse with just 13 rooms, a pool and delightful gardens.
