Sand, sunsets, pyramids and wedding rings

Egypt knows a thing or two about love stories. The star-crossed flames Isis and Osiris. Beautiful Nefertiti and her lover Akhenaten. Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, whose tale rocked two empires. And now it’s your turn.  

Egypt serves up some very special destinations to tie the knot. You could choose to get married in a tent of silks and fabrics shimmering in desert sands. How about under the stars for a truly memorable ceremony? Or opt for shoreside nuptials, either alongside the River Nile or by the Red Sea.  

Once the ceremony is over, you’re in the ideal spot for your honeymoon. Wander the ancient sites of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. Or tick the Pyramids and the Sphynx off your sightseeing list.  

Alternatively, head to the beach for some serious R&R time. Snorkelling and scuba -diving are available for the adventurous too.

Where you can get married in Egypt

Sharm El Sheikh

Feel like an Egyptian god or goddess as you walk barefoot along the sand with the Red Sea right in front of you. And, with a 35-kilometere-long shoreline, Sharm El Sheikh gives you plenty of sandy aisles to choose from. If a beach backdrop isn’t for you, you can swap it out for the rolling dunes of the desert. 

Hurghada

Have a laidback barefoot beach ceremony on Hurghada’s sandy shore with panoramic views of the Red Sea setting the scene. Then, why not dial the tempo right up with an action-packed honeymoon full of snorkelling, desert quad biking and sandboarding.
