Top Five Places to Stay on a Luxury Honeymoon in Egypt
The sheer weight of history to be found in Egypt is awe inspiring;
an experience that is much more significant if you are there with your
life long partner. The longevity and magic of Egypt make it the perfect
place for a holiday with your loved one, as well as the height of romance
as a destination for your honeymoon. Egypt has the weather, the monuments
and the excitement to make your trip the most amazing experience of
your life, and if there's one holiday where you want to have the best
of everything, it's this one. So we count down the top five luxury places
to stay so that you can get the most from your Honeymoon in Egypt.
5. The Nile Palace, Luxor
Luxor, in southern Egypt, is the doorway to the Valley of the Kings
and the Valley of the Queens. The city is built on the ruins of the
ancient city of Thebes, and is steeped in legends and wonders. This
makes Luxor a hub of activity and history, and the Nile Palace hotel
is in easy walking distance of it all. Overlooking the Nile itself,
the hotel provides for all of your Egypt honeymoon needs. The luxury
gym and health club give you the chance to stay active while away, and
the outdoor pool allows for romantic dips under the star-lit Egyptian
sky at night. The restaurants are designed to pamper and delight you,
the bars, to calm and relax you, and the rooms to make your luxury honeymoon
in Egypt romantic and enchanting.
4. Oberoi Philae Cruise on the Nile
Cruising down the Nile conjures up images of thin reed boats tacking
back and forth while trailing nets or cargo, but nothing could be further
from the reality if you are looking for a luxury honeymoon in Egypt.
We suggest the Nile cruiser Philae, a 58 suite ship designed to take
you up the Nile in style and complete luxury. The suites have private
shower and bathroom facilities, balconies and sun loungers, and deliberately
have adults in mind, with little or no provision for children (no screaming
kids to ruin your romantic trip together). The ship also has a bar and
restaurant, appointed with luxury in mind and exquisite food on offer.
3. Kasr Ibrim, Lake Nasser
For those who want history and a cruising experience, but in a more
out of the way setting, cruising on Lake Nasser is a must. The Kasr
Ibrim is appointed in a similar way to the Philae in terms of luxury
and convenience, catering to your every honeymoon need while in Egypt.
It also stops at one of the lake's recovered historical sites each day
(the lake is man made, and the sites were moved stone by stone to avoid
their destruction) with a launch that takes visitors who want to go
to each site. Holidaying on the Kasr Ibrim gives you a different take
on the idea of a honeymoon to Egypt, mixing the history of the area
with fewer tourist traps for luxury that's a little off the beaten track.
2. The Al Baben Shall, Siwa Oasis
For a completely secluded and authentic luxury honeymoon in Egypt, try
The Al Baben, a boutique hotel by the Siwa Oasis close to the Egyptian
sand sea. The oasis has been a stop over for travellers for many thousands
of years, and the hotel is tucked away in the walls of Shali, at the
very heart of the area. Enjoying your honeymoon in this part of Egypt
means having a truly Egyptian experience; rooms are luxurious but with
a rustic feel, and the rooftop restaurant serves exquisite regional
food. This hotel is for those who want to be more adventurous in their
honeymoon choice and wish to immerse themselves in a luxurious, but
uniquely Egyptian, trip.
1. The
Mena House Oberoi, Cairo
To many people, a luxury honeymoon in Egypt means only one thing: Cairo.
The mystique of the city, the power of the Pyramids at Giza and the
opulence available since the time of the Pharaohs make it the perfect
honeymoon destination, and the Mena House Oberoi is the peak of this
perfection. A luxury hotel since 1869, it has seen its fair share of
royalty and heads of state, and the luxurious suites and lounges are
a testament to its exclusive history. There is 24-hour room and butler
service for those who want to stay in, and excellent bars and restaurants
for those who don't. The hotel also has one of the most magical views
in all of Egypt; the outdoor pool is in the shadow of the Pyramids themselves
- breathtaking when set against the background of an African sky. The
hotel and the experience create an Egyptian luxury honeymoon that you'll
remember as the trip of a lifetime.
