Egypt for two, planned around you.

Yes, and for any trip for two. Egypt pairs the bucket-list ancient sites, the pyramids, Luxor and Abu Simbel, with a Nile cruise and a Red Sea coast of world-class beaches and reefs. You can do history, romance and a beach holiday in a single trip.

Two weeks is ideal: two nights in Cairo, three or four on a Nile cruise, a night for Abu Simbel, then three or four on the Red Sea or the Mediterranean coast. Ten days works well if you skip one region. We build the length around your dates.

A sunrise hot-air balloon over the Valley of the Kings in Luxor is the classic. Close behind are a private felucca sail on the Nile at sunset, a candlelit dinner overlooking the river, and a night in the desert where you have the Milky Way to yourselves.

Both. The Nile cruise is the most romantic way to see the temples, three or four nights between Luxor and Aswan. Then finish with three or four nights on the Red Sea, at Hurghada, El Gouna or further south at Marsa Alam, to rest and swim before you fly home.

Yes. Hurghada, El Gouna, Soma Bay and Marsa Alam sit on the mainland west coast of the Red Sea and have their own airport, so you never have to cross to the Sinai Peninsula. They are the easy beach add-on to a Nile and Luxor itinerary.

October through April for the ancient sites, when days are warm and nights are cool and clear. For the Red Sea, you can swim almost year round, with the calmest, clearest water from spring through autumn. Mid-summer is hot inland, so save the coast for then.

It depends on your dates, hotel level, whether you add a Nile cruise or internal flights, and how many days you stay. Every couple's trip is quoted individually. A planning fee applies up front and is credited toward your trip when you book.

Quotes are built around your itinerary and usually cover hotels, private transportation, a native Egyptian guide, entrance fees, and any internal flights or Nile cruise you choose. We spell out exactly what is and is not included before you commit.

Not at the moment. Our live flight deals page tracks current fares from major US airports to Cairo, so you can see what to expect and book directly with the airline.

Many couples find a guide makes the difference at sites like Saqqara, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, where the history is hard to follow alone. On our private trips a native Egyptian guide is with you at every stop, so you understand what you are looking at and why it matters.

Most visitors do. Many nationalities can get an e-visa online or a visa on arrival, but the rules change, so confirm with Egypt's official visa portal and your own government before you book. We will walk you through the steps.

Millions of people visit Egypt every year, and the classic route, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea resorts, is well established. On our trips you travel in private transport with local guides. As with any destination, check the US State Department travel advisory or your own government's advice before booking.
