Cairo and Siwa Oasis Honeymoon Schedule

After enjoying your first delicious breakfast at the hotel, our representative will meet you in the hotel lobby to begin your Cairo day tours. Start with an exciting visit to the Giza Pyramids, where you’ll be amazed by these colossal structures built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom by some of the greatest pharaohs.

Begin with the Great Pyramid of Cheops, influenced by his father King Snefru, who pioneered pyramid construction with his two impressive pyramids in Dahshur. From the high plateau, take in a stunning panoramic view of the three pyramids: Cheops, Chephren—who was Cheops' son and successor, with a slightly smaller pyramid standing at 136 meters—and Mycerinus, who built the smallest of the Giza pyramids.

After an optional camel ride on the Giza Plateau, you'll visit the Great Sphinx, a statue with a lion’s body and a human head, believed to have been built for King Chephren as part of his funerary complex. Explore the Valley Temple, where the mummification of the king took place as part of the burial rites.

Next, head to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first pyramid constructed entirely of stone and a major milestone in pyramid development. You’ll also visit the Pyramid of King Teti from the Sixth Dynasty and the tomb of Kagemni, Djoser’s son-in-law and vizier of justice.

Continue your tour to the ancient city of Memphis, the first capital of Egypt, where you’ll visit the open-air museum to see the alabaster sphinx and the colossal statue of Ramses II, a prominent pharaoh of the New Kingdom.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a high-quality restaurant with views of the pyramids and the Sphinx before returning to your hotel.

We’ll then head to the charming city of Marsa Matrouh for lunch at a lovely restaurant before continuing on to Siwa Oasis.

Your desert adventure will start with a visit to the Mountain of the Dead, where you can see numerous tombs of the oasis rulers. Next, you'll be driven to the stunning sand dunes and the fossils from the Cambrian era, where you’ll encounter ancient corals. You’ll also visit a remarkable desert lake, where you might be lucky enough to spot flamingos swimming in its cool waters, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the desert.

Following this, you'll pass by Dakrour Mountain for some sandboarding—experience the thrill of sliding down the dunes instead of snow. Afterward, you’ll unwind in Bir Wahid, a hot spring known for its relaxing and muscle-soothing properties.
