Kai & Ashley’s Egypt Honeymoon Travel Guide: Luxury, Culture & Timeless Romance

We’d debated beaches versus castles, but Egypt chose us. Kai, ever the history buff, dreamed of pharaohs; I craved the chaos of souks and the whisper of desert winds. “Let’s get lost in a place older than time,” he said, holding up a Buzzintrips brochure. “And maybe ride a camel in a tux?” I laughed, but booked it that night.

Day 1: Cairo – Where Time Collides

The Egyptian Museum hit us like a sandstorm-golden masks, mummies, Ramses II’s smirk frozen in stone. Our guide, Youssef, winked:

“Remember, in Egypt, every relic has a ghost. Respect them, and they’ll bless your marriage.”

At the Pyramids, Kai joked, “Built by aliens, right?” until a Bedouin vendor scolded him:

“Built by love! Pharaohs wanted eternity with their queens… like you two, yes?”

We blushed, then galloped into the sunset on camels, my hennaed hands clutching Kai’s. That night, we skipped the hotel dinner for koshary at a street stall. Travel tip: Carry small bills-vendors “forget” change for tourists.

Day 2: Citadels & Cairo Bazaars

The Citadel’s alabaster mosque glowed, but Khan el Khalili stole our hearts. Amber perfumes, copper lamps, a vendor shouting “For the beautiful bride-half price!” I haggled for a lapis necklace, while Kai got scammed buying “antique” scarabs (turned out to be resin). Lesson: If it’s “too old,” it’s probably fake.

On the sleeper train to Aswan, we shared a bunk, giggling at the rattling wheels. “Romantic?” Kai asked. “More like… adventurous,” I said, stealing his blanket.

Day 3: Aswan – Nile’s Embrace

The High Dam felt colossal, but the Felucca ride was pure magic. Our captain, Mahmoud, sang Nubian songs as dates and hibiscus tea passed between us.

“The Nile isn’t water,” he said. “It’s liquid history.”

That night, our cruise ship’s deck became a stage-belly dancers, oud players, and us swaying under stars. Honeymoon tip: Nile cruises sell “luxury,” but check cabin AC-ours wheezed like a tired camel.

Day 4: Abu Simbel – Love Carved in Stone

We rose at 3 AM for Abu Simbel. Kai grumbled until Ramses’ temple appeared, gods staring down.

“He built this for Nefertari,” Youssef said. “Even giants kneel for love.”

At Kom Ombo, we traced hieroglyphs of medical tools. “Ancient couples had marriage problems too,” Kai joked, pointing at a pharaoh’s grumpy face.

Day 5: Edfu to Luxor – Chariots & Ancient Wonders

Edfu Temple’s chariot stones made Kai geek out. “Imagine racing these!” Our horse carriage to the site? Less thrilling-the driver demanded triple the fare. Travel tip: Agree on prices before moving an inch.

In Luxor, we cycled past sugarcane fields at dusk. “This beats Paris,” I said. Kai grinned: “Way more… alive.”

Day 6: Luxor to Hurghada – From Stones to Sea

Karnak’s columns dwarfed us, but Hatshepsut’s temple left me breathless-a queen who ruled alone.

“She’s my spirit animal,” I whispered.

Kai squeezed my hand: “Mine too.”

In Hurghada, the Red Sea washed off the dust. We floated, salt on our lips, watching fish dart like liquid jewels.

Day 7: Hurghada – Free to Be

We snorkeled, Kai panicking over a clownfish (“Nemo’s judging us!”), then rode ATVs into the desert. At a Bedouin camp, elders taught us the dabke dance.

“Marriage is a fire,” one said. “Feed it, or it eats you.”

Day 8: Cairo – Full Circle

Back in Old Cairo, Coptic hymns echoed in ancient churches. We bought papyrus art-a pharaoh couple holding hands.
