Same classic 10-day Egypt backbone — Cairo, Nile cruise, Luxor — elevated for couples and honeymooners. You stay in 5-star hotels with Pyramids views (Marriott Mena House or Four Seasons), board a premium Nile cruise (top-tier cruiser or small dahabiya), and have a private Egyptologist with you the whole trip rather than a shared one. We add a few honeymoon touches: rose-petal turndown, a candlelit Nile rooftop dinner one evening, sunset felucca with table-set dinner. Discreet rather than showy.
