Luxury Vacations & Honeymoons in Egypt

Split in half by the restorative waters of the ancient Nile, Egypt is defined by the ancient monuments of Luxor and Karnak, its luscious green delta, and the sensory cities of Alexandria and Cairo which thrum and heave between the river and the sea. A true feast for the senses, you’ll want to pack your best linens as you experience everything from mysterious Sufi dancing, languorous meals on the banks of the Nile, and reverential forays into the much mythologized Valley of the Kings. But it’s not all ancient – modern Egypt is an exhilaratingly modern nation, poised between ripe North Africa and the glittering seas of the Mediterranean.

The hotels of Egypt are synonymous with a kind of old-world glamor and unapologetic indulgence that is rarely found in our age of uber-modern glass hotels. Enjoy day-beds and roof terraces shaded by plush canopies, while you sip ice-cold tumblers of gin and taste charcoal-flecked shawarma; indulge yourself in luxury spas; and satisfy yourself with some of the most decorous suites in this part of the work, whether you stay in bustling Cairo or the palm-shaded courtyards of Luxor’s colonial-style Al-Moudira.

With its scintillating street-life, opulent hotels and jaw-dropping history, Egypt is a natural honeymoon destination. Explore the temples of mighty Luxor from the palatial hotel of Al Moudira, sample traditional Egyptian feasts, and drift along the Nile on a private felucca. By night, your way will be lit by glowing fires and the bright stars above – unless you seek the energy and bustle of Cairo’s Khan al Khalili market, or a rare private tour of the Egyptian Museum by night.
