Although historically Egypt couples holidays don’t always end well (we’re looking at you Antony and Cleopatra), these days this North African country has a lot to offer lovers looking for a serious cultural break filled with history alongside some lazy beach days. Explore the iconic monuments and sites together such as the Pyramids, Sphynx, and Valley of the Kings, delve into the mystery of hieroglyphics and history of the pharaohs, brave the manic hustle and bustle of cities such as Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Giza and Aswan, or simply sit back and enjoy the sun, sea and sand of the numerous beach resorts of Egypt.

"Jamie was fantastic - she designed the trip as we requested with wonderful input and expertise. The accommodations were outstanding throughout, the communication was very good and the hot spot was indispensable. The Concierges were spot on, helpful and attentive. The guides and drivers were great, and the cruise on the Steam Ship Sudan was perfect. Loved the travel app, I used it throughout the trip to track our schedule."

"The entire Original Travel team were extremely helpful. Extremely efficient responses, took the time to answer all my questions and tailored the trip to exactly what we wanted. The hospitality at both stays was incredible. Especially appreciated the team on board the boat who accommodated our dietary requirements amazingly, and put together a wonderful, memorable anniversary for my parents. The app and the Dossier shared ahead of the trip were amazing, and the airport services were a lovely additional perk!"
