Itinerary

You’ll be greeted by our representative at Cairo International Airport upon arrival and transferred to your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Once at the hotel, we’ll review your 5-day Cairo and Red Sea honeymoon itinerary with you to ensure that all your Egypt day tours are scheduled as planned. If you’d like to add any optional Cairo sightseeing tours to your Egypt honeymoon package, we can discuss those as well.

If time allows, you can enjoy an optional sound and light show at the Giza Pyramids. This informative show provides a fascinating overview of Egypt’s history and will prepare you for the next day’s tour of the Giza Pyramids.

Welcome Drink

After enjoying your first buffet breakfast at the hotel, you'll be met by your certified tour guide to begin your Cairo adventure with a visit to the Giza Pyramids. This tour will ignite your passion for ancient Egyptian history, and your guide will answer all your questions as you explore up close the Great Pyramid of King Cheops. Standing at 146 meters, this monumental structure was built during the Old Kingdom, specifically in the Fourth Dynasty, by one of Egypt’s greatest kings. King Cheops (Khufu) was the son of Snefru, who built four impressive pyramids, and the father of Chephren, who constructed the middle pyramid at Giza and still retains its outer casing at the top. Chephren was also the grandfather of Mycerinus, who built the smallest yet significant pyramid visible from the plateau. You might also enjoy an optional camel ride to fully appreciate the grandeur of this ancient land.

Next, you’ll visit the Valley Temple of King Chephren, where his body was mummified for the afterlife, and the Great Sphinx, a statue symbolising power and wisdom, carved in the shape of a lion with a human head.

Then, head to the Saqqara necropolis, which predates the Giza necropolis by 200 years. Here, you’ll explore the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser from the 3rd Dynasty and the Pyramid of King Teti from the 6th Dynasty, just before the start of the First Intermediate Period. Admire the ancient Egyptian art in the tomb of Kagemni, the vizier of justice and son-in-law of King Teti.

Finally, visit the site of Egypt’s ancient capital, now known as Mit Rahina, which serves as an open-air museum showcasing artefacts from various periods of ancient Egyptian history, including the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. See the alabaster Sphinx of Memphis, the second largest sphinx in Egypt, and the colossal statue of Ramses II, a prominent king of the 18th Dynasty.

Enjoy lunch en route back to the hotel, where you'll stay overnight in Cairo.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel, your tour guide will take you on an exciting exploration of Cairo, beginning with a visit to Islamic Cairo and the Cairo Citadel.

You'll explore the medieval fortifications of the Saladin Citadel, built by Sultan Saladin in the 12th century to protect Cairo from potential threats. Saladin's mercenaries, initially part of the Egyptian army, grew powerful and wealthy, eventually ruling Egypt until they were overthrown in the infamous Citadel Massacre by Mohamed Ali Pasha.

Within the citadel, you'll find the impressive alabaster mosque of Mohamed Ali, which offers panoramic views of Cairo, including the Giza Pyramids on clear days.

Next, you'll head to Old Cairo for a Coptic Cairo tour, where you'll visit some of the earliest Christian churches. According to historians, the Holy Family sought refuge here during their escape from King Herod, staying for around 3-4 months. You'll visit the Church of Abu Serga, built above the crypt where they took shelter, as well as the Hanging Church, which is situated atop two towers of the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon. Your Coptic tour will also include a visit to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the oldest Jewish synagogues in the Middle East.

After a gourmet lunch, you'll explore Khan El Khalili market in the Al Hussein area of downtown Cairo. Al Hussein, named after the grandson of the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH), is known for its historic mosques from the 9th century and mausoleums of the Prophet's companions and family members. Enjoy a walk through Cairo’s narrow alleys and sip on a refreshing mint tea before returning to your hotel for the night.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After checking out from the hotel, we’ll head to the Red Sea Ain Sokhna, with a drive of about 1.5 hours to reach the resort. Once there, you can relax on the beach or swim in the pool. Enjoy a buffet lunch served at 3:00 PM and have dinner before the evening show.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Check out of your hotel after breakfast and set off on an exciting adventure. We'll drive for approximately 30 minutes to the renowned Porto Sokhna resort, where you'll take the Cable Car (Teleferik) up Galala Mountain. Enjoy a delightful seafood lunch in a stylish restaurant with views of the Red Sea and the surrounding mountains. Explore the resort’s mall and capture stunning seaside photos before returning to Cairo.
