Overview
Not every honeymoon needs the pyramids. For couples who want something quieter and more unusual, this five-day journey pairs the sea air of Alexandria with the silence of Siwa Oasis, one of the most peaceful places in Egypt, with palm trees, springs and a sky full of stars.
You start in Alexandria with a private welcome and a stroll along the Corniche, visit the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Citadel of Qaitbay and enjoy a seafood dinner by the sea. The next day you drive across the desert to Siwa, where you stay in an eco-lodge, swim in Cleopatra’s Spring, float in a salt lake and ride across the dunes to watch the sun set over the sand. A candlelit dinner under the palms is the finishing touch.
The mood is gentle and private, and the places have their own romance: the mud-brick lanes of Siwa, the evening call to prayer and the scent of the sea in Alexandria. It is the right choice for couples who prefer simplicity, nature and the pleasure of being together.
If you are looking for a Siwa and Alexandria honeymoon, this five-day trip is a lovely choice. EgyptLens arranges four nights in a hotel and eco-lodge with breakfast, private transport, a guide, the excursions and a candlelit dinner.
