Ellen & Isaac

With your wedding gift we will travel back in time to the pyramid field at Dahshur home to the Red pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid both built by Snofru, founder of the 4th Dynasty and father of Khufu. We will venture inside the Red pyramid, which is the second largest pyramid in Egypt. Thank you!

On This trip to Memphis we will see the site of the ancient Egyptian capital during the Old Kingdom. (Not Elvis) With highlights that include a limestone colossus of Ramses II and a giant alabaster Sphinx weighing over 80 tons. We can't wait!

We'll take a ride across the desert to the great Pyramid of Khuf, tour the Giza Plateau, visit the Sphinx, and Valley Temple. We will experience all of this on the back of a camel!

We'll take a romantic and entertaining dinner cruise on the Nile with the city lights of Cairo as a backdrop. We will be entertained by spectacular belly dancers and a folklore band, with the unforgettable and extraordinarily colorful tannoura spin.

Absolutely no visit to Cairo would be complete without taking an unforgettable stroll around the Giza plateau, home to the Great Pyramids of Giza. The only present-day survivors of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. By standing at the very foot of the pyramids or Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus) we will appreciate the skill and determination of the Ancient Egyptians who built them 4500 years ago. We will then venture inside one of these fabulous monuments and explore the mysteries of its ancient past for ourselves.

No trip to Egypt would be complete without a visit to Khafres Valley Temple where we will gaze upon the enigmatic Sphinx, an ancient figure shrouded in legend and mystery.

No trip to Luxor is complete without a visit to the strikingly graceful Temple of Luxor, dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun-Min, Mut and Khonsu. Founded by Amenophis III in the XVIII Dynasty, it was added by successful pharaohs including Tutankhamun, Horemheb and notably by Ramses II. This will be a honeymoon experience we will not forget!

We will visit the two magnificent temples at Abu Simbel. These twin temples were carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharoh Ramesses ll in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Without a doubt, this will be a highlight of our trip to Egypt.

Why settle for a standard room especially on this special time. With your gift, we can plan ahead and upgrade to a romantic suite on our once in a lifetime trip!

What better way to enhance our fine dining experience than with our chosen bottle of exceptional wine.Cheers!

What could be better than knowing we'll have breakfast to enjoy between the sheets? We'll order eggs florentine, cinnamon rolls, freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee which all seem to taste better served to us in bed!
